Chloe Parché @ Factory Theatre, 8th Mar
“Chloe Parché glitters like a nova, a blinding light expanding at high speed and brimming with enough energy to light up a night sky. This is fabulous full-band pop chock full of complicated stories and danceable emotion, everything about it screaming charm and joy and feeling. A magnificent set.” Gallery Listen

The Velvet Club @ Factory Theatre, 8th Mar
“The Velvet Club move with both urgency and care, a driving, pounding strut that moves at its own speed. It’s as arch as a raised eyebrow but it carries itself with both pace and vigour, classical indie rock with a healthy sense of modern paranoia. Much of this set is new, a twitchy and melodic […]
“Father’s Favourite make music this rich and dense and hair-shaking look simple and sound easy despite its complexity. It’s layered and it’s clever, classic rock and roll matched with a hefty swing and a get-out-of-my-way swagger. Buoyant and joyous, it’s a class act, in the most literal sense.” Gallery

Edgecliff @ Chuck Trailer’s CBD, 7th Mar
“Edgecliff’s set tonight soars with feeling and song, muscular but with a light touch, always delivering hefty songwriting – and weighty musical chops – but always leaving you just enough room to breathe. They’re also having an absolute whale of a time, which adds a giddy charm to it all. There’s a brand-new one on […]

Kingdom Calm @ Chuck Trailer’s CBD, 7th Mar
“Kingdom Calm fizz and froth, jazzy notes with Knopfler flourishes. It’s self-assured and walks with a confident strut, although its measured pace constantly threatens to break out into dance like a mad ‘un, and without any sort of decent warning.” Gallery Listen
