STINGA is the South-East Asian Audio-visual outfit born during the 2023 Vietnam tour of the same name, featuring members of underground collectives CONTENT.NET.AU and stealthyn00b. Founded by visual artist and VJ Passive Kneeling, STINGA is produced by Kuya Neil and Nerdie (1300) and features BAYANG (tha Bushranger), lil ket, kk88, TT and Zeraph on vocals. STINGA LIVE will be the group’s first live performance in Sydney, celebrating the release of their first mixtape ‘Tour Diary ‘24’, which captures the raw, nostalgic energy of the 4 day AirBnb studio bender in Da Lat, Vietnam. Over 7 tracks, the group poured their hearts over 90s Filipino karaoke and rare Korean YouTube rips with nothing but a busted microphone, case of 333 beer and an assortment of Vietnamese cigarettes. Expect Bilingual bars over karaoke pan flutes and hard hitting retro drums, shaped by the sonic foundations of Vinahouse, Budots, K-pop, Juke, Jungle and Baile Funk. Supporting the group are hometown favourites Heart Armour a trio of longtime friends, bringing their hazy vocal sound, club-driven percussion and a lush synth ambience to the Vanguard’s stage. **OPEN KARAOKE AFTER LIVE MUSIC** STINGA will be running open karaoke featuring Kuya Neil's rare Sonken DVD karaoke machine, with live scoring and over 1000 songs in English, Filipino and Vietnamese! Come early and stay late! Listen to: 'STINGA - Tour Diary '24: Tape Vol 1' on Bandcamp! TICKETING INFO This is an 18+ event. Do not attend if you are feeling unwell.
