The Snug is pleased to welcome Poor Effort to Atherton for a headline show this August, joined by special guests Test Card Girl and Mock Burial.

Blending atmospheric alternative rock with introspective songwriting and powerful live performances, Poor Effort have quickly built a reputation for creating immersive, emotionally charged shows. Their music balances quiet intensity with explosive moments, making them one of the most exciting emerging acts on the circuit.

Opening the evening are Test Card Girl, bringing their own distinctive sound and setting the tone for a night celebrating original grassroots music.
