The Underground Stage
“The Buoys may well be the best band in Australia right now. There is so much here to chew on, it’s easy to end up choking on it. Wit, skill, big hugs, vicious blows to the kidneys, massive grins – it’s all here. Remember when we all went “oh hey, Barnett / Alex Lahey / […]
“Flyying Colours are like a razor blade to the throat, but always a bit out of focus. Imagine being really, really drunk and then getting in a knife-fight. While Ride is on the stereo. It’s exactly that, and as brilliant as it sounds.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“The best thing about seeing Good Pash play – aside from the wicked-ripping songs, is the sheer bloody joy they bring to the stage, and then liberally spread over the crowd. All bands should be like this, it’d be a better world, y’know?” Facebook | Instagram
“Grinding Eyes bring it hard and heavy as per tonight, bathed and luxuriating in darkness. Like a nail banged into the back of your head, in all the good ways.” Facebook | Instagram
“My first impression of Neighbours way back when was just how shouty they were. That was good. Somehow though, each time I see them, they get even sharper, with more threatening and serrated edges. This is angular, angry, and glinting with menace. Any more of an edge and there’ll be blood spilled.” Facebook | Instagram
“Not my first time seeing Moody Beach but I’m still continually knocked off-balance by the level of both art and muscle on show. A long way from easy listening – but right up alongside awesome.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“Misty Lanes open up tonight’s shenanigans and promptly drown us in sopping wet reverb, and some truly gorgeous sound. Weaker mortals may claim that they have too many guitars. I think that’s like saying there’s too many chocolate chips in the cookie. This is rich, decadent, and very lovely.” Facebook | Instagram
“The Mis-Made are launching their “Dead Man” single tonight, but that’s just one track among a crazy powerful set. Each tune has lungs like a set of factory bellows, enough air and thrust to lift the building off its pilings. A fabulous roar.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“Given the timing, there’s only one band to see in Sydney on the night after the night before. Fait Accompli are not here to make you feel better – they’re just here to make you *feel*. I’ve seen this band a bunch of times but I’ve never seen them (or nearly anyone, ever) quite so […]
