As Above, So Below & Toploader presents: 6.6.(2)6 Fest
The sixth day, of the sixth month, of the two-thousandth and twenty-sixth year. It won’t get any more satanic than this for another decade (if we survive that long), so we’ve put together a massive SIX BAND mini-fest for the occasion.
6.6.26 is headlined by Head In A Jar. The sydney crossover/thrash band just released their 4th album Unbeliveable Violence.
They’re joined by Wollongong thrashers Nasty Insect, and an all-start local lineup of Phantom, Exsister, Bongfist, and Leshen.
666 SPECIAL OFFER: We are selling the first 6 tickets for just $6.66! Be quick!

THRASH METAL ON THE GREEN
After successfully infiltrating @carro.bowlo disguised as a member of the bar staff, our guitarist Kopy has secured us one whole hour of straight thrashing on the green so make sure to come out and hang.
We had the great pleasure of welcoming our old friend and former lead guitarist @joel.wilnierak to the stage at King Street on Friday night. After playing and writing together in the bands first five formative years, it felt like only yesterday that we’d played our last gig together.
