Australian rock legends The Living End opened their regional tour with a sold out show at Venue 114 last night, with SPEIRA warming up the room before the iconic trio tore through their monster catalogue of Australian classics.

SPEIRA

Brisbane newcomers SPEIRA opened the night with a tight, confident set and the kind of early-crowd-loyalty most new bands would die for.

The four piece are still relatively new to the scene, but they have already recorded at Yama Nui Studios, appeared at BIGSOUND and developed a strong chemistry alongside a growing legion of fans.

The Living End

Three decades in, The Living End remain absurdly fit, brutally tight and completely uninterested in coasting on nostalgia.

Chris Cheney, Scott Owen and Andy Strachan powered through a huge catalogue of Australian rock classics with the sharp musicianship and relentless energy of a band still operating at full force.

The sold out Sunshine Coast crowd responded accordingly, moving from ‘safe cool’ to fully feral moments, as the bangers just rolled in.
