When it comes to live music in Albany, Dig The Dust aren’t just another name on the lineup they’re part of the fabric of the local scene.
On Friday 20 March, Dig The Dust return to the Goldroom at Six Degrees Albany for another high-energy night built on rock anthems, nostalgic throwbacks and a dancefloor that never stays empty for long.
From 8:30pm, Six Degrees becomes an 18+ ONLY venue and that’s when the real momentum kicks in.
Who Are Dig The Dust?
Dig The Dust are one of Albany’s most established and recognisable local bands. Over the years, they’ve built a fiercely loyal following across the Great Southern region of Western Australia, becoming a go-to act for packed Friday nights, milestone events and community celebrations.
As a three-piece, they deliver a surprisingly massive sound. Tight rhythm section, driving guitars and confident vocals combine to create something that feels much bigger than the number of musicians on stage.
Their longevity speaks volumes. In a regional music scene where trends come and go, Dig The Dust have remained consistent evolving their setlists, refining their performance and strengthening their connection with local audiences.
They aren’t just a cover band.
They’re a live experience.
The Sound of Dig The Dust
What makes Dig The Dust work so well in a live setting is their versatility.
Their sets move seamlessly through:
- 70’s rock classics
- 80’s reimagined hits
- 90’s rock anthems
- Aussie pub favourites
- 00’s and 10’s pop hits
- Funk grooves
- Disco-infused crowd-pleasers
It’s a carefully balanced mix of nostalgia and energy. Every few songs hit a different generation but the energy never dips.
You might come for one era, but you’ll end up singing along to all of it.
Their ability to read a room is one of their strongest assets. They know when to lift the tempo, when to lean into a singalong moment, and when to drop a familiar anthem that brings everyone together.
A Loyal Albany Following
Dig The Dust have something many bands spend years trying to build: a dependable, enthusiastic crowd.
When they’re scheduled at Six Degrees, word spreads fast. Regulars plan ahead. Friend groups lock it into their calendars. The Goldroom fills early.
Their fanbase isn’t accidental it’s the result of:
- Years of consistent live performances
- High-energy stage presence
- Reliable, crowd-driven setlists
- A genuine connection with the local community
They’ve become part of Albany’s weekend rhythm the band people mention when someone asks, “What’s on this Friday?”
The Goldroom & The Energy Shift
There’s something about the Goldroom at Six Degrees that amplifies a Dig The Dust performance.
The room feels close enough for crowd interaction but large enough to carry that stadium-feel energy they’re known for. Once the first few songs land, the dynamic shifts. Conversations fade. The dancefloor grows. Drinks are set aside.
Momentum builds quickly and it rarely drops.
From 8:30pm, when Six Degrees transitions to 18+ only, the atmosphere shifts fully into night-mode. That’s when Dig The Dust hit their stride.
More Than Background Music
Dig The Dust don’t play background sets. They play nights that people remember.
Their shows tend to follow a pattern:
First set warm-up energy.
Second set packed floor.
Final stretch full crowd engagement, arms up, voices loud.
It’s not complicated. It’s just well-delivered live music, played by musicians who understand how to hold a room.
That’s why they continue to return and why the crowd continues to show up.
