The Underground Stage
“Hey Geronimo are currently trying out their new stage show. I can only assume the original suggestion was along the lines of “hey, let’s make space-age pop that drives audiences into dancing frenzies, while we’re dressed like the crew on the bridge of the Death Star.” It is precisely as batty and brilliant as it […]
“Lime Cordiale were apparently a last-minute addition to the bill, but I certainly can’t see anyone not happy about it. Their flavours of tropical, kitschy, pop and smashed-up, lose-yourself anthems mix well with the audience’s drinks, and by the end the sweat is pouring off and no-one knows where they are anymore.” Facebook | Instagram […]
“Major Leagues have almost nothing wrong with them at all. It’s really that simple. A hatful of melodious little wonders for a setlist, plus an attitude that balances halfway between aw-shucks and go-fuck-yourself. I could watch this band all day long. And so could you.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157683118667056″]
“Bad Pony have more drums than is really sensible. There are six of them and three play at least one drum, including their energizer bunny of a singer who barrels around like he’s had a toe cut off. So much spare energy it’s like they’ve plugged everyone into the mains. Hell of a thing to […]
“Mount Zamia are just bloody loveable, happy as clams, dropping thrumming 70s vibes all over the floor. Moments of madness peek out, tearing up the place every now and again, but the core of this set is some truly adorable song-writing.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157681358640690″]
“The Khanz are on early tonight, but there’s no shortage in the room of love for them, nor for their bombastic and huge-sounding Big Indie. The tunes are plentiful and free-flowing, large as houses, and as pounding as a summer thunderstorm.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter [flickr_set id=”72157680069299753″]
“Crocodylus just keep popping up on stages I end up in front of, and it doesn’t get at all dull. It’d be hard in fact to think how it could, since anyone who finds their lunatic rock n roll thrashabouts dull, is clearly in need of major surgery.” Facebook | Instagram [flickr_set id=”72157683217572805″]
“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″]
