FRENZEE, LOTHARIO & ICE CLAW at Nighthawks

FRENZEE / LOTHARIO / ICE CLAW


Rage, weirdness, melody, sass and swing – all these elements fit within Frenzee's anarcho-punk style. Born in Melbourne and raised in Greece, the three siblings, Apollonia on vocals, Andonis on guitar, and Nick on drums, are well known as the new generation of the Xylouris musical family playing traditional music from the island of Crete. Only their outfit offers unapologetically scuddy noiserock with punk-informed insolence that presents as a near-literal frenzy. Fresh from a 3 week tour of the Australian east coast, this show is one of the last chances to see Frenzee perform live in Melbourne this visit. The trio will be returning home to Greece in early March where they are based and touring Europe for most of 2025.

Lothario is the visceral, razor-edged solo project of Melbourne's Annaliese Redlich, who creates punk anthems for the bored, horny, and reckless shows. Full band show featuring founding guitarist Billiam returning for a one-off show, along with Shauna from Cable Ties/Leatherman as well as Jay Power, Elsa Birrell and Al Hall.

Ice claw is a Melbourne based experimental, sensory inciting group. Their sonic exploration uses a multiplicity of instruments from guitars to electronics to vocal layering. Ice claw emphasises the unconscious process of composition that is behind their seemingly random works. Unfiltered in their references to impermanence, Ice claw reveal a matrix of illusion and disillusion.
