The Stiffz Biography
Sydney’s own The Stiffz are a powerhouse cover band delivering the ultimate night out for lovers of classic Aussie pub rock and timeless international hits. With a reputation for high-energy performances, soaring vocals, and a groove that keeps dancefloors full, The Stiffz turn every gig into a party where the crowd sings as loud as the band.
Their setlist is a celebration of rock history, mixing the best of homegrown legends like The Sunnyboys, The Angels, Icehouse, Midnight Oil, and Mental As Anything with global favourites from The Doors, The Dandy Warhols, The Black Keys, P!NK, Coldplay, The Killers, and more. Known for their semi-faithful but always electrifying renditions, The Stiffz don’t just play the songs you love — they make you feel them.
Fronted by the charismatic lead vocalist Kate Hervey and noted for her dynamic stage presence, the band thrives on audience connection. Their shows are sweat-soaked, sing-along, dance-til-you-drop affairs that leave fans hoarse from shouting choruses and, true to their name, a little stiff from all the moving.
The Stiffz have become favourites on the Sydney live circuit, packing out venues like The Brass Monkey in Cronulla and The Miranda Hotel, with multiple sold-out shows to their name. While best known for their killer covers, they’ve also teased audiences with the occasional original track, hinting at a songwriting spark that complements their rocking repertoire.
Whether you’re chasing a night of nostalgic classics, infectious energy, or just a good time with friends, The Stiffz are the band that brings it all — loud, lively, and unforgettable.
