Photo Gallery: Drop City + The Earthmen + Belles Will Ring – Factory Theatre, Sydney (13.09.25)

This weekend saw legendary Sydney band Drop City play Sydney’s Factory Theatre to mark the 30th Anniversary of their seminal 1995 release Magic Transistor Radio.

From the moment the first chords rang out, the crowd was transported back to the 90s psychedelia sounds from Drop City. The guitars shimmered with reverb-soaked textures, layered against a tight rhythm section that kept everything pulsing forward. Frontman Matt Tow guided the set with laid-back charisma and his vocals. Highlights included, “The Girl With The Sun In Her Eyes”, “Setting Sun” and “Apple Tree”.

Support on the evening came from Melbourne’s The Earthmen, who brought their jangly guitars and melodic warmth that sounded wonderful, and the brilliant Belles Will Ring from the Blue Mountains with their indie psych lush soundscapes.

Pete Dovgan was there to capture the night:
