The crew over at Dinosaur Records have got a ripper of a Friday lined up, have a geeze!
After a short break at the tail end of ’16, The Uplifting Bell Ends kicked the new year square in the head touring alongside The Jim Mitchells up and down the east coast, for the Out of This World tour that saw Gong, Newy and Sydney dates for the lads. Browsing the fair few releases put out by the band, you can expect sounds of a familiar lo fi rock with some stripped back psychadelics in the guitar riffs. Not hard to listen to at all,getting extremely mellow at times, and we bet their set is going to be killer.
Nick Nuisance & The Delinquents is pretty much what you’d expect from the name, with clippy vocals and cranked amps over straight quick beats, its a punky experience start to finish. Some sweet press for the band already this year through HAPPY Mag, an EP in the works, Sydney and Newcastle shows to boot – a lot going on for these Petersham noisemakers, and here’s hoping the shows got the energy to match.
Neighbourhood Void are a ticket to watch for sure, smashing through to FBI artist of the week, premiere of their album Childhood Trauma through HAPPY Mag, and a music video release that is soberingly a cut above, all in the past 5 months. You wanna check these guys out for sure, cathartic live expression that is a massive deal for a 3 piece such as these lads.
Viral Eyes tunes will rough you up something good, with stacks of shows recently around the faithful city limits of Sydney, a tight show should ensue. Its fuzzy, its fast, and just honest garage rock to smash about to with your mates.
Space Carbonara are psych central coast spookers whose new sound seems to be headed down a kinda acidic-zombie groove if their latest demos are any indication. Already with an album earlier last year, this is gonna be a solid performance from some guys up to a lotta mischief.
If you put one of those old germanium fuzzfaces to 10 and shoved The Kinks straight in one end, and churned the lot of it through a microwave, you’d probably end up with half a record by The Satanic Togas. Really backing the sound and vibe of this frakenstein-esque two??-piece, check it out before the show to pick a few tracks to hold out for.
The Scat Sundays – kinda bluesy-psych vocals, kinda garage vibe in tone, this 4 piece probably knows a lot about their namesake. No tracks out yet, keep an ear to the ground!
Rhysics is some kinda genre anomaly, well Aussie dole vibes in the slacker nature of the mix, but a bit more on the lofi home job mix side – nothing to turn your nose at because this guy has style, no other way to put it. His band is up from Melbourne, and are cranking out a double set both at the Miranda Hotel and following up at The Bald Faced Stag alongside Tottyband and Cakewalk.
