honey revenge at amplifier bar / perth, WA

Perth pop-punk favourites Belgravia opened the night with an energy that was instantly infectious. It was their first time supporting an international act, but the band carried themselves with the confidence of seasoned headliners.

Frontman Jordan Paul’s powerful vocals cut through the mix with ease, driving fan favourites like Inhale, In Hell, Slim Chances, and Mourning After. Each chorus hit hard, with fans shouting every word and breaking into mosh pits during the band’s biggest hooks.

Between songs, Belgravia’s trademark cheeky banter kept the crowd laughing, matching their high-energy sound with the kind of personality that makes them so easy to love. Their loyal local following turned up in force, filling the room with noise and movement from the first note to the last.

It was a milestone moment for Belgravia, a night that proved why they’ve become one of Perth’s most beloved live bands, and a sign they’re more than ready for bigger stages.

Chez opened the night with confidence, charm, and a sound that felt bigger than the room. Blending sharp alt-pop edges with 2000s-inspired R&B flair, she immediately drew the crowd in, poised but completely unfiltered. There’s a certain magnetism to Chez on stage: part vulnerability, part defiance, and all authenticity.

Tracks like LIAR LIAR, honeY, and ur not invited showed her knack for pairing self-aware lyrics with hook-heavy choruses. Between songs, she flashed that easy, honest grin she’s known for, equal parts sass and sincerity, while the crowd leaned closer with every beat. Her take on Toxic was pure confidence, reimagined through her own lens of strength and self-worth.

Rooted in honesty and experience, Chez’s live set captures the tension she writes about — that space between empowerment and vulnerability. The vocals hit hard, the production was clean, and the performance carried the kind of polish that only comes from an artist who knows exactly who she is. By the time FRIENDS closed the set, the room was completely hers.

Amplifier Bar does chaos well, and Honey Revenge leaned straight into it. Kicking off with cuts from Retrovision, the room snapped to attention — big hooks, sharp melodies, and that glossy pop-rock punch they’ve been fine-tuning all year. “Seeing Negative (Disappointment)” into “Recipe for Disaster” and “Rerun” had the floor moving early, and it hardly let up from there.

Frontperson Devin Papadol owned the spotlight, all charisma and precision vocals, while Donovan Lloyd kept the riffs tight and bright. Between choruses, the band worked the crowd with easy confidence, no dead air, just momentum. The middle stretch brought fan favourites “Medicine,” “Worst Apology,” and “Sensitive,” before a neat left turn with “Risk,” a fresh, hook-heavy addition that landed like it’s been in the set for years.

By the time “Distracted,” “Murphy’s Law,” and “Favorite Song” rolled through, it felt like the whole room knew every chorus. “Habitual” closed with a final sing-back, the kind of pop-punk catharsis that turns a club show into a memory.

Nights like this don’t last long — not because they fade, but because bands this sharp don’t stay small. Honey Revenge have outgrown tiny stages like Amplifier Bar, and it won’t be long before they’re headlining bigger rooms and festivals. Catch them now while you still can, because the climb from here is going to be fast.
