The Underground Stage
“Moody Beaches are completing their inaugural residency at The Gasometer tonight, and their time in other bands (including La Bastard) has not been wasted. They’re serrated and rough-edged, and they make a racket that’s short on bullshit and long on heft.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157683217508535″]
“Tankerville bring the hard noise. They’re basically hacked off about all of you – no seriously, you. Yes, you. They express their displeasure through hardcore and facial hair, and it’s the best fun you’ve ever had being yelled at.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157683117930056″]
“Green Tin play other people’s music, but they play it like the Detroit Cobras play other people’s music. Basically, they take other people’s music and mash it into Muddy Waters vs Sonic Youth. What a bloody fun time it is.” Facebook [flickr_set id=”72157681358046310″]
“Particles are headlining, finally, for their single launch, and there’s definitely something more fun about them when the crowd is fully lubed. Late at night is when they sound best, roaring and thumping and squealing away like the Gremlins you shouldn’t have fed. S’gonna be a good year for them.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“NARLA play serious rock for serious rockers, chunky prog mixed with some incredible technical chops. But you also get the sense of fun in there, like they want to be serious, but keep cracking up. Wit Rock. It’s a thing.” Facebook | Instagram triple j Unearthed Embedded Player [flickr_set id=”72157681087010760″]
“Forest Hall have almost no direction at all, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. For a two-piece, they really do rattle around all over the place, and you get the sense that between the extremes of yelping, shredding and crooning, they really just don’t care if you can keep up or not.” Facebook | […]
“Since playing live is the most fun you can have, it always suprises me when bands just kind of shuffle on. Not Rackett. Props, matching outfits, *enormous* stagecraft, it’s all there in spades – few bands have both the songs and a show game this strong.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157680847995300″]
“I just can’t get enough of watching Julia Why?. It just veers so smoothly between gentle and hard-as-nails so often, it leaves you slightly knackered – and on top of that there are killer tunes. Keep it coming, it just doesn’t get old.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157682546241316″]
“C.O.F.F.I.N are not subtle, like someone banging a fucking big nail into the back of your head isn’t subtle. This is blister-your-arse fast, roaringly hairy and unreconstructed mayhem, and is as much fun as falling out of a speeding car. Which is to say – blindingly great fun.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157682645421245″]
