sly withers at the astor theatre / perth, wa

When Sly Withers stepped on stage to open for Kisschasy, it was immediately clear they weren’t just another support act. A quick glance around the room revealed plenty of fans already wearing Sly Withers shirts, singing along before the first chorus even hit.

The Perth locals played like a band completely at home, blending their trademark mix of driving guitars and emotionally charged lyricism with tight, confident delivery. Songs like “Closer”, “Cracks”, and “Restless” hit hard, their punchy choruses carrying across a room already half-won from the start.

The fans that crowded the front of the barriers was loud, loyal, and fully present, proving that Sly Withers aren’t just a Perth favourite anymore, they’re fast becoming one of Australia’s most compelling live bands.
