The Underground Stage
“C.O.F.F.I.N rage at the dying of the night, fearsome and fulsome, meaty and mental. Few bands have the muscle or the mass to pull it off – C.O.F.F.I.N have both, in bloody spades.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
“No-one needs me to tell you that Amyl & The Sniffers are God’s own tits. The only thing I’ll emphasise is that The Sniffers are an absolute *beast* of a band, and that while Amy Taylor is the star, that band fully shreds. No damn wonder she – and we – look so bloody delighted.” […]
“I’ve been shooting Straight Arrows shows for damn near a decade now and I’m plum running out of words to explain how deep their quality runs. So, one again for the record – one of the finest bands to ever grace a Sydney stage.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
“Pist Idiots are the anti-stars, the dark matter that binds the universe together. Zero interest in trappings of fame, just howling songs that cut deep. If you know, you know – based on tonight’s crowd, they are *feeling* it.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
“Gee Tee shoot straight to the veins, short and sharp and a shock to the system. It comes off almost naive in its simplicity – but if you think that, then you’re the mark. This is as sharp as a switchblade cutting the money right out of your pocket.” Gallery Learn More Bandcamp | Instagram
“Loose Fit open tonight’s inaugural Blank Generation caper with a sideways set that manages to be as sinister as it is joyful. Savage post-punk with serious party vibes, just the way to ignite the night.” Gallery Learn More Bandcamp | Instagram
“Deadshowws get smoother and more buttery with every landing, and tonight they’re as confident as they deserve to be. They banter with the crowd and play around with sound, a rollercoaster set with steep, gut-wrenching drops and weightless peaks, not least the traditional finale of “Baltimore”. Full-strength and brimming with fizz.” Gallery Learn More Facebook […]
“Lucid Hoops have suffered from COVID-driven cancellations, but the wait is worthwhile, their pent-up energy released in wave after wave of delirious, jerking song. Off its leash, with a smile on its face.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
“Taj Ralph has a knack for chill, a secret key that unlocks inner calm. Clever songwriting and that silky voice comes disguised as a balm, a salve for all your woes – or at least, enough to make you promptly forget them. Smoother than ice cubes on glass.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
