Sparkadia – ‘China’ (video)

, , No Comment

New clip for the second single from the follow up to Postcards. If chicks, whipped cream and exploding stuff (via. El Guincho’s Bombay) pique your interest, this is probably your thing. It’s also a good tune. From Rhett Wade-Ferrell and the fellas at Moopjaw.

Win I OH YOU passes

, , No Comment

Kids climbing trees, coppers herding a few hundred out of a Richmond backyard before 12 and waking up with considerable bruises the following morning after being pelted in the face with lemons. A year, a few more yard/warehouse shindigs and a few band signings later, I OH YOU seem to understand what productive partying really is. If grinding up against international visitors (Yeasayer/Foals) in a foam pit takes your fancy, or alternatively if you’re in it for the tunes (DZ/Ships Piano/Loon Lake etc.) hit us up at rsvp@whothehell.net by 5pm this Thursday with your best party antics and your details to go in the running for a double pass.

Win Papa Vs. Pretty tix

, , No Comment

After receiving praise for their EP Heavy Harm, spending the year supporting bands like Phoenix, Surfer Blood, Silversun Pickups and just recently wrapping up up a national tour with roving tropicana party The Holidays, Papa Vs. Pretty have finally taken a breather. They’ve spent November writing and rehearsing stuff for their upcoming record, but will be back in December to do a few shows, play Peats Ridge and Pyramid Rock, as well as a support slot with Canada’s Hot Hot Heat.

Papa Vs. Pretty will be playing a gig with Fuzz Phantoms and Glastonbury booked/Unearthed high winners Stonefield at the East Brunswick Club in Melbourne next Wednesday (December 1st).

We’ve got 5 double passes to give away, so swing your details over to rsvp@whothehell.net by 5pm, Monday 29th Nov to go in the draw.

She Wear The Break Up (mp3)

Listen to

Nothing’s Going Right (mp3)

Listen to

Sean Ainsworth who fronts Melbourne’s Fearless Vampire Killers has been out on a solo venture. Solid live shows, Hives & Kasabian support slots and a bit of love from Kingsmill; The Fearless Vampire Killers have built a decent rep about town in the last couple of years. And while FVK’s brand of western infused surf swamp could easily make itself at home on the Death Proof soundtrack, Ainsworth’s solo stuff under the moniker Brainsworth offers a bit more respite.

‘Nothing’s Going Right’ is a tempered, lackadaisical track with a slight Parachutes vibe, while ‘She Wear the Break Up’ is an older track, but a real charmer nonetheless. Brainsworth does subtlety nicely without getting too narcotic. I’m a sucker for understated harmonies, shimmery percussion and lazy tunes to add to my hangover playlist, so this one ticks the boxes.
