SPEED are one of the country’s great live acts, with their recent Adelaide show receiving a glowing review from The Note writer Will Oakeshott.

“This presentation was one that incorporated more emotional connection, more appreciation, more devotion and more dedicated hysteria,” Oakeshott wrote. “Under the ceiling of the Lion Arts Factory, SPEED celebrated friendship in an impeccable ‘modus operandi’ – they gave it everything.”

Catch SPEED at Lion Arts Factory on Thursday, August 1. For ticketing information, visit linktr.ee/gangcalledspeedaus.
