The Underground StageEssential new music from Australia’s most exciting artists
“Filthy-dark squelching and heavy-footed beats fill the air here, as if The Cure went clubbing. Even if it is all mostly made of analogue instruments it still sounds like an alarming vision of a dank future, dance music for dystopians.” Learn More: Facebook – Instagram – Twitter
“Andy Golledge might be fond of cowboy hats, but he’s a long way from being all stetson and no song. This mournful little beauty is just as at home by a fire under a prairie sky as it is as a contrast to the madhouse of city life. Someone get me a damn horse.” Learn […]
