The Black Cardinals were next up. The crowd was moved towards the stage as they were serenaded by the gothic southern blues sound of their hit song Love on the Rise. The Black Cardinals presented a fun, biting, rock anthem set.

Next up were Molly and the Krells who brought the crowd their killer angsty punk-rock sound reminiscent of the trending early 2000s punk that has been brought back into the mainstream. Molly and the Krells delivered heavy drums, guitars and some amazing guitar licks to the stage. They really proved that Rock n Roll is alive and well.

Dead City Ruins welcomed the crowd and re-ignited the fire under our metal horns and left the crowd in a roaring screaming mess. We got grinding guitar riffs, powerful vocal ranges and mad bass that rattled our core. If you haven’t seen Dead City Ruins live you're missing out.

Next up was Frankie’s World Famous House Band. After seeing them at Frankie's Pizza it was definitely shocking to my system to see them performing live on stage but honestly, they never looked more at home. The audience was screaming and cheering the whole time as they delivered a fantastic set.

End of Fashion played there set in a way that made it feel very intimate which was only confirmed when the lead singer Justin mentioned how it felt they were playing in someone’s living room. The set was fast paced, intense and exciting as we rocked out to their grunge hard rock.

I Built the Sky built a ground under our moshing feet as the band from Melbourne brought the sky down. If you are a fan of progressive and instrumental rock and metal music you have to check these guys out live on stage.

28 Days are a fast, knotty punk rock band with its roots firmly in the Victoria scene.
They gave the audience a moment to reflect, as they tributed a song from their first album to the place where it all started, Frankston in Victoria, where the band was formed.

The Getaway Plan got screams from the thundering crowd when they played ‘Reckoning’ and ‘Landscapes’. Their razor sharp guitar really cut through the crowd with precision. Not a lot of bands can pull off a live show, except The Getaway Plan did.

Tex Perkins was a highlight of the day. During his song ‘Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky’ a conga line formed in the mosh pit. It certainly was not expected but it was the coolest thing we have seen at Uncaged.
