INAUGURAL is a Sydney dark-wave duo creating music that feels more like a transmission than a statement. Their sound lives in the space between industrial electronics and post-punk tension, shaped by atmosphere, restraint and moments that quietly spiral out of control. Songs unfold with a sense of unease and dark humour, hinting at authority, obsession and self-reflection without ever spelling things out.
The project has developed a reputation for immersive live sets that favour mood over spectacle. Lighting, pacing and sound work together to create a space that feels deliberate and slightly off-centre, where silence carries as much weight as noise.
On March 20, INAUGURAL headline Low 302 to launch their six-track EP STONE TAPES VOL. 1, released February 19. The EP plays like a collection of fractured recordings, recurring ideas reappearing in altered forms, fragments that feel ritualistic without naming the ritual. It leaves room for interpretation and resists tidy resolution.
This show is an invitation into that world. Expect tension, atmosphere and moments of uneasy clarity, with just enough bleak humour to remind you that there's still humanity underneath the machinery.
