9) Future Haunts ‘Social Glue’ Single Launch
2nd July
What: Brisbane’s Future Haunts share their new single ‘Social Glue’, and are heading to The Brightside to celebrate with very special guests Fragile Animals. Lyrically, ‘Social Glue’ explores the ubiquity of the patriarchy and toxic masculinity, and the ways in which they impinge on our everyday lives.
Why: There will be a guy selling ‘social glue’ round the back in order to make this sound tolerable.
8) GODLANDS: Live
2nd July
What: Adelaide producer, self-proclaimed hellraiser and superstar on the rise, Godlands rips into Brisbane for her first headline show of the pandemic! A product of old school sound meeting new school methods, Godlands has proven she is a forerunner of the new wave of Australian electronic music.
Why: If only she had to power to actually raise hell. At least satan can play a real instrument.

7) Slowly Slowly: Live
2nd July
What: There’s an unshakable sense of comfort and resonance that comes with listening to Slowly Slowly. Frontman Ben Stewart’s vivid lyricism and emotionally-charged vocals douse swirling guitars and soaring percussion and prove the band as nothing short of striking storytellers. Experience them live.
Why: ‘Comfort’ and ‘boredom’ and so oft interchangeable it seems a waste to have two words for it.

5) Dark Moon Society ‘Night Demon’ Single Launch
2nd July
What: Hailing from the ends of Brisbane’s outer suburbs, Dark Moon have forged a path through the scene via relentless gigging at local venues and even graced the stages of a few of Brissys most popular festivals, such as Good Things 2020, bringing their groove based flavour of stoner/alt rock with them.
Why: Remember when weed was such a big thing a genre was dedicated to it? Explains a lot about the current state of music and the sweeping meth epidemic.
