TIMTIM – July 2008 Mix (mp3)

… is Tim from Damn Arms. Since they’re on a hiatus, Yama is busy doing G.L.O.V.E.S, Simon is with the Lost Valentinos, Ben Browning is shredding for Cut Copy, and Tim is touring Japan to DJ! This set is a pretty good LCD/Cut Copy disco-vibe mix perfect for Friday.

Violent Soho – ‘Love is a Heavy Word’

A bit of groove rock now, Violent Soho is a young four piece from Brisbane whose vocals remind me of the rockier grunge bands of the early 90s. I suppose comparisons with Children Collide would not go amiss. These guys are doing back to back touring with Reptiles, Cut Off Your Hands and The Mess Hall all the way to September so you got no reason to miss them.

WOW – Icy Cold

Sydney based trash electro noisemakers WOW played at a Levity night in Sydney recently to debut themselves as the label/brand’s latest artists. I’ve always thought brand funded record labels would be a viable way for new artists to break into the scene. Levity is Levi’s Jeans funded record label, whose labelmates include Cut Off Your Hands and Mercy Arms. This is a fairly small marketing exercise compared to Toyota Scion’s label effort in the USA who put out 500,000 copies of double cd compilation for free every three months, which include some pretty cool special remixes by upcoming artists. While it’s hard to measure just how much ‘cool association’ with up and coming artists would translate into dollar spend, I’m glad that at least there is effort being put into coming up with an alternative to the traditional consumer driven record labels.

Funnily enough moments after this picture were taken, WOW got booted off stage by the owner of the pub because she didn’t like the music much.
