“The Cheaks snap like elastic, satisfying twangs and occasional shocks to the nerve ends. Bouncing like rubber but moving with speed and precision, it’s all good clean fun until you realise you’re carrying more than few bruises.” Gallery Listen

“The Cheaks are a live wire, cut and exposed, writhing around in the street with sparks flying off it in all directions. Bursting with high-voltage energy, this is a set designed to judder and shudder the shoulders and ankles until they overload and crackle into flame.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
