The Night Cat is already such a vibe as a venue – the funky décor of the vintage lamps gives an ambient red glow across the space and really creates an intimate environment.

Groovin the Moo has always been one of my favourite festivals, I grew up going to GTM so it brings about a lot of nostalgia for me. It was the first festival I went to back in 2016, and I wore a  plethora of glitter and micro silver stars on my face paired with skinny jeans and an American Apparel crop top, very very cool…

The band has only ever played one other show a few months ago at The Workers Club, but smash cut to Wednesday night, where we die-hard fans stood in the Retreat’s band room, donning thick woolen scarves and clasping pints.

Drastic Park’s brand new release, Imposter Syndrome, was born entirely out of the current pandemic. Using this time to explore the production side of music, the Melbourne-based trio were able to record, mix, and master their EP from their homes, in isolation. They explore the idea of dual-perspectives, something that has been seen a lot during lockdown.

Brisbane deathcore band, Babirusa, will turn heads with their debut album titled Humanoid. When you hear their music, it’ll be no surprise that they’re named after an animal whose tusks can sometimes grow towards their skulls, piercing their brain and killing them.
