Critic Consensus
Based on 52 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Austra is rated as an enjoyable live performer, with some notable strengths. Austra concert reviews describe live shows and performances as raucous, haunting, masterful, commanding, emotional, theatrical, and droning.
Named for the Latvian goddess of light, Austra are an electronic band from Toronto, ON, Canada comprising Katie Stelmanis (principal songwriter), Maya Postepski, and Dorian Wolf. They debuted with the single "The Beat and the Pulse" (November 2010, One Big Silence), and their sophomore record, "Olympia", was released in June 2013 on Domino).
Given that the band are promoting a new album named Future Politics, which was described by them as a commitment to replace the approaching dystopia, some kind of statement on the atrocity might be expected.
Lead singer Katie Stelmanis’ mesmerising distinctive vocals are just as arresting live as they are on recording and combined with dreamy electronic riffs and pumping basslines Austra made their show at Sydney’s The Standard a night to remember.
