The Dolly Rocker Movement – Get Up and Go Go

Listen to

I first came across this band on a rainy Anzac day, wandering through the Essential festival at the Gaelic Club on the back of a rather large musical bender. The Dolly Rocker Movement were shoved into one of the smallest upstairs rooms. It was way too crowded, smelled vaguely of feet and a series of audio problems meant we stood there in uncomfortable silence for at least 15 minutes, but when the band finally started, well – it’s a tad clichéd, but it was all worth it.

They’re about town quite a bit these days, so if you haven’t caught their warm fuzzy percussion yet, move a little faster, people.

Violent Soho – ‘Love is a Heavy Word’

Listen to

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.

Deep Sea Arcade
– ‘Crouch End’ (mp3)

Listen to

Sydney youngsters with a penchant for The Beatles and Elliott Smith. Deep Sea Arcade could have done a lot worse with their debut offering to the world. An underwater adventure in the yellow submarine with Lennon at the helm, ‘Crouch End’ is a dreamy psych-folk tune that floats along and takes you in its current. I reckon it won’t be long before you see Deep Sea Arcade and fellow Sydneysiders Richard In Your Mind sharing bills together; they’d compilment each other perfectly.
