The Volcanics

Back from their Volatile World tour of Spain, The Volcanics hit Amplifier Bar for a night of tasty guitar riffs, snappy drums and blistering garage punk.

HALF•ALIVE

The Rechabite
Wednesday, 18 June

Californian alt-pop trio HALF•ALIVE bring their Persona World Tour to The Rechabite. Hailing from Long Beach, California, the trio of Josh Taylor, Brett Kramer and J. Tyler Johnson blends rock, alt-pop and funk with cinematic flair. They walked into the spotlight with their 2017 EP 3 and their breakout single “Still Feel”, known as much for its infectious groove as its cool, choreographed music video. Their music will lock you in with their thoughtful, genre-defying electropop. Want to dance off those winter blues? This gig is not to be missed.

Killing Heidi

Magnet House
Saturday, 21 June

In the early 2000s, Killing Heidi stormed onto the Aussie music scene, winning ARIAs and blazing up the Hottest 100 with their iconic album Reflector. 25 years later, siblings Ella and Jesse Hooper are marking the milestone with a national tour. Expect hits like “Weir” and “Mascara” alongside all your favs. Reflector was a defining album of the Y2K era, capturing the spirit where explosive teen energy met the thrill of a new century, so why not relive the memories and experience the fierce energy live?
