Mariana’s Trench brought their electrifying energy and signature theatricality to Melbourne’s 170 Russell on Sunday as part of their Forces of Nature Tour, promoting their latest album, Haven. Despite the absence of bassist Mike Ayley, due an unexpected visit to the emergency room, the band seamlessly carried the show, using Mike’s bass and vocal tracks recorded during their previous performances just two nights ago.
