These Gigahertz presents gigs are an awesome idea. The Pushworth Group (in conjunction with The Sands Tavern) put on a show with 5 bands and charge little or nothing for punters to get in, and in turn promoting local music.

What was to be a five-band line-up diminished to four bands on the night, with opener Zenith Thomas pulling out of the show (don't know why), so the night kicked off with Adonis.

These guys have improved immensely since I last saw them (easily six months or more ago) but it was a shame to hear them cut short due to lead singer Zaar not feeling the best. That said, she did well to get through the performance and only heard one or two bung notes (which can happen to the best of us). Time has been kind to the band with them gelling well on stage now, with their progressive, almost grungey tunes.

Next up was duo, World's Fastest. Sighting influences like Arctic Monkeys, these guys take a more simplistic angle to rock. From the looks of things, this gig could have been one of their first shows (they've obviously at least done two shows before), and with time these guys do have the potential to be an Alt/Rock version of another famous drum & guitar duo from the Sunshine Coast (I'm talking Blackwaaaater).

Brisbane's Chamberland were due to hit the stage next, but the absence of their drummer was setting the band back (he was running late), so to prevent a 30 minute delay, Technical Symplicity moved into the slot to keep things rolling. The boys took things up a notch and presented a pretty damn energetic performance (they were treating it as a warm-up to next week's support with Dead Letter Circus and Sydonia). Testing out some reworked songs, plus adding some favourites, they never leave the crowd disappointed, as seen from the amount of singing done by the crowd during songs like Eye for an Eye and White Rose Wednesday.

Chamberland capped off the night, but unfortunately played to a lesser crowd with most punters not sticking around to witness this awesome band from Brisbane. Regardless, these guys delivered an ultra-tight, punchy set of their 90's tinged hard rock, giving some nods to Stone Temple Pilots and Alice In Chains along the way. Hopefully, the next time these guys come up, people will stick around to witness one of Brisbane's more solid and consistant bands.
