7) Voiid ‘Someday The World Will Change’ Tour
19th February
What: Select Music & Bluebeard Music presents the Voiid ‘Someday The World Will Change’ Tour at The Brightside (outside). VOIID took influence from the likes of L7, Smashing Pumpkins, and Hole, and has released critically acclaimed EP’s Pussy Orientated and Drool. Not just taking influence from the grunge rock revival of the 90s and noughties but giving their modernised answer to the genre almost 30 years later. Experience their new release ‘Socioanomaly’ live.
Why: We always thought this decade’s answer to the 90s was just copying the 90s. Guess this fits.
6) Life on Earth: Live
18th February
What: ‘Life On Earth’ are a powerhouse musical collective, this show featuring Rohan Seekers on keys (Astro Travellers), Lachlan Swamdog on bass (HRBRT, Church), Tristan Rogers on trumpet (Astro), Nathan McGregor on drums (HRBRT, Captain Dreamboat) and freestyle MC, Roman Is Alive (BULLHORN). Experience this incredible experimental indie collaboration live for one insane night.
Why: We’ve all had moments when we’ve put everything awesome we have into a bowl, mixed it up and ate it. Sometimes it tastes like heaven. Sometimes it tastes like whatever comes out of Mickey Rourke’s butthole. We’re unsure of how this one will turn out. We do know it’s always wise to be high before consumption.
