Eora/Sydney-based punk rock quintet FANGZ have just unveiled their new show ‘The Night Show with Cottreau’ – shot and directed by Rhys Bennett (DZ Deathrays,
‘The Night Show with Cottreau’ is a take on how the media often gives the wrong people a platform. Whether it’s reality stars, criminals, or athletes, they’re handed the mic to share opinions or sell products. By doing that, the media not only amplifies them but makes them seem relatable, even likable, just because they’re entertaining. It’s a look at how easily narratives can be controlled, and it leaves you unsure of what to believe.
Host Josh Cottreau describes the motivation behind the show: “The Night Show with Cottreau isn’t just a talk show—it’s the blueprint for what late-night should be. Think David Letterman, but smarter. Jerry Springer, but classier. It’s not just better; it’s necessary. Late-night needs saving, and I’m the guy to do it.”
FANGZstock’s return was recently announced as an interstate tour, joined by Mountain Wizard DeathCult across all shows. The first stop will be Meanjin/Brisbane, with local acts Something SomethingExplosion, BOOF HEADS, Joy In Motion and Boys at the Back. Following this, both acts will perform at Naarm/Melbourne with locals Raging Hormones, Arabella and The Heist, Damaged Goods Club and Dear Matilda. FANGZstock will finish in FANGZ’s hometown Eora/Sydney, joined by Bare Bones, Dedpan, Creep Features and Second Idol. Along with the shows, the event will also include a Hot DogEating Contest, Unlucky Door Prize and Kissing Booth.
Wrapping up 2024, the quintet has recently completed a run of headline shows and national tours with The Bennies and Cancer Bats (CAN), and performed at Froth & Fury in Tandanya/Adelaide, alongside the likes of Northlane, Thy Art Is Murder and Fear Factory (USA).
Off the back of releasing ‘Wasting Time’ and ‘Nothing To Lose’, latest single ‘Wide Awake’ has received strong support from the likes of triple j, triple j Unearthed, Apple Music, Rolling Stone Magazine (AUS), The Music, The AU Review and many more.
The group have also launched their very own line of hot sauce ‘Fang us Some Sauce’, an annually curated festival ‘FANGZstock’, and hold the Guinness world record for the most hard-boiled eggs eaten in one sitting by front man Josh Cottreau (143 eggs in three minutes and ten seconds).
‘Wide Awake’ is available worldwide now

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
