There was barely any time to pause between songs for Fuzzsucker tonight. He showcased some impressive energy, which was only matched by his erratic costume changes, ranging from a black wife beater, to a black faux coat to a Canberra Raiders jersey. While is it was unclear if this was a strictly musical or comedy act, he had the crowd in stitches with his over the top performance.
Three-piece Kit Convict and Thee Terrible Two brought bucketloads of music talent to the stage. The guys were extremely Australian in sound, coming across as good Aussie blokes that just want to play music. They were they kind of guys you would want to play backyard cricket with at a Sunday BBQ, where they would hopefully play a set or two.
Shepparton Airplane came on stage about 10.30m, and they delivered. Their set was filled with the classic anti social goodness that you might expect from a post punk rock band with a homegrown Aussie feel. The band had some serious stamina, rocking so hard throughout their set that mic stands and foldbacks toppled off the stage, while Steve Striker’s drumkit precariously teetered over the edge of the stage.
The band opened their set with a brand new untitled track, before charging through the entire track listing from their independently released self-titled EP. The set highlight was What Would You Know, where they channelled classic New York punk rockers The Ramones.
