Yo, patch reporting here. Just remembered I didn’t formally introduce myself in my last post!
As firstly mentioned by disaster, I was meant to be covering ‘the Big Day Out‘ but little did I inform him was that I didn’t get a ticket. Anyway, all I know is that my mates were LOVING The Presets and could not stop bragging for days. Also, I heard Justice (on the Melbourne leg of the Aussie Tour at the time) flaunted it up at the BDO and also Room680!
The type of music I love varies from Progressive Rock to Electro but I won’t go all 1970’s on you guys, that would be plain cruel.
Now, with my little intro out of the way… onto the goods. Basically, being a kid living in Australia (close to Melbourne if you want to know..), I just want to post out all the cool bands thats out here. Most, of course you will know, but that doesn’t matter & I’ve surely missed some but don’t fret!
Barrage (FERAL MEDIA):
From last.fm:
Melbourne (Australia) based singer and producer, whose style falls between post-punk / electro-pop romantics and contemporary, rough and ready electronica. Originally from Brisbane (in the north-eastern state of Queensland), Barrage (real name Mark Gomes) has released one album - Hero or dirt? - so far. He has also played extensively across Australia’s eastern states.
Bit by Bats (Shiny Records):
from wikipedia:
An Australian three piece originally hailing from Adelaide, now living in Melbourne. Forming in 2003, the band had existed just a matter of weeks when they laid down their first demo (later released as their first ep). They sent it in as a CD-R to their local radio station, Three D Radio, who almost burnt a hole in the disc from constant play, well before the mysterious band stepped out to play their first show. The songs recalled influences of early-era The Cure, Joy Division and Television and fused them with a fresh raw and rough urgency.
Bumblebeez (MODULAR):
from wikipedia:
A hip-hop/rock band. Their first album is titled The Printz, although this is simply a compilation for an international release, comprised of all the tracks from their first two Australian EP’s ‘The White Printz’ and ‘The Red Printz’ (known to fans as the Printz saga).
