Northlane at Racehorse Hotel
Hear Northlane in Ipswich. Mesmer, Northlane’s beautiful new album, represents both sides of the equation. The band’s most organic yet precise album to date, it covers familiar topics but renders them in a new way, at once paying heed to the band’s heaviest roots and looking forward to an unwritten future. It is the fullest and most accurate expression yet of who Marcus Bridge (vocals), Jonathon Deiley (guitar), Josh Smith (guitar), Alexi Milovic (bass) and Nic Pettersen (drums) really are.
WHEN: 8pm-11pm
WHERE: 215 Brisbane Road, Booval
