The Underground Stage
“The Tommyhawks have come to Sydney all the way from Perth to basically show us how it’s done. It’s rare enough that bands have both songwriting skill, a spine of steel, and a sense of humour – but this is badass, witty, and danceable all at the same time. How many bands can you say […]
“High Tropics sound – undeniably – like The Strokes. While that’s an easy opening to call them derivative, it’s actually a bastard hard thing to pull off so convincingly. This is chock full of big song, and a is a bloody good time, piling through Saturday night like a runaway truck, scarcely even noticing how […]
“Keyring Jeans do the perfect three-piece thing, where everyone does one thing brilliantly. They’ve got an edge that’d carve your turkey, and they’re hugely strong on tune. Super-tight, super-tuneful, Superchunk. Not a damn thing wrong with that, either.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157692988210505″]
“Horror My Friend deliver sudden, sharp, shocks of song direct to the nervous system, jet fuel for the adrenal gland. Switching instruments but never missing a stride, they’re a thrill to see live, and a joy to listen to.” CONNECT Facebook | Instagram NEXT SHOW Feb 9th @ The Lansdowne, Sydney (supporting Die! Die! Die!) LISTEN […]
“I’ve seen Good Boy a couple times, but they tore the ceiling off tonight. “A Waste Of Approximately 122 Million Dollars” is both the funniest titled song of the year, but also isn’t the best one of the set – which is bloody saying something.” Facebook Instagram Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157668938702319″]
“I’m running out of superlatives for Jeremy Neale. Those songs are just bloody magical. What’s left to say at this point? He has excellent hat skills? Shit. Just love the bugger like I do, it’ll make yr life easier.” [flickr_set id=”72157663085476247″]
“Retiree pump out reams and reams of super-80s electronic pop with added touches of adorable goofiness. Comes off like it’s been dashed together, but it’s solidly constructed underneath, and it’s hard to resist if you’re in the mood for it.” [flickr_set id=”72157692717474915″]
“Holy Crikey, how good are A Swayze & The Ghosts? A singer with actual Jagger moves, angular and super-edged rhythms, and a show that’ll make you sweat just by watching it. Jeepers, that’s a band.” [flickr_set id=”72157692717416345″]
“Rainbow Chan is an icy cold pro. There are few acts that nail everything, note to note, but this is one of them. Crisp as a head of fresh lettuce, sharp as a freshly stoned blade.” [flickr_set id=”72157665127041568″]
