Full set of live pictures after the jump – enjoy.
The Novocaines make rock music in Australia and don’t turn into shallow bogan-progsters while doing it. I’ve seen them more times then I care to mention, drawn to their chaotic awesome (and an unstoppable live show). Hell, they even made it onto the soundtrack for Scream 4 without being gross pop-whores. So in a nutshell, they’re alright.
Their new track, ‘Trampled Hearts’, has a harder edge than most of their previously recorded stuff – as well as managing to capture more of the energy of their live performance in a single song. Plus it was mastered at Abbey Road, so theres that. This is rock, and I love it -the Novocaines know their biz.
The Novocaines have FB, and a debut album coming out soon. Check it.
BKC’s newie is essentially an American Apparel advert with enough turquoise hair and holographic cats to service a Waaves fan’s wet dream. Yeah yeah…the lo-fi garage punk thing is a trending cartoon bleat, but hey, everyone’s a sucker for choppy drumming, three chord riffs and mindless lyrics about chicks in cars, chicks stealing drags, chicks getting haircuts and other important stuff. Whether this is predictable or pubescent joy to your ears, it’s definitely a fun jam. Apple bong.
‘Nothing To Do’ is out Feb 2012.
‘Bottle’ (mp3)
Local hip hop isn’t something in my scope, but this guy’s solo material is a far pitch away from highlighting the best parts of our already uncouth accent. Back in 2007, Mark Pearl was part of a collab with Pip Norman (TZU) called The Commas. Although he’s lent his raspy vox to a handful of Urthboy and Mantra tracks recently, he sounds much more at home on ‘Bottle’, the first track under the moniker Texture Like Sun.
Pearl’s husky tones are a subtle opener to the track before banjo and whistles get thrown into the arrangement, setting the drift somewhere between Scott Matthews and Andrew Bird. It’s clearly a well thought out tune, and it works. Although I reckon this guy would thrive if he went all Patrick Watson and dabbled in orchestral samplers and perhaps some chamber pop, there’s still a wonderful pastoral quality about his voice that would sound pretty special pared back in a surburban lounge room.
A nice sampler of his record which is due out early next year.
Do you like to have fun? Do you like to dance and Roll in good times? Drink merrily with your stylish friends while bathing in some of Australia’s finest music at one of Sydney’s greatest venues?
The answer is probably yes, ‘coz you’re here. The Lonely Kids Club are doing us all a favour and putting on a show at the Oxford Art Factory, featuring Rufus, Collarbones, Fishing and Albatross (alongside many others), launching their summer lineup.
October 16 is the date, Oxford Art is the place. I’ll be there, and I’m a charmer, so you should be there too. While you’re waiting, listen to/watch this stunning clip from Rüfüs. I’m in love.
You should check out Lonely Kids Club as well – their clothes are pretty and their attitude balling.
Very effin rad video by Gus Kemp and Battlesnake.
