It’s Australia Day soon, which means it’s time to pledge your allegiance to this here great nation and all it stands for: scorching Christmas, the Hills Hoist, ‘how you goin’?', Vegemite, sickies, and the rest of it. On the 25th, this pledge extends to a stash of local bands, including Parades, Flying Foxes, The Devoted Few, Fait Accompli, Tennis, Warhorse, Richard In Your Mind and more. Australians, all let us rejoice. – VH
