As A Rival – Winter Headline Show

Winter is here, and we're bringing the noise back to Creatures of Habit.

After spending the past year rebuilding, writing, and reconnecting with audiences, As A Rival return for a special hometown headline show. Expect soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and the kind of emotional, high-energy live performance that has become the band's trademark. Whether you've been with us for years or this is your first time seeing the band, we'd love to have you there as we celebrate the next chapter together.

Joining us are Fellview, a radical leftist queercore trio whose songs span a whole gamut of sounds, emotions and messages. Their music moves effortlessly from twinkling Midwest emo arpeggios and post-rock noise walls to blistering hardcore riffs, making them one of Melbourne's most exciting live acts.

Also joining the lineup is Aussie indie-punk sweetheart Elkie Kershaw, blending quirky energy with fun and meaningful hits. Burdened and blessed by a never-ending emo phase, her melancholy yet sincere lyrics explore the universal trials and tribulations of existence. Combining dry humour, grungy guitars and infectious hooks, Elkie delivers a powerful sonic blend that's equal parts cathartic, heartfelt and unforgettable.

Come celebrate live music, community, and a room full of people who love loud guitars as much as we do.

The Only Way Out Is Together.
