Less than two weeks until Battle of the Tech Bands Sydney — and ShipReX are on their way.

This is the performance that won them the Brisbane 2026 trophy: @rex_software and @urbanx.io taking on Foo Fighters' "Everlong" at The Triffid. Full pirate gear, an erhu in the line-up, and the trophy at the end of the night.

They join us in Sydney as special guests — Thursday 8 October, Manning Bar, alongside bands from Atlassian, Canva, Amazon and V2 AI. Tickets at battleofthetechbands.com

Off the Record — For The Record's house band — play Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" live at Battle of the Tech Bands Brisbane 2026, The Triffid.

Off the Record have two lead singers and this one is Fay's. She was nervous about taking on a Celine Dion power ballad in front of a room that full, and she killed it.

🚨 SYDNEY BAND ANNOUNCEMENT: BANDLASSIAN 🚨

Bandlassian from @atlassian are back for another year of Battle of the Tech Bands Sydney.

Last year they brought the biggest crew of the night to the stage, won the crowd vote, and kicked things off by doubling down on Toto.

Big sing-alongs, big energy and plenty of feel-good nostalgia. They know how to work a room, and we expect they’ll get the Manning Bar crowd behind them this year.

We’re very keen to see what they bring this year. 🎸

🚨 SYDNEY BAND ANNOUNCEMENT: AMAKAZAAM 🚨

Last year they took the stage as Jamazon. This year, the @amazonaustralia crew are back with a new name: Amakazaam.

They delivered one of the standout sets of the night last year, bringing plenty of flair to the stage with backdrops, props and a performance that went well beyond just the music.

With a new name and a reputation to live up to, we’re very keen to see what Amakazaam has planned for Manning Bar this year. ✨🎸
