My review:
- Fantastic songs
- An awesome Pink Floyd cover (to perfection, actually)
- A band that never puts in a half effort. Real crowd pleasers!
- Try to move around a little more (even on a small stage) and bring out your full energy
- Introduce each song (please) so we can search them all after the gig

Western Sydney locals The Shang are the number one band to grab if you want to get a room pumping. Their alternative rock sound has given this four-piece a large (and well deserved) following. Resulting in them packing out festival performances and local Western Sydney venues, as well as playing a handful of inner city gigs to large audiences (too).
I’d definitely recommend going to see The Shang at a show soon! e.g. like the Jazmaree gig this Sunday at the Record Crate in Glebe @ 7pm (I’d be getting there early to grab a ticket too BTW!). Bloody solid show ‘Shang’ers. Had a blast. See you on Sunday!!
