The Underground Stage
“Nerdlinger’s new album is called ‘Growing Up Is Getting Old” but they don’t appear to be suffering much from the latter while utterly refusing to engage with the former. Fast and fun, tonight’s mix of old and new tracks is a blast of bright colour and fresh legs, giddily daft and brimming with sugar and […]
“A Nerdlinger set snorts out of the nose and sprays itself all over the room, sticking to everything it touches. Insanely technical in its speed and harmony without ever seeming to pay any attention at all, it’s a joyous burst of involuntary joy and mayhem, and you’ll be picking happy bits of it off your […]
“One of Nerdlinger’s best to date, this is a middle finger raised high, the soundtrack to the best night of your life, and a fart joke at a funeral all wrapped into one đź–•”

“It is physically impossible to watch a Nerdlinger show and not grin like a goon at some point. Like jesters, they shake sticks in your face and remind you that life is inherently nonsense, and you really ought not take yourself too seriously. That is a serious message for such delirious times.” Facebook | Instagram […]
“Nerdlinger make out like they’re a bunch of doofuses, but yeah… nope. It might be wrapped up in snot and sand and a snarky grin but that doesn’t mean this ain’t got talent pouring off its one raised eyebrow. There are precious few bigger grins out there right now than this, fired up and furious […]
“Sydney’s homegrown punks Nerdlinger are having a ball. Clearly revelling in the role of punk clowns, the faces gurn, the guitars blaze, and the songs aim straight for the head. With some impressive crowd control – not least getting everybody to kneel down on Frankie’s legendarily gross floors – there’s a massive show in here, […]
