Not your typical offering of small time up-and-comers playing an empty room to support an inverted pyramid of mainstream heavyweights; more like a satisfying degustation menu of thoughtfully selected, mostly local artists.
“I’m gonna need everybody to shake it off. Let loose. Be free.”
In the middle of a packed Oxford Art Factory, synths blaring around them, two girls looked at one another and sighed, overcome: “Feels,” they gushed together.
“I pray for you/And you know I don’t like Jesus.”

“No family is safe/When I sashay.”
Oxford Art Factory was graced with the presence of two unforgettable characters on Wednesday night.
“Oh, look above you now/There’s a heavy cloud/Hanging over us.” The lyrics to Explain were an apt description of the weather on a rainy night overlooking Sydney Harbour, but spirits were high for a Valentine’s eve show.
Sydney was treated to a technicolour dream show on Thursday night when Little Dragon hit the Opera House.
