BROKEN ​


The remains of another wild and destructive set by the incomparable A Place To Bury Strangers. Routinely smashing their guitars, fusing them back together, only to be hammered again on the very next show, this performance at Yours & Owls Festival was no exception. With the post-set reverb fading and the haze of the smoke clearing, what was left in amongst the carnage were the battered remains of Oliver Ackermann’s guitar and John Fedowitz bass lying dismembered and disfigured on stage.

IN A WORD ​


The lyrical delivery of an artist can be threadbare and aching. It can be a raging, guttural battle cry. Yet it can also be utterly silent. Resting on her guitar stand ahead of her support slot performance, Courtney Barnett's powerful message ablaze on her Fender pickguard was one of defiance, strength, and solidarity. All without speaking a word. Her signature has always been an idiosyncratic, indefinable but quintessentially Melbournian style and the fact that she was opening in a university town at Sydney's Manning Bar for the stubborn, steadfast, and fiercely independent Billy Bragg, made her subtle protest all the more apt and all before a single note was played in anger.

LIFE'S A RISK ​


The guitar rack of riotous Los Angeles outfit Fidlar. Notoriously wild, exuberant, and rambunctious, the motto emblazoned across founding member Brandon Schwartzel’s bass guitar is an ethos worn like a badge. Champions for those socially disinfected fringe dwellers railing against jock culture and the institutionally sanctioned heteronormative leanings of American society, ‘Don’t Fear The Weird’ is the subtle phrase that belies the ferocious energy they infectiously display at each and every show they play.

SAY MY NAME ​


A single word. The true definition of legacy when your name reverberates throughout the ages, across the generations and between an array of genres. What started with one man continues through to today and the mere mention speaks volumes. The influence still resonating and an ode of the highest order. Garage outfit Los Tones gaffer tape the Kings name to their fender before their own electrifying set begins.
