Big Dead live in New Farm

Experience Big Dead live on July 5th

Big Dead, a Brisbane-based band, will be performing at The Junk Bar in New Farm, Australia on July 5th, 2026. The group is known for a distinctive sound blending elements of post-punk, noise rock, and garage rock, often characterized by driving rhythms, angular guitar work and intense vocal delivery. They have gained recognition within the Australian independent music scene since forming in 2018, releasing several EPs and a full-length album to critical acclaim.

The Junk Bar is a long-standing fixture of New Farm’s nightlife, operating as a small, intimate venue with a deliberately unpolished aesthetic. Established in 1998, it has historically focused on supporting local and emerging artists across diverse genres – particularly those falling outside mainstream appeal. The bar's interior is noted for its eclectic collection of vintage furniture and repurposed objects creating a somewhat chaotic but welcoming atmosphere. It's known for prioritizing live music over elaborate production values and fostering a community-focused environment. The venue regularly hosts performances spanning punk, rockabilly, blues and experimental music styles. It maintains a relatively low profile despite its consistent presence within Brisbane’s live music landscape.
