Avalanche City delight us with gentle folk-pop tunes filled with whimsical melodies and soothing vocals by frontman Dave Baxter. Most of the songs are about really horrific break-ups, but Baxter assures us they are not about his lovely wife who's manning the merch desk this evening. His latest single Inside Out is a hauntingly beautiful and emotional track inspired by a friend's broken relationship. On a happy note, Love Love Love is one to lift the mood and makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Conrad Sewell lights up with the tropical house-inspired smash Firestone - minus his mate Kygo, but instead with some help from his live band. Throwing in a few verses from Michael Jackson's PYT (Pretty Young Thing), Sewell leaves us with no doubt as to where he draws his soulful inspiration from. Sewell is all smiles, starting off the first of his three sold-out shows at Northcote Social Club on his first-ever headline tour. He's "made it to the big time" and is trying out an earpiece tonight to prepare for his upcoming Maroon 5 support slots. With a small string of hits already under his belt, tonight we're lucky enough to sample more songs before he releases his debut album. His soulful sound is packed with funky dance rhythms and carried by his incredible vocal range with a falsetto that's on par with his late hero, Jackson. Reminiscing about his time living in America, Sewell shares a new song featuring the lyrics, "Fuckin' with it". He assures us this means he's happy to be playing for us tonight, doing his thing — a good thing.

He's "a little boy with big dreams" and Sewell's dreams are starting to become a reality with the success of his single Start Again. One of Sewell's ambitions is to play at Glastonbury and — as he sings a new track about his Brisbane neighborhood — we imagine being there together, waving our hands in the air. His next radio-ready single is a sure to be another hit as Sewell poses the question, "Who you loving?" — aimed at his creepin' ex-girlfriend. Sewell's cheeky personality and charisma shine through as he flirts with the girls in the audience and flips his golden locks. Sewell shares a refreshing improvised outro, which he dedicates to his Melbourne fans, featuring his own little quirky rendition of Kanye West's Gold Digger. And then the soaring Hold Me Up is a great way to finish (with an extra chorus of Daft Punk's Get Lucky mixed in).
