FUNGAS / MEDIA PUZZLE / POLTERGEIST 9000 / STUPID BABY / BIG HECK / DARTY / SIENNA SMITH + MORE
MEET THE LINEUP :)
SIENNA SMITH
Central-Coast Local Musician Sienna Smith, a singer songwriter who accompanies myself on guitar usually playing indie/folk/alternative type style of music
SHACKED
Shacked! is a five-piece psychedelic surf-punk band from the Darkinjung/Central Coast region of NSW. Known for their high-energy, genre-bending sound—blending sludgy textures, kinetic bursts, and power ballads—they have become a staple in the East Coast live music scene.
STUPID BABY
STUPID BABY is the Central Coast’s legacy 3-piece punk & roll band of abrasive, sludgy garage-rock and manic post-punk. Blending sweet-and-sour art-rock sensibilities with a chaotic DIY aesthetic, their live show is legendary—just ask Ocean Alley, The Chats, Everclear, or the crowds at Rolling Sets, all of whom have shared the stage with these local icons.
JACK GRIFFITH (PIST IDIOTS)
You might know Jack as the frontman of the @pist.idiots but he'll be comin at ya all by himself with new songs and a big heart of gold
MEDIA PUZZLE
Led by the magnetic Tom Peter, the prolific lo-fi post-punk band out of Australia.. What began as a joke in regional New South Wales has quickly evolved into something far more expansive. Now based in Melbourne and operating as a full band, media puzzle are moving away from the tightly wound, drum machine-driven chaos of their early releases and into a broader, more unpredictable sound.
With fourth album New Racehorse marking a clear shift in approach, Tom and co. are embracing live instrumentation, jangle-pop textures and a more open-ended way of writing, without losing the sharp humour and restless energy that defines the project.
POLTERGEIST 9000
Hailing from the rugged creative landscape of Nipaluna (Hobart), Poltergeist 9000 is a high-decibel synth-punk duo that exists at the volatile intersection of visual art and visceral noise made up of Iggy Clue & Cal 9000. Built on a foundation of DIY ethos and raw experimentation, the band takes the classic drum-and-bass duo format and pushes it through a blender of hyper-energetic punk and industrial grit. Drawing inspiration from the frantic architecture of Lightning Bolt, the genre-bending audacity of The Garden, and the electronic carnage of The Prodigy and Atari Teenage Riot.
FUNGAS
Fungas craft infuses deep elements of psych, punk, and garage, consistently diversifying their tone to all those that choose to engage in their psychedelic sound-bath. Fungas's energetic live shows continue to encapsulate their new art madness with constant rhythmic changes stylised with experimental sounds of mellotron, trip percussion and lots of delay.

Nights With Tiki La La (Fig + Ruby Archer)
SUBCULTURE? presents Nights With Tiki La La on September 15th from 7pm with South-Coast Indie group FIG, and Central-Coast Local Ruby Archer
FIG - (@figband) The band initially started as a writing and recording project of vocalist Tim Burnett, after he threw out his digital recording process, and began experimenting with tape machines and older analogue gear. One by one, new and old friends joined to help bring the project to life. The result, Fig's debut album Harumi Hotel, was released in 2020 to much local acclaim.
Having played numerous sold out shows around Sydney, including at the Factory Theatre, Marrickville Bowling Club, and the Lansdowne, Fig is set to return in 2023 with music that digs deeper into 80s pop and rock; recalling the quirky electronica of Mark Mothersbaugh, the beautiful dream-pop heights of Beach House, and the pulsing drive of Springsteen’s ‘Born in the USA’.
RUBY ARCHER - (@ruchyarcherrr)
18 year old singer-songwriter from the Cenny Coast NSW who creates angry, jazzy rock with feminist undertones & husky vocals. I reckon the power of music is one of the few magics in this world, and the way it connects people is something sacred. I like to use this gift of the groove to convey my subconscious to anyone who cares, or anyone who doesn’t and just likes the sound of my music. So that's me, you should come see me and my band play - “Ruby and the Groovy Doobies” and boogie with us, we’re fun as. And yeahhh hope you like my shit aye, have a good one :)
