The Underground Stage
“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″]
“Last time I saw Clews they were two sisters with stunning harmonies, tunes of delight, and acoustic guitars. All those things are still true except the guitars are electric and there’s a whole band. The tunes are still a box of bloody wonders too.” [flickr_set id=”72157689854974132″]
“Imbi The Girl drops a rich mix of new soul and hip-hop, but without the self-seriousness that so often plagues the genre. Cheery, dense, full of bounce, and more infectious than Aussie Flu. Also: the intermediate-level hip-swinging lesson is much appreciated.” [flickr_set id=”72157691974343114″]
