With Kitty of the Valley, Problem Green, HAZE (DJ) & Late Night Indie Covers Band
Introducing C.A.S.I.O… the Inner-West’s new late-night melting pot.
Inspired by the late-night punk clubs of London, New York, and L.A., to the pop-up tent gigs at Glasto at 2am, CASIO is your new spot for post-midnight kick-ons.
Heading up the inaugural lineup is none other than Kaurna/Adelaide’s The Empty Threats, who fuse Australian post-punk and noise rock into a metallic rainbow of snarling bass, frenzied guitar work, restless percussion, and electric clarinet.
You’ll also see Kitty of the Valley — up-and-coming indie-sleazers whose live shows are fast proving they don’t intend on slowing down, and are one of Sydney’s busiest bands. Take it from us: their live show is insane.
Opening the night is Sydney garage-punks Problem Green, who’ve been cutting their teeth around the local scene for the last year, which has culminated in a high-energy live show that all of you egg-punks shouldn’t miss.
If that wasn’t enough we’ve hot HAZE on the decks between bands and a late night indie covers band!
Launched in 2017, The Empty Threats are a band of unconventional souls that feel things intensely, pouring their emotions into their compositions and stagecraft.
Perceiving the world as atypical misfits, they unapologetically lean into radical authenticity, creating music which freefalls into the depths of human emotion.
The Empties are made up of long-term contributors to the Adelaide live music scene; Stu Patterson, Matt Schultz, Lenny Regione, Michael Bond, Grace Mensforth and Alex Dearman. Inspired by artists Tropical F*ck Storm, Aldous Harding, Kraftwerk and Car Bomb, their rebellious sound blends experimental noise with euphoric dance grooves, executed with professionalism, expertise and flamboyant theatrics.
A live Empties show combines Bowie-esque glamour with unbridled energy, a cathartic experience that cultivates a sense of belonging and acts as medication for both band and audience. The Empty Threats have become renowned for their politically charged anthems and compelling live shows, where amps are scaled, roofs climbed and rafters swung from. Their raw and unguarded lyrics are delivered with tremendous stature on stage in an unfiltered show of liberated expression, curating a seductive and safe atmosphere in which big feelings are welcome and individuality is encouraged. : - Katie Jay
