The Underground Stage
“Brisbane’s Flangipanis bring Formula 1 punk rock to Sydney tonight, high-speed and high-tech, fun to watch and not a little deafening. There are clearly punters in tonight who’ve been waiting to see them live – next time, I want to be one of them too, they’re having all the fun.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“It is physically impossible to watch a Nerdlinger show and not grin like a goon at some point. Like jesters, they shake sticks in your face and remind you that life is inherently nonsense, and you really ought not take yourself too seriously. That is a serious message for such delirious times.” Facebook | Instagram […]
“Aw hey, look! Revellers are back! Fair’s fair, I never saw them before they took their break – but I did enjoy “Your Round” more than a few times. That gets played tonight, plus the trademark mix of tight melody, bruising rhythm and FUCKING SCREAMING OUT LOUD. It hasn’t aged badly. New one’s a belter […]
“The Great Awake bring a hatful of tune to every set, as well more enthusiasm than literally all of the puppies – it’s hard to watch this on a Sunday and not just cross off the the early half of the coming week as a bad job. Fun served up by the barrel.” Facebook | […]
“Andy Golledge might be fond of cowboy hats, but he’s a long way from being all stetson and no song. This mournful little beauty is just as at home by a fire under a prairie sky as it is as a contrast to the madhouse of city life. Someone get me a damn horse.” Learn […]

“Candy may sound – on record – like a terrific bedroom experiment, like someone playing with guitar, a bit of electronics and great pop. Live, the electronics are gone, and it is MASSIVE guitar jangle-punk of the highest water. Such a way with a song, and that giddy sneer / smile vocal never fails to […]
“Press Release are positively dripping with quiet menace. From the pounding rhythms and slicing guitars, to the minor-key cover of “And Then He Kissed Me”, this isn’t a band that allows you to take it at face value. The glint of a switchblade in a dark alley.” Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157712098225712″]
“Jarrow tells vaguely absurdist stories with a Malkmus or David Gedge guitar sense. It constantly seems utterly lost but always manages to find where it’s going, which is a neat trick if you can pull it off. Charmed.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157712097691042″]
