In pictures: Trophy Eyes @ Solbar, 17/1/25

January 18, 20253 min read

It’s a balmy night and the crowd in the Solbar band room is sweating for Trophy Eyes.

The Newcastle punk-rockers are touring the Australian East Coast. They kicked off their tour on Maroochydore’s Ocean Street strip last night.

Solbar was the perfect venue for these guys. Offering a dark and intimate space, loyal fans are able to truly see their heroes up close.

I’m not surprised their Sunshine Coast show was a sell out. After playing in Brisbane last August, and bypassing the Coast, local fans were dying to get their Trophy Eyes fix.

More powerful pit moments for Bloom

Brisbane indie-pop rock outfit Melaleuca opened the night, playing their self-described “guitar-driven power-pop hits for losers with good taste”.

As the room filled up, Sydney’s melodic-hardcore five-piece Bloom made it known they are well-loved with fans singing their songs word-for-word in some powerful pit moments.

I did not know of these guys before the show, but they won me over as a new fan, with their passionate performance and variety of song catalogue.

A show for the real fans of Trophy Eyes

Covering songs from throughout their entire discography – including “Choke” and “Blue Eyed Boy” – Trophy Eyes fans were treated to all the fan-favourites.

Trophy Eyes have the knack of drawing out big feelings from their audience, leaving quite the emotional impact.

Early in the night, a rendition of “Life In Slow Motion” really got everyone moving. While sensational renditions of “You Can Count On Me” and “Chlorine” finished the show.

Technical and dynamic on stage, it’s no wonder they are selling out shows across the country.
