Finish BIGSOUND 2019 Strong With Our Picks For Night Three

How much live music have you seen so far? A lot? Us too. But it's night three of BIGSOUND and you want to finish off the week with a bang. Here's our picks for the last hurrah and we'll catch you at the official after party tonight!

LOSER

We caught LOSER a couple of months back and were very impressed. We're also very impressed with their dog-heavy video for Vacation. All in all, it's a yes from us. 

Check them out: 5 Sep, Family, 8.00pm.

Freedom Of Fear

If you’re not across Freedom Of Fear and you’re headed to BIGSOUND - or worse, you’re already here - then you are making a very big mistake. Get your head in the game.

Check them out: 5 Sep, The Elephant Hotel, 8.00pm. 

Jaguar Jonze

We’re telling you now, don’t sleep on Jaguar Jonze. With only two singles to her name, Jonze has confidently and astutely thrown down the gauntlet. We’re slipping into some cowboy boots and pushing through those old saloon doors to join her.

Check them out: 5 Sep, Family, 8.50pm. 

Wolfjay

Remember that feeling of going back to school after the holidays and amid the squeals and fake "I missed you"s in the locker area, you locked eyes with your best mate and knew everything was going to be alright? Listening to Wolfjay feels like that. 

Check them out: 5 Sep, The Flying Cock, 8.50pm. 

Mermaidens

Some of last year's most impressive acts had crossed the Tasman to join us from New Zealand for BIGSOUND 2018, including the likes of The Beths and Wax Chattels. Give it a couple of years and we reckon that Mermaidens will be an NZ act that we're trying to claim as our own.

Check them out: 5 Sep, Ivory Tusk, 9.00pm.

Royal & The Southern Echo

Described as "a piña colada in the afternoon sun made with a dash of heartbreak and a touch of nostalgia", we are all about Royal & The Southern Echo and their jangly, dancey sounds. *Cue us dancing at the gig with a piña colada in hand*

Check them out: 5 Sep, The Foundry, 9.00pm.

PINCH POINTS

PINCH POINTS' album Moving Parts stopped us in our tracks and we expect their BIGSOUND showcase will have a lot of people doing the same. They made it into Bandcamp Daily's top 100 releases of 2018 for a very good reason.

Check them out: 5 Sep, Black Bear Lodge, 9.10pm.

DREGG

DREGG are like a Lars von Trier film - weird and heavy. Break out the face paint, nu-metal is back.

Check them out: 5 Sep, Crowbar Black, 9.40pm. 

FLOSSY

After establishing themselves as one of Perth's most promising acts, FLOSSY, fronted by sister duo Lauren and Sinead O'Hara, unveiled uplifting and charming new single Being Alone in August, marking an exciting change of pace just in time for BIGSOUND.

Check them out: 5 Sep, The Outpost, 10.30pm. 

Approachable Members Of Your Local Community

If their name and charmingly dorky fashion sense don't sell you, perhaps the industry buzz will, with the band inking an international record deal US label AntiFragile around the release of their latest single, On + On, in July. 

Check them out: 5 Sep, The Foundry, 10.40pm. 

Kat Edwards

Within a month of its release, Kat Edwards’ Good Girl had more than 100,000 hits on Spotify, which isn’t surprising given its hauntingly beautiful vocal melodies. The Hobart singer-songwriter’s BIGSOUND appearance follows on from a national support slot with Didirri, so no doubt her live show will be in fine form.

Check them out: 5 Sep, Empire Hotel, 10.50pm.

RedHook

Pop-punk can be hard to nail in Australia but RedHook have managed to carve their own unique path, injecting a somewhat tired sound with a heavy dose of alt-rock and gritty vocals - a decision that saw them take on Download Festival Sydney earlier this year after winning triple j Unearthed’s competition.

Check them out: 5 Sep, Crowbar Black, 11.20pm.

Cry Club

The Wollongong duo gained a stack of attention with their appearance at last year's BIGSOUND and have not stopped since. Learn the words to DFTM before their set because everyone else there will know them.

Check them out: 5 Sep, Famous, 11.30pm.
