[DID NOT ATTEND: May 16, 2025] Amyl and the Sniffers / Sheer Mag

On paper Amyl and the Sniffers is exactly the kind of band I’d like.  A weirdo Australian rock band fronted by a wild woman.  But there’s something about them that I just don’t like.

I saw them open for King Gizzard in 2018 and they were pretty fun.  They do have a simple fun bratty punk sound.  And I usually like that.  But for whatever reason I don’t really like them.  Oh well.

I’ve seen Sheer Mag open for so many bands.  I liked them but I’m a bit tired of them at this point.

So this was a big no no for me.

[ATTENDED: June 18, 2018] Amyl and the Sniffers

I had never heard of Melbourne’s Amyl and the Sniffers before this show.

From their name, it’s pretty obvious what the band is all about.  They’re a four-piece, bass, guitar, drums and Amyl up front.  They play short, fast, loud rockers.  On their bandcamp site they have released ten songs totalling about twenty minutes.

And they were pretty fun.

This song shows their garage rock sensibility.

Amyl is an enjoyable frontwoman.  I think we were taken more with her thick Melbourne accent than any words she may have been saying. (more…)
