The Underground Stage
“Eliott plays her first Sydney headliner tonight, and damn sure it won’t be the last. That voice is, honestly, preposterous. It makes eagles soaring over mountains look like lead-footed clodhoppers. Yikes.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157676468249898″]
“Yorke springs into life here tonight – wait, did I hear that right? – with their first ever gig. This can’t be possible. This is so fully formed, so rich and stellar and gaseous and amazing, it could have been in an oak cask for twenty years. Regina Spektor does Chvrches. Just fabulous.” Facebook | […]
“Lover opens up tonight with some buttery electronic soul, all aimed at just the right tempo and tone to cause involuntary spine flinches. Babies aren’t this smooth, like ice cubes spilling on a glass surface.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157701168997102″]
“Anatomy Class straddle a very delicious fence between jangling introspection and fearsome rock. They seem torn between wanting to utterly lose their shit, and maybe have a nice cup of tea. When they go, boy howdy do they go, but you can just sense the cardigan that lurks beneath. This is not a bad thing […]
“Amends channel some of the very best Smudge / Lemonheads heritage and add a layer of yelling over the top and some utterly daft stage banter that make the whole thing one of the most smile-worthy gigs of my year. Pure enjoyment in three-minute packages.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157674107038977″]
“Foxlore have a swagger in every tune, that starts off moving slowly but ends up massive and roaring and fairly bloody huge. Like a truck coming at you, down a long road, at night.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157704177575744″]
“There are precious few finer ways to top off a night than with a thick slab of Raave Tapes. Inventive, raucous, the nicest humans going – seriously, what the hell else do you need? Adorable audio, noise with nous.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157675504343628″]
“It’s been a long time since I last saw Sunscreen, right at the beginning. They were almost nervous back then – not now, this is so poised it should be on the cover of a magzine. In fact, they should be on the cover of a magazine.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157675484140358″]
“Johnny Hunter are channeling Jagger in lipstick, plus a couple of medium-sized earthquakes. There is much pointing, much rhythm, and much pounding, to the point where it’s possible stuff starts coming off the shelves.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157700183553112″]
