Iceage

Overview

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the Australian music scene is experiencing an insane infatuation with Danish rockers Iceage. They hit our shores at the end of last year, and were welcomed with sold out shows and huge online hype. Now, Iceage are coming back to Australia for another tour, with the Brisbane leg staged at the uncannily intimate venue of Alhambra Lounge.

Alongside the legitimate greatness of their music, Iceage’s following may have grown to this cult-like status from the reputation of their live performances. Sure, their tunes are the products of musical wunderkinds, but the rage and emotion they pour into their live gigs is exuberant and vigorous to the point of intimidating. They mesh razor-sharp guitar sounds with lolloping, synchronised rhythms, all with dashes of piano, mandolin, viola and organ. There's some serious talent surrounding these fellas, which you can check out live this Thursday.

Supported by local bands Thee Hugs, CLEVER and Unpeople.
