The Tezz Fest | Factory Theatre - 6th November | The Terrys, Loons & Red Revel

Nov 10

There was no better feeling than stepping into the Factory Theatre on a Friday night after 8 months of not attending any gigs. It’s funny how something like this can make us realise how much we take for granted, especially when it comes to live music. That being said – I’m sure that everyone are becoming more excited that live music is slowly coming back, and what better way to enjoy that by attending The Tezz Fest which was a sold out show at the Factory Theatre on Friday 6th November.

The first band that rocked the stage were none other than Sydney funk band Red Revel.

The four-piece slayed their set as they played some of the catchiest tracks that I’ve ever heard. They filled the whole room with the sweet sounds of funky guitar, loud and groovy bass lines, steady drum beats and a wicked good sax that had everyone grooving in their seats.

The vibes that this band radiated were incredible and definitely a great start to the night.

Next up, we had the lovely Newcastle band Loons, who I was very excited to finally see and I certainly was not disappointed.

These boys had great stage presence that was enough to hook you in from the start of their set. Not only were their songs amazing but their ability to throw so much energy out into the room is incredible.

Their whole set was solid as they played through their songs with so much power and you could tell that it was engaging the audience as I could see them bopping around in their seats and chanting “one more song” by the end of the performance.

The performance by The Terrys was unbelievable if I had to give you one word to describe it.

The seats up the front of the venue were all full as everyone anticipated the band to take the stage, and when they did, I saw so much joy on everyone’s face. The vibes from this band were beyond belief.

Every single person in that audience were honestly just vibing in their seats to the fantastic sounds of the instruments. All the songs that were played throughout the set were strong and not to mention, groovy as fuck.

I also loved how well these guys interacted with their crowd- they were funny and killed it with every song.

Coming back to gigs, I never thought that seated events would have good energy or be fun, but I was definitely proved wrong as the crowd grooved along while seated and shouted lyrics back to the band. What a fantastic night.
