The lineup for the night includes:

SL8ERBOY

A 4-piece indie rock band from Sydney, SL8ERBOY brings some reminiscent 90s alt-rock tunes to yourears. 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 (Uh-wuh Mmm-bye), 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, Genesis Owusu, & Remi Wolf.

Safety First

Staring at the black mold on an inner west sharehouse ceiling, Safety First are a welcomed fan favorite of the Sydney indie scene. Lead singer Lexi Green'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 flaws and insecurities.

More TBA!
