The Underground Stage
“My first impression of Neighbours way back when was just how shouty they were. That was good. Somehow though, each time I see them, they get even sharper, with more threatening and serrated edges. This is angular, angry, and glinting with menace. Any more of an edge and there’ll be blood spilled.” Facebook | Instagram
“Not my first time seeing Moody Beach but I’m still continually knocked off-balance by the level of both art and muscle on show. A long way from easy listening – but right up alongside awesome.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157709397685292″]
“Misty Lanes open up tonight’s shenanigans and promptly drown us in sopping wet reverb, and some truly gorgeous sound. Weaker mortals may claim that they have too many guitars. I think that’s like saying there’s too many chocolate chips in the cookie. This is rich, decadent, and very lovely.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157709397863851″]
“The Mis-Made are launching their “Dead Man” single tonight, but that’s just one track among a crazy powerful set. Each tune has lungs like a set of factory bellows, enough air and thrust to lift the building off its pilings. A fabulous roar.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157708666851734″]
“Given the timing, there’s only one band to see in Sydney on the night after the night before. Fait Accompli are not here to make you feel better – they’re just here to make you *feel*. I’ve seen this band a bunch of times but I’ve never seen them (or nearly anyone, ever) quite so […]
“Patient Lounge are down from Queensland and bring with them a whole fleet of operatic rock freakouts. The widdly guitar is turned up to high, the bellow is redlining, and the train, she is off the rails. Classic, but also deeply bonkers. Great fun.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157708501780365″]
“White Bay have a beady eye and a calculated gaze. This is error-free ball – as precise as a hawk’s eye, as sharp as its claws, and as large and roaming as the mountain range it’s flying around in.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157707158303121″]
“NTL Landmarks have worked out that a twelve-string guitar makes you automatically sound like you know what you’re doing. The rest of it makes us all realise that big, agricultural, Smudge-ish tunes absolutely proves it. Like it’s been well-painted.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157677967455977″]
“Kitten Heel bring all the neck-snapping twitch and quicksand-y bloop of every 80s new wave band with them, along with some truly shoulder-shuddering songs. Needs a bigger room to fit it all in, it’s a big construction.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157680122801098″]
