Ruination Album Tour - Gold Coast
Maryborough alt-rock trio Ruination are bringing their explosive new record Everything Eventually to the Gold Coast. Released via Golden Robot Records, this debut album is eleven tracks of raw emotion and melodic heaviness, music made to be felt live. The band's new single "Downward", premiered on HEAVY Mag, sets the tone: confronting loss, finding strength, and pushing forward with intensity. Expect huge riffs, surging dynamics, and a performance that hits hard from the first chord to the last crash. This moment is for anyone who's ever loved heavy, honest, soul-shaking rock. If you've been craving that wall-of-sound energy, this show will deliver it in full. Head 1$t lead with a fierce mix of punk and metal chaos, channeling raw mosh-pit energy into their own explosive sound. They'll be joined by Tomohung, bringing a riot of skate-punk-meets-metal mayhem — fast, fun, and impossible not to move to. Veratie return with their signature alt-rock/nu-metal hybrid, weaving melodic and rap vocals through a storm of synths, riffs, and rhythm. Fans of Tool, Silverchair, and Alice In Chains this one's for you.

Carly Electric at Burleigh Town Hotel
Carly Electric has sold out sessions of her wild, true debut comedy show in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney – adding shows to meet demand at Adelaide and Sydney Fringe Festivals. The comedian, podcaster and high-end escort's hilariously unapologetic, audaciously unfiltered and decidedly unsexy show takes you behind the scenes of Carly's life – unpacking her inbox to share the most bizarre, and frankly sometimes grotesque of the requests she receives. You'll find yourself laughing at things you probably shouldn't and cringing at things you definitely should as Carly shares true tales of her life and career as a high-end, multi award-winning* escort. There is no holding Carly back as shares cautionary tales from a world most people only dream about—or try not to think about at all. Diving into eye-opening experiences that defy belief, and revealing some uncomfortable truths about the sex industry, this show is not for the faint of heart… or stomach. Prepare to have your perceptions shattered and your boundaries hilariously tested. *though perhaps not the usual awards you'd see on a comedy listing..
