We bring you the sounds that crash to shore, to wash over you at night
So after joining this ‘meditation support group’ in the hills of country victoria, a false god introduced me to this 3 piece band from Brooklyn named, These Are Powers. Another band to watch out for in the midst of a growing number of new age/psychedelic styled music. If your a fan of Telepathe or Naked On The Vague your gonna love this. Droning guitar intro with spiritual chanting and heavy drums. Opinions?
blah blah etc etc myspace
So like I haven’t posted anything for a while. I’ve kind of been busy lost in my own mind trying to decide if I should go overseas or if I should throw away my life looking for a full time job. So what have I discovered? Well not much, but in a space of one week I did find out that magic mushrooms grow behind my old high school oval and that my mum knows that i used the word ‘cunt’ and/or ‘cunty’ in my last post
NO AGE
If you have heard of mika mako then you have probably heard of these guys before. But if you live outside LA then maybe not? They are apparently touring Australia towards the end of this year with pets with pets possibly supporting. Like i dunno. You really have to listen to ‘everybody’s down’ on their myspace its fucking amazing but they also have a tribute song to bjork which is a pretty sound cover.
Coming to Melbourne soon. Not Bjork but like No Age and stuff
MP3: NO AGE - OH SO QUIET
THE STABS
I’ve had a stalker before and its really kind of creepy and scares the shit out of you at the time. But when you get a band named ‘the stabs’ with a song ‘never going home’ with lyrics… “you got my number and then you never called, so i got some duct tape and kicked in your front door” it makes obsessive violence cool again.
So instead of buying another pair of cheap mondays just stalk your ex and listen to the stabs.
MP3: THE STABS - NEVER GOING HOME
DOWNTOWN
I think their own myspace explanation is pretty rad ” fucking good chicks/good roots too / bill bails too but he is a chick deep down “.
MP3: DOWNTOWN - THE HIT
STAY HIGH
I have this friend named gentle. He dresses like an esoteric prince but has this amazing ability to discover bands from the future, another planet or connections to an accention cult. This is one of them. Stay High.
MP3: STAY HIGH - KRISPY MASH (STAY HIGH MIX)
GRAFFITI ISLAND
Everybody likes real men and lo-fi surf music. Graffiti Island from London. Wow. Amaazing!
MP3: GRAFFITI ISLAND - MOUNTAIN MAN
WHICH HATS
The witch hats have a similar rad sound to the stabs. Hailing from Melbourne and touring at the moment promoting their new 7 inch “CELLULITE SOUL“. You can check out the gig dates on their myspace.
MP3: WITCH HATS - NEIL DIAMOND
TELEPATHE
Now alot of you are gonna be like, “quit reading vice band reviews and trying to palm them off as your own find”. Well whatever. It was just coincidence that, gentle and my girlfriend introduced me to them at the same time vice decided to write some shit review.
However they will be touring Australia and will be in Melbourne on the 26th of June at the Toff,
Supported by pets with pets.
