“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″]

Los Tones @ The Lansdowne, 10th Jun
“It’s been ages since I saw Los Tones and their stompy cacophony, and it’s as fresh as it ever was, cooked so long it’s falling off the bone. Also, the facial hair remains MAGNIFICENT.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157697854352685″]

Totty @ The Lansdowne, 10th Jun
“Totty may be the happiest band I’ve ever seen on a stage. Given that they’ve come fully stacked with a bag of songs that veer brilliantly between Courtney Barnett and Hockey Dad – they bloody should be happy. And so should we.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157694695697522″]

Georgia June @ The Lansdowne, 10th Jun
“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 @ The Lansdowne, 10th Jun
“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 @ The Lansdowne, 10th Jun
“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″]

Bugs @ Wayward’s, 1st Jun
“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 […]

Paper Thin @ Wayward’s, 1st Jun
“Holy hell! Paper Thin are in from Newcastle and blimming crikey, they’ve packed their van with some serious tune. This is massive, raw, and wired to the gills. Hilariously big songs, blank verse, Smith Street heart-on-sleeve hugeness, what a damn band this is. I’ve been listening to them on record all week and it doesn’t […]

Max Quinn @ Wayward’s, 1st Jun
“Max Quinn is off of Triple J, so he’s got a pretty high bar to clear in terms of stage banter – and that one gets cleared easily. Being on the radio *and* having a kickass band is an even higher one, and holy hell, it makes me want to vomit how easily the talented […]
