Brisbane singer-songwriter Alex L'Estrange showcased promising indie-rock material, shining most when pushed beyond his comfortable vocal range and sustaining notes with confident bravado. The warm response he received from the crowd betrayed minimal attendance, indicating the strong impression he left.

I Know Leopard broke up the guitar-centric evening with gloriously articulated indie-pop tracks. The multi-instrumentalist group know how to keep things fresh by seamlessly swapping keys for violins, drums kits for drum pads and synths for tambourines. The soft synth tremolos in set highlight Spaceships complemented the vocal harmonies that blended with Luke O'Loughlin's colourful leading melodies. The tropically dreamy Hold This Tight was a collaborative effort; individual praise for each member's contribution was well deserved. Newest release Rather Be Lonely alluded to the synth-focused move this quartet could be taking. Wherever they're going, it's worth following.

Beginning what they claimed to be their "biggest headline show ever", the aptly named Holy Holy put on a rock performance of biblical proportions. Oscar Dawson's guitar skills won the night, receiving monumental praise from the bewildered punters with every riff.

Holy Holy treated attendants to a lengthy set, energetically orchestrated by lead singer Timothy Carroll. The horn section accompanying the arpeggiated synth in their newest release Elevator added warm, textural vibes to the Sydney outfit's steady rock sound. Bassist Graham Ritchie's groovy interlude went just long enough to ease the audience into a false sense of calm before exploding with Impossible Like You. Unreleased song True Lovers was a nostalgic, pop-rock gem, earning a literal tip of the hat from one fan following Dawson's immersive guitar solo. A sombre tone spread across Metro Theatre when an encore performance consisted of Leonard Cohen's So Long, Marianne, the band paying their respects to the recently deceased icon. The show was appropriately finished with one of Dawson's extraordinary signature, and by now expected, guitar solos during Pretty Strays For Hopeless Lovers.
