The Underground Stage
“So good to see Winter Moon, that nutty fission of soul and punk and metal and general noise is such a pleasure. There’s even more of them than the last time I saw them, and the sound just gets bigger and bigger. There are few finer things in life than tuneful yelling backed with massive […]
“Cash are through from Melbourne and have managed to squeeze a truck-sized package of smoky power into a two-piece. Chunky great riffs, a healthy side of floor toms, and a vocal that absolutely-beyond-any-doubt *knows* it’s better than you. Because it is.” Facebook | Instagram
“Lord Dodongo have this ridiculous sense of theatre and drama, like QOTSA staged by Lloyd-Webber. It’s insistent and atmospheric and as tough as a fucking goat. This is honestly quite a bit magnificent.” Facebook | Instagram
“Cakefight have come to visit and they do make an entrance. Thumping and giddy, this is isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s full to the brim and spilling over the edges.” Facebook | Instagram
“I’ve only ever seen Viral Eyes once before tonight but they made more of an impact in one set than lesser bands make in five shows. It’s a HUGE sound, dripping with tune, serrated and deadly, but enough to suck you right in to your doom. An absolute gem of the scene.” Facebook | Instagram
“Fresh up from the ‘Gong, Scab Baby seem to have travelled all this way to shout themselves hoarse and put a sharp brick in the back of our heads. Fitting neatly into the Mini Skirt / Pist Idiots. / Drunk Mums bracket of flat-out punk one minute, then going brutally heavy the next, this is […]
“Jugular Cuts have got two instruments, neither of which are guitars. How, then, is it possible to make an ear-splitting racket like this with just a bass and a set of drums? Christ, it’s formidable stuff.” Facebook | Instagram triple j Unearthed Embedded Player
“Straight Arrows are scene pros, and you never expect anything less than badass, swaggering brilliance. And so it comes to pass tonight. There are few more beloved outfits in Sydney, a bands’ band, and – once again – they prove why. Just so much bloody fun. Mandatory listening.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“Rosa Maria their trade through the medium of vaguely unhinged garage and surf, while psyche and blues seep their way into the timbers. They swap vocal duties, drop some slicked-back riffs, yelp a fair bit, play the maracas like their lives depended on it, and generally have / cause a whale of a time. It’s […]
