Dead Dirty Dinosaurs @ Frankie’s, 11th Mar

“Dead Dirty Dinosaurs are down from Brisbane, and while Sydney has welcomed them with rain, they’ve brought us the gift of serrated and sharply tailored punkishness. Pretty sure I know who got the better end of that stick.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from the very best new […]

We Are Not Robots @ Frankie’s, 11th Mar

“We Are Not Robots have been joined by their new guitarist Ava, and you will be unsurprised to discover this has not made them any quieter. New single ‘Just Lie Again’ rings out loud alongside their muscular set made of guitar hurricanes, laying waste to crops and farmland for miles around.” Facebook | Instagram | […]

Indigo Sparke @ Oxford Art Factory, 10th Mar

“Indigo Sparke and her songs swirl around the venue like smoke, at some points just the mere hint of a presence but at others an early warning that your whole damn house is about to burn down.

Angeles @ Oxford Art Factory, 10th Mar

“Angeles performs stripped way back tonight, and peeling back the layers reveals just how plaintive and pleading these enchanting songs are. The core of the thing is laid open, but it seems to retreat even further into the shadows.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released goodies from the very best […]

Lisa Caruso @ Oxford Art Factory, 10th Mar

“Lisa Caruso joins us solo tonight, which waters things down not one little bit.

It’s not the air-con that’s giving us the shivers.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe […]

Human Noise @ Wayward’s, 4th Mar

“Watching Human Noise is like staring at a cathedral – some parts are there to make your brain work, but some are there just to pummel your senses into a puddle of goo. A set so solid and grand it should come with blueprints.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist Thirty freshly-released […]

Motion Sickness @ Wayward’s, 4th Mar

“There’s something molten, volcanic about Motion Sickness. They don’t move fast, but they move with purpose, with weight and heft behind them. A rich, thick set, full of heat and fire, and it’s hard to stand in front of and not be rolled flat by it.” Facebook | Instagram Subscribe to The Underground Stage Playlist […]

Candy’s new track comes after an episode of derealization experienced by singer Calum Newton last year. He’s described it as a song he wrote to both help get him through it, as well as raise awareness of the experience. While the symptoms sound slightly terrifying, Candy brings a hefty dose of optimism along for the […]

Palms @ The Lansdowne, 26th Feb

“Palms are one of those bands that almost can’t help themselves. It’s been literally years since I saw them last and they’ve both grown musically and kept every last drop of energy and vim that made me love them the first time round. The new sits comfortably alongside the old, and the whole set fizzes […]
