The Underground Stage
Show Notes Florange are a two-piece with a loop pedal, which means they sound like nineteen rampaging oddball cowboys instead of just a pair of them. The lines rattle and thump and judder, dust flies off each beat, and the whole set is delivered in widescreen, jittering technicolour. Cinematic, menacing, and wired straight into the […]
Show Notes “Othrship deliver groove to your door, full of just enough jazzy widdling and wonky tangents to make you think they’re up to something deeply sneaky. The cheery bits make your ankles twitch, but there’s mischief lurking in the background and it’s going to pick your pocket.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Shark Bay Dazy might come off like everything’s floaty and made of air but every single song in this set has muscles ripping the seams of its clothes. We soar off into the sky, propelled by wings with real power.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Lariska have a lot in their trick bag and decide to use all of it tonight. We get piano-driven, we get urgent, we get danceable, dreamy, fun, shouty, soaring… there’s so much musical skill in here but ultimately it’s like being hosed down with all of your favourite things.

Show Notes “Few bands could be better to get the feet – and the blood, and the alcohol levels – moving again than The Bottlers at Frankie’s. With all two hundred and seven of them onstage, the Celtic punk seeping into the carpet along with the spilled beer, it’s a bloody great big welcome back […]
Show Notes “It’s easy to dismiss Baby Beef – it’s a gimmick, an in-joke, not serious. That is a mistake. It’s funny as hell, sure, but it’s got depths of songwriting chops that are too easy to miss in the Wall Street yuppie chaos they create. Soaring moments of song cut through the immensely clever […]
Show Notes “Megafauna return to the stage tonight with a beauty of a set, rich and dense with emotion across the whole spectrum. While the set pounds on whichever of your organs contains all the feels, we do get a brand new one – featuring a Baby Beef – which is where, naturally, the joy […]
Show Notes “The Wattles – a true lockdown band – mark the early stages of my emergence into the world for a second year. Again, it’s a set of dense and luxurious song, restrained and complicated, bursts of flame against a pitch sky.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
