After selling out their first show, Sydney trio Seekae annouced a second at the Corner Hotel, Melbourne.
The combination of supporting duo Kangaroo Skull and the sensory overload of lasers, strobes and smoke made for an intense Wednesday night.

Collarbones – ‘Hypothermia’ (mp3)
The brand new track from Collarbones ft. Guerre. It’s uptempo by past standards, but still a great feeling to this one (those beats…holla 2001). Post millennia pillow talk that these guys put out always sounds good. The new album Die Young is released Friday 28 September through Two Bright Lakes/Remote Control. Get on (in and around) this.
Catch Collarbones launching the album here:
Friday 28 September – Liberty Social, Melbourne
Saturday 29 September – Brisbane Festival
Friday 5 October – Rocket Bar, Adelaide
This one doesn’t have anything to do with Wayne Coyne and his bandit of Orientals strapping cheeseburgers onto the loins of poor civilians (you know the one). Still reasonably flamboyant, in the better sense of the word though. It does take cues from the kind of Windows Media Player PC screensavers I spent my kidtimes dreaming into…BUT here lies a sonic ark of all the neon dolphins, heavy machinery + pyrotechnics of your dreams, lunging at you for your visual betterment.
Those thundering, swampy sounds are courtesy of awesome Sydney band The Money Go Round. Video by Oh Yeah Wow, who don’t really need an intro. Dig the Kasabian vibe happening, alongside the distraction that is this astral mindfck of a video. 1:58. LOOK, A NARWAL.
Little Casino are a 5 piece who hail from Brisbane and Byron Bay. This tune is the first taste of Little Casino’s EP, due out late 2012. There’s light and shade in the soft atmospheric breaks and the frantic build up towards the end of ‘Bows & Arrows’. Tumbling out of your speakers all upbeat drums and plaintive vocals, this is a definite catchy track with a shiny pop song sheen.
Sydney’s Fabergettes got their heels (and their hula) on in King’s Cross last night as part of FBi Radio’s Music Open Day, showcasing some of their favourite acts to submit music so far this year.
If you’re in the mood for 60s garage holding hands with sugary doo-wop, they’ve got their EP up on their bandcamp – and let’s face it, when are you not in the mood for that?

Donny Benet – ‘Treat Yourself’
‘Treat Yourself’ is taken from the brand spanking new Donny Benet record ‘Electric Love‘, due out September 7. It’s a time-warp record that takes you back to shiny jackets, leg warmers, fluoro and shoulder pads. ‘Electric Love’ is a sexy production from a man that lives in a discofied world. I love the urgency in the fast pace keys and clap synth. Donny Benet transcends any good time soundtrack by channelling John Hughes with a seedy Kings Cross style story telling. Now before you go getting physical over these hip disco beats, you should also note he is doing a ‘Dinner & Show’ thang at Sydney’s GoodGod Danceteria on launch day! Wow. So if you wanna ‘Treat Yo Self’. Get down on it. It’ll look something like this:

Guerre – ‘Ali’ (mp3)
Another brilliant, clean slated jam from one of our faves. Matt has given this boy so much love (love, love, love) on this blog in the past, so couldn’t resist. ‘Ali’ is track one of split 12″ – Apathy/Revels, also featuring fellow Sydney tastemaker Nakagin.
Apathy/Revels is out Sep 1st through Finer Things. 82% chance of getting laid if you buy this for your dude/lady friend.
