Eora based post-punk band Stirr makes their Naarm debut at The Retreat Hotel joined by The Halves and Tameem.
Stirr weaves swirling saxophone, melodic bass lines, and inventive sound design into a strain of post-punk that nods to Pitchfork-era favourites such as Preoccupations and Protomartyr. After quickly building a dedicated following throughout Sydney, Stirr are excited to make their live debut in Melbourne.
With support from The Halves, a Naarm band rooted in emotion and unwavering intensity, lending elements of post-punk and alternative. As well as emerging independent artist Tameem, who utilises his skills in production, saxophone, flute, piano, and vocals to build a sonic plane of atmospheric and ambient alt R&B.
This is a free-entry event. Presented by Upstairs Neighbour & Nowhere Group.
