Live Review & Gallery: Molchat Doma, Buzz Kull Bring Coldwave to Enmore Theatre – Gadigal Land/Sydney, 18.12.25

When Molchat Doma followed, they scaled their coldwave pulse to theatre size without losing intimacy, transforming the room into something closer to a gothic club night than a concert, all stark lines, strobe-lit movement and immersive atmosphere.
