Mon 24 Jan – Tool, Jakob
Despite taking to the stage to the sound of awkward silence, it doesn’t take long for New Zealand’s Jakob to win over the Brisbane crowd with their brand of instrumental post-rock. With a massive level of noise being pushed out by the three piece, the combination of heavy riffing and breathtaking soundscapes is instantly addictive, and the Kiwi trio have certainly won over a huge amount of fans tonight.
