NSC is turning 20 and we’re throwing one helluva party!
To celebrate two decades, we’re rolling out 20 Gigs for 20 Years — a huge birthday series running through July and August, stacked with some of our all-time favourites.
A band that’s been steadily building buzz with their genre-defying sound and high-energy, Gut Health are no strangers to our stage — having previously supported legends like Pinch Points and These New South Whales. Now they’re stepping into the spotlight for a show of their own — and this time, it’s an all-ages matinee. With a fanbase that spans generations, Gut Health bring the kind of infectious energy that resonates across the board. From the front row to the back wall, this one’s for everyone.
Gut Health are a six-piece ensemble from Naarm / Melbourne who have carved out a sound that blurs the boundaries between hypnotic dance-punk, no-wave and chaotic noise since their arrival in 2022.
They have toured with Primal Scream, Queens of the Stone Age and Hiatus Kaiyote, showcased at The Great Escape and SXSW Sydney, twice toured Europe, and have received significant airplay on KEXP, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, triple j, Double j, RRR and more. They have also been featured across NME, Rolling Stone, The Needle Drop, The Line of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, Far Out Magazine, Wonderland and Guitar World, along with plenty more mastheads, playlist ads, cover features and music television spots.
Gut Health’s expression of the healing qualities of consensual rage and their unadulterated demonstration of sonic shapeshifting, lingering tension and auditory ambition give the band its magnetic edge. Songs flicker between atonality and melodicism, while unpredictably snaking and expanding into engulfing, kaleidoscopic soundscapes, reinforced by a grooveheavy rhythm section that champions the diverse musical backgrounds of each player – spanning punk to jazz to sound design and beyond.
Gut Health’s 2022 debut EP, Electric Party Chrome Girl (EPCG), self-recorded in a storage facility in the heart of Brunswick, marked an experimental venture into defining the band’s fast-developing sound. Initially intended as demos, the tracks evolved into a standalone work, released locally via Marthouse Records.
Their debut full-length offering Stiletto arrived in late 2024. Out via Highly Contagious and AWAL Recordings, Gut Health’s debut is an immersive ten-track foray into dancefloor-inducing soundscapes and punchy prowess, with songs oscillating between infectious up-tempo numbers, hypnotic bliss and chaotic noise edging precariously toward collapse. Indeed, the central elements of Gut Health’s music – chaotic verses juxtaposed with danceable rhythms and melodicism remain – but Stiletto encapsulates a vaster sense of depth and dimension.
Come raise a glass and help us celebrate 20 years of great gigs and good yarns at NSC — we wouldn’t want to do it without you!
Plus, snag a ticket to one of our birthday series shows and you could win a double gig pass, pub voucher & merch!
Our show is being held on the lands of the Wurundjeri People and we wish to acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners of this land we are gathered on. We also pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities that may join us for our show.
THIS SHOW IS STRICTLY 18+
