Announcing NICEFEST 2018: a showcase of progressive music from the Australian underground in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
“We want to provide a platform for bands who are doing something different,” says Art As Catharsis label manager Lachlan Dale.
“We don’t care if the style is experimental pop, acoustic folk, Persian classical or progressive metal. It’s about the attitude and the approach of the artist: are they trying new things? Creating new forms? Pushing boundaries?”
Come along with an open mind and discover some of the brilliant diversity of Australian underground music.
