BANDS

ZCLUSTER

Freshly returned from Dark Mofo and supporting Health in Sydney, ZCluster will be bringing their writhing heavy grooves and intense live performances to the Whole Lotta Love Bar, smashing out tunes from their latest full length album, "The Rapture".

"ZCluster have forged a reputation as Sydney's most prominent purveyor of Industrial music. Their enigmatic live performances are equal parts brutal and seductive, memorable and passionate." – Nowhere Now Records
"powerful, melancholy, full of yearning, and on top of all that, it sounds pretty badass" – Isserley
