Hot off the run of Bigsound showcases, Brisbane's Walken headed back to Solbar for a headline show, bringing along Big Whoops (fresh off a short hiatus, with a revised line-up), and Sunny Coast trio, Muules, for a big night of alt-rock goodness.
Read MoreIconic Brisbane trio, Regurgitator wrapped up their well-received national tour with a bang at Solbar on August 26th. Fellow Brisbanites, The Stress of Leisure were there to open the night in all their weird, kooky glory. Unsurprisingly, the crowd was full of Gen X'ers getting absolutely loose, and frankly, loosing their shit (in a good way) when the 'Gurge took to the stage. A solid set, which did lean heavily on tracks from the ARIA-award winning 'Unit', but also some epic new tunes, and a scattering from the rest of their, frankly, quite hefty catalogue.
Read MoreAustralian lords of technical death metal, Thy Art is Murder kicked off their The Death Dealers Australian Tour with massive force at Solbar on Thursday night. Supported by Alpha Wolf, Antagonist A.D., and Xile, the heavy is real, and we sent photographer Cynthia Lee to capture the night in photos.
Easily one of Australia's most unique voices, Katy Steele (of Little Birdy) stopped by The Bison Bar in Nambour as part of her national Solo Acoustic Tour.
Read MoreJeff Martin is no stranger to the Sunshine Coast. The award-winning frontman for iconic Canadian trio, The Tea Party has played shows on the Coast on his solo tours for a few years now (plus The Point's first live experience with The Tea Party was at the Nambour RSL - which they played twice!).
The charismatic rocker brought his solo show to the Imperial Hotel Eumundi, as part of his The Stars in the Sands tour on July 26th, along with support Mitch King. We sent photographer Cynthia Lee to capture the night (and reported back with how much she loved the show, and went straight to her 90s playlists...)
Looking more like a mini-festival with this line-up, we sent Cynthia Lee to capture some of the buzziest bands of the moment at Solbar, when Sydney's Rackett decided to swing through on their Space Cadet Tour.
Read MoreWe're not short of talent in the alt-rock/punk/heavy department on the Sunshine Coast, but we are short of our own festivals that cater to this type of music…
Read MoreCaravãna Sun have become somewhat adopted sons of the Sunshine Coast. The Sydney-based quartet have made so many trips across the nation (and throughout Europe), and are well-known for their infectious energy on stage.
