Ellero proudly presents Ana Key & the Underdogs performing with nonbinarycode and Soarers at the UC Hub on Friday 26th April.

Formed in 2018, Ana Key & the Underdogs have quickly made their mark on the music scene, thanks to their cohesive sound and their dedication to creating original music. Led by the dynamic vocals of Ana Key and supported by Keith Joliffe on bass, Ole Nielsen on guitar, and Steve Deakin on drums, this band knows how to rock the stage. They're not just putting the S into punk; they're crafting a genre all their own by blending rock, new wave, blues, and comedy into an electrifying musical experience. Ana Key is a powerhouse vocalist with prolific song-writing experience, demonstrated by five albums of original music. To add to this, her band’s talent hasn't gone unnoticed, with awards in song-writing to their name, including a second place for Best Australian Song in 2015. They have performed in a multitude of exceptional venues and spaces including GIO Stadium, The Goulburn Blues Festival in 2019, and the 10th Raised Glass Mini Festival also in 2019. Their simple yet sensational musical grooves, paired with intelligent and funny lyrics, create an atmosphere of pure entertainment not to be missed.

Formed in April 2019 by InkBits (they/them) and The Hardman (he/him) , a multi-talented musician and music producer, nonbinarycode has evolved into a full band experience, with Sorrento (they/them) on bass and Racso (he/him) on drums. Each member brings their own flair and passion to the stage, creating a dynamic and engaging performance that keeps audiences hooked from start to finish. But nonbinarycode isn't just about the music—it's about inclusivity, representation, and advocacy. Through their lyrics, they explore themes of identity, love, and resilience, offering a voice to those often unheard in mainstream media. And beyond the stage, they actively advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights, mental health awareness, and social equality, using their platform to amplify marginalized voices and inspire others to embrace their true selves.

This will be the 2nd show for the Soarers in 2024 after some time working behind the scenes since first emerging in early 2022. With a full set of new original songs, they are more prepared than ever to reach new heights and deliver a refreshing take on the Hard & Alt Rock scene. The band is led by front man Aiden Ellero, a powerful and devoted singer, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist. He is joined by the talented and passionate members: Stephen Grbavac on lead guitar, Fateh Singh on bass, and Kyle Blane-Brown on drums. Come along for the ride to hear new and exciting music rising up from Australia’s capital.
