The Underground Stage
Show Notes “Lisa Caruso brings the band tonight, along with lashes of twanging, Tanya Donnelly levels of both soft and soaring song. Solo, the music haunts – but with the full band, it’s a mad, wonderful swing between a kind word and a big stick.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “The gentle strength of Le Pie – performing tonight for the first time with a new band lineup – just plain shines tonight. The songs bleed craft, constructed from heart and blood and viscera, but delivered with considered joy and intelligent, emotional depth. Most of the time it’s at your shoulder holding you […]
Show Notes “After much technical jiggery-pokery involving a busted lead, and – I swear – some actual magic tricks, Clay J Gladstone don’t so much start their set as detonate.

Show Notes “Richard Cuthbert’s fertile songwriting shines tonight, playing songs from the recent – brilliant – album, with the odd brand new one poking its head up to boot. Classic, jangly, and referencing (but not beholden to) the best bits of Australian-era Dando and Smudge, this is comfortable but in a way that still makes […]
Show Notes “Even above the fuzzy and glorious songs, which veer from shoegazey intensity to off-kilter Pavement-ish fun, Stressless find the joy in the grind, shine bright lights into grey days, and deliver enough smile to light up the whole damn city.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
Show Notes “Magnetic Heads is in solo Head mode tonight, and opens tonight with a series of songs that not only reference game theory, but that sound like irrational numbers – mathematically precise yet wonky and unpredictable, and all the more enjoyable for it.” Gallery Learn More Facebook | Instagram
