The Underground Stage
“Dumb Punts are – at their core – as nuts as a bag of rabid dogs. Snot, blood, sweat, booze, and a truckload of drugs and shouting. Seriously – what else might you need in your life?” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157697854446895″]
“Moaning Lisa are up from Canberra and have brought luggage full of big song – despite the claims of being miserable – that is guaranteed to cheer you up. Great big slabs of happy, distorted head-nodding. Miserable my backside, this even puts a grin on my miserable face.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157667950293577″]
“Nick Nuisance & The Delinquents deliver long-poured mixes of humour and crazy across the set today. Rough round the edges, crazed of eyeball, served raw. Just the way you like it.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157692067199680″]

“Georgia June are high-impact, for sure. A band full of loopily enthusiastic musicians, fronted by a voice that tears strips off you with strength and tunes that seduce you with melody. Holy moley, they’re *really* good. If you’re in the market for the next Preatures – stop looking. Phew.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set […]
“100 are mean, as in menacing – as brutal and efficient in their simplicity as a bayonet. Each tune is ruthlessly whetted, keen and threatening but without ever losing a sense of soaring above it all. I really bloody like this. Bad music for good moods.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157697822590045″]
“Diana Radar have got this lovely clean / raw thing going on. It jangles, but the sparks are flying from where it’s scraping on the concrete. Bags of energy, bags of jangle, with an electrical current running through that makes you bite down hard.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157697272691634″]
“ALL THE JOY. ALL THE DANCING. There is nothing in the world that will fire me up more than a Bugs tune. Sweet Lord of the universe, dear Santa, Easter Bunny – just send me more of this, wrapped up in foil for me to gorge on, so I can learn to be a better […]
