LOOK: Distant Tempos – MMW

, , No Comment

Melbourne Music Week and Mess + Noise put together the Berlin-esque event of Distant Tempos. 6 independent artists performed on Tuesday night with Oliver Tank, Mitzi, Lost Animal, NO ZU, Thrupence & Simon Winkler.

If you have been living under a rock, the pop up venue is held in The Argus Building. If you haven’t had the chance to check out an event at Where?House you most certainly should, there are a few more nights left of incredible music this weekend.

Oliver Tank dropped-it-like-it-was-hot but my personal favourite of the evening was NO ZU, “the wild, ‘heat-beat’ sounds of the New Age”. Sadly they won’t be playing again until January 17th where they are supporting ESG at the HI FI.

LOOK: Boomgates, Camperdown And Out @ GoodGod

, , No Comment

Including Eddy Suppression Ring-ers and Dick Diver-ers, awesome Melbourne janglers Boomgates came and kicked the doors off a sweaty, drunken, and packed GoodGod in Sydney at the weekend in celebration of their debut LP. Local lovelies Camperdown And Out (hey wait, where have I heard that name before?) held our hands before the main act but both more than justified the noisy chatter accompanying their every recent musical move.

LOOK: Pond @ The Corner Hotel

After copping a tambourine to the head within the first two minutes of their set I knew Pond was going to put on a pretty wild show. Nick Allbrook pulled off an amazing performance including multiple episodes of stage diving. Do not miss out on seeing Pond perform live.

The Medics play Spectrum – ‘Foundations Tour’ – in Pictures

, , No Comment

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Queensland based band – The Medics. Having released their ep’s: Beggars, Griffith and Slowburn and winning the Triple J Unearthed competition in 2010, fans have anticipated the release of their Debut Album Foundations for some time. Recently popping by Sydney, they certainly lived up to the hype at Spectrum last Wednesday night. Stirring more than enough energy to get the entire crowd sweat-soaked from jumping and bashing their heads with the drummer leaping into the mayhem – cue drunkard party-goers up front. They played a damn good show and it was a night that had me humming their tunes for the rest of the week.
Check out when and where they’re next playing, if your lucky enough to not have missed them yet;
