With Ashan Munesinghe
Discovered a really cool young Aussie band a few days ago called The Dream, The Chase. Head to their MySpace to find some beautifully delay-driven tracks (myspace.com/thedreamthechase).
If you’re a fan of ambient-driven bands like Secret & Whisper or metal bands check out new local band The Ascension. They bring together ex-members from The Bright Star Alliance, minus the screaming. Find the, add them, favourite them and whatever else he wants you to do with them via myspace.com/wearetheascension.
New local gigs announced this week include Shout Outs South East, hip hop extravaganza featuring Killah Queenz, Phinesse, Timomatic, Child’s Play, Baby Steps and more at the Springvale Town Hall on December 11, plus the following night at the Sunbury Youth Centre, The Big Nite Out, showcases the fine talents of Sweet Kicks, Check Your Smile, Break The Skies, DJ Brad and DJ O.
Looking into the new year, recent international announcements include Paramore, hitting Festival Hall on February 23, and AFI, hitting the same venue the following night.
Additionally, Alexisonfire have also just announced a Soundwave Sidewave show with Comeback Kid and Anti Flag. Definitely a show for the old hardcorers! Rx Bandits, Glassjaw and Motion City Soundtrack will support Sunny Day Real Estate in another Sidewave, and similarly, that show will be something of the old emo, the way it was, and the way it needs to be again. Both sets of tickets go on sale on December 9 at 9am sharp. Tickets will probably get snapped up within a week of on sale, so I wouldn’t wait on anything if you really want to be there.
The all ages house party crew, I Oh You, are back this weekend for another edition with live bands Neon Love, Comic Sans and some quick fix DJs (including members from Young & Restless). You will have to email secrethouseparty@hotmail.com for the secret, (not so secret), location.
Speaking of Neon Love, a friend asked me if I wanted to listen to them a few days ago. Being the post-hardcore/emo/screamo kid that I am, I blew it off at first, then had a quick listen to Skin and was blown away. Keep Us In the Dark is their debut album and the influences seem to come from everywhere. It’s amazing!
If you’re like me, it’s time to get back to watching the addictive first few episodes of True Blood, and eagerly await the Sienna Skies debut release to drop! Catch you guys and gals later, peace and love, as always, and forever.
