$What She\u2019s Having Anti-Valentine\u2019s Day Special$

Join us for an afternoon of anti-Valentine’s Day mayhem and frivolity.
Tired of mucking around, Canberra’s own alt‑country troublemakers What She’s Having are storming into the new year like a dust‑storm with intent, blood on their minds and a boot pressed to the throat of anything that reeks of pop‑country gloss. They move with the certainty of a band that’s dug its trenches, lit its fires, and decided that sentimentality is just another myth waiting to be unmade. Their latest target is the hollow‑chocolate heart of Valentine’s Day, and they’re arriving with shovels instead of roses — ready to exhume whatever truth still twitches beneath the ritual.
This is pissed Americana rendered in smoke and splinters: guitars that snarl like rusted wire in the wind, vocals steeped in pathos and gasoline, and an engine room pounding like a storm determined to rewrite the coastline.

Each song rises and flares like stained glass catching fire, each chorus a flare arcing across the night to remind the world that tenderness can bruise as easily as it heals. They leave smouldering wreckage behind them — collapsed illusions, cracked valentines, and anyone foolish enough to mistake their honesty for mercy.

What She’s Having aren’t here to soundtrack your candlelit dinner. They’re here to overturn the table, scatter the silverware like bones, and waltz through the ashes with the wild grace of a band that knows destruction can be its own kind of devotion. Turn away for a heartbeat and they’ll already be dismantling the next sacred cow, humming a tune that sounds suspiciously like liberation.

Valentine’s Day never saw them coming — but the earth will remember where they walked.
