Mankind is the embodiment of human degeneration in image, sound and persona; represented by industrial sounds coupled with powerful Gothic post-punk. The group consists of Dan on bass and vocals and Connor on percussion. Dan's highly effected bass creates catchy melodic bass lines coupled with Connors rhythmic tom patterns and funk inspired big beats. To finish Dan's 3 octave vocal range and lyrics of dark analysis of everday life complete a truly hypnotic Gothic pop sound. The bands live energy is phenomenal and despite being a two piece they easily fill any stage area.

Formed in the autumn of 2015, The Venus Figurines are a four-piece alternative rock outfit hailing from nipaluna/Hobart, lutruwita/Tasmania. 

Expanding upon the contemporaries of their alt-rock roots, they showcase a diverse, densely layered, guitar-heavy and bass-driven sound, borrowing elements from classic rock, heavy metal, prog-rock, shoegaze, and in their formative years, pop punk. 

Daniels is the group's primary songwriter and lyricist. He draws inspiration from real-life situations and personal experiences which often accumulate in dynamic harmonies and juxtaposing musical concepts. 

Some notable influences are The Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Dinosaur Pile-Up and The Dirty Nil. 

On stage, they are cited for their highly energetic performances, camaraderie, and versatile blends of sounds consisting of powerful screams, melodic guitars, dynamic grooving drums, and chunky distorted bass hooks. 

2017 saw the release of their debut EP, In Transit, to significant airplay from community radio stations across the globe. In 2022, they released their debut LP, First Stop, a cohesive and genre-bending effort pushing the extremes of their vulnerabilities and confidences.

Their sophomore album, Modern Paradigm, released in 2023 to glowing reviews from global publications. The record is a culmination of experimenting with new sounds and unconventional song structures to expand their musical prowess.
