Heavy drones, distorted strings, haunted vocals, and atmospheric drums will echo through the basement of The Grace Darling next Friday, 20th June.
These five boundary pushing artists/ bands will guide us into the depths of sound—inviting gentle movement, introspection, and immersion, as we approach the longest night of the year, the Winter Solstice.
The basement will feature live performances from Techno 666, Alzheimer Blanks, Final Fantasy, Clove Flies and Elvis.

Coming up this Thursday ➡️ SIGHTINGS CH.2
‘𝑺𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔’ transforms the basement into a dynamic and immersive environment that blurs the lines between sound, vision, and interaction - showcasing Naarm-based experimental musicians and artists who are pushing the boundaries in their respective fields.
The second exhibition is dedicated to weeds. It functions as the findings from a 3 week long investigation into them - their spontaneity, resistance, functioning and growth. For the central element, the artist and curator walked from their homes towards each other, meeting halfway along the train track that connects them. The voyage was archived through the collection of soil, rubbish, plant matter and video documentation.
Chapter 2 of Sightings will feature live performances from:
✷ 𝑶𝑽 𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒏 • @ov_pain
✷ 𝑺𝒆𝒙 𝑪𝒐𝒑 • @massive_scratch
✷ 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒚 • @propheticjusticeministry
