Inner-west punters should prepare to get well and truly cleaned-up and checked for concussion when five of Melbourne’s toughest and hardest bands take over Footscray this Australia Day weekend.
Headlined by the appropriately named, Clotheslined, the night of ferocious, no-frills rock takes place at Mama Chens on Saturday 24 January.
Renowned for blistering live shows, metallic hardcore lords, Clotheslined, top the five-band bill, and if the four bands coming before don’t knock you out, the Melbourne four-piece surely will.
Helping them to kick-off the long-weekend will be local young guns Blackbird, who’ll be keen to demonstrate why their considered one of the best early-2000’s metalcore revival bands around.
If hardcore punk is more your go, Lockjaw, will have you covered with tracks from the recent self-titled demo.
Local bands also get a look in, with Footscray’s own, Knifepoint, bringing their heavily New York influenced hardcore to the inner-west.
And opening the night with a thump will be the so-called ‘westside beatdown crew’ Destroyed, with pit-inducing tracks such as their current single ‘Gambler.’
Don’t be fooled by the name though. The local four-piece sound nothing like Kenny Rogers.
The mayhem begins at 7pm and entry is free.
Mama Chens is located at 42 Albert Street, Footscray.
