Spike F\*ck is a rare figure in contemporary music: direct, disarming, and impossible to pin down. Emerging from Melbourne’s underground in the late 2010s with The Smackwave EP, Spike fused bleak synth-pop, post-punk melodrama, and brutally honest songwriting into something both vulnerable and confrontational. Armed with only a backing track and a microphone, early live shows saw Spike sing candidly about addiction, gender, dysfunctional love, and collapse: a kind of wounded sincerity that quickly drew a cult following. Just as things seemed to be breaking open, Spike disappeared, retreating from public life amid a personal reckoning. After a four-year hiatus -- during which time rumours swirled about death, institutions, or becoming a monk -- Spike returned sober, clear-eyed, and transformed. Live from Underground is the first document of this rebirth: a live album recorded to tapeafter a run of sold out comeback shows. Spike is no longer alone with a backing track, but fronting a rotating full band. Together they channel ’70s glam, spiritual soul, and damaged rock’n’roll; always refracted through Spike’s unmistakable, bruised, and poetic voice. The beloved, reimagined songs reckon with grief, faith, and survival, and bloom into moments of collective joy, where Spike’s past solitude gives way to harmony. For an artist once mythologised by absence, this live album captures the exhilaration of togetherness. $15 adv $18 dos All sales final after 24 hours Presented by Oblivion. This is a 21+ event.
