Lineup for the night includes:
SL8ERBOY
A 4-piece indie rock band from Sydney, SL8ERBOY brings some reminiscent 90s alt-rock tunes to your ears. drawing inspiration from nerdy subcultures, romantic mishaps, and geological events.
“SL8ERBOY’s glossy guitar pop carries weight with it, a lush ride on a big wave. Glorious in joy, but heavy on songwriting, this is a dress-up box full of delights.” – The Underground Stage, 2022
Awa Mbaye
The forthright and fun-loving collide in Awa Mbaye, with sense from nonsense Awa dives in vibe-over-matter, ‘cause the world outside is too real at the best of times.
Traveling her own corners of R&B, indie and alt-pop Awa’s sonic direction enthralls and echoes Tkay Maidza, & Remi Wolf.
Safety First
Staring at the mold on an inner west sharehouse ceiling, Safety First are new fan favorite of the Sydney indie scene.
Lead singer Lexi’s relatable observations and innate quirkiness find their natural place among alt-rock guitars as the whole band unites in an all-or-nothing attempt to embrace their own insecurities.
