Eight years is a long time between Australian tours, but The Cribs are finally back in Sydney. Tonight the Factory Theatre belongs to Gary, Ryan and Ross Jarman, three brothers from Wakefield who have spent more than two decades making indie rock that has always sounded better with the edges left rough. The night starts closer to home. Hawkesbury singer-songwriter Jean Elliot brings indie-folk and alt-country into the room. Newcastle trio Trophy Wyfe won triple j’s Unearthed High competition this year, and are still at the beginning of their story, but there is already plenty of confidence in the way Rex Wardle, Tallis Kessell and Neve Scully occupy the stage.
