Rat Vs Possum

Written by mandu. Posted on September 30, 2010. Filed under banger free zone. Tagged Faux Pas, Melbourne, Rat vs Possum. No comments.

Been meaning to do a post on these guys ever since I worked out I went to school with Daphne from the band, which makes me cooler than thou by association. Rat vs Possum have roamed the country non-stop for several years playing jangly, gang-vocally experimental pop. It’s psychedelic, but not in the scary acid [...]

Miami Horror – Echoplex

Written by mandu. Posted on September 21, 2010. Filed under what?. Tagged miami horror, midnight juggernauts, Stricker, van she. No comments.

Directed by Cara Stricker. The word ‘dynastic’ comes to mind. Echoplex from Miami Horror on Vimeo. Nice video – but I always thought, based on the video for Sometimes and rumours floating around at the time, that some kind of interweaving story was going to be integrated into successive videos. Maybe not though. Sexy piece [...]

Having chased these cats around for yay upon 6 months we’ve got a new jam to share from Alpine, Melbourne’s latest hypebeast.. known in a past incarnation as SWISS (without the definite article of that Bubble Bath lot). Too Safe is their latest single. A simple, sunny guitar riff leads into hypnotic pop.. it’s a [...]

Mega groovy track that samples Arnold Schwarzenegger’s one and only foray into personal fitness tapes. ARP, DARN, ARP, DARN. Silky smooth rolling bass, courtesy of The Swiss’s keys man, and punchy vox courtesy of the leading lyricist ever voted to office… all in one ahction parked parcage. “More energy!” Luke Million – Arnold As you [...]

Further to ’09′s hyperbolic blog circle-jerking surrounding the release of Vistor’s Los Feeling, here’s some recent Visitor that hasn’t got the attention it deserves, nay: demands, good sirs. Amy Meredith – Young At Heart (Visitor Remix) (yeah i did work on this release, but seriously, you’re obviously not taking this whole blog thing very seriously [...]

Blackbird Blackbird

Written by mandu. Posted on September 13, 2010. Filed under what?. Tagged bandcamp, washed out blackbird. 2 Comments.

Some interesting chill’d wavves from the US, Blackbird Blackbird. I dig it. Very Washed Out. Grab the full EP from Bandcamp for 2 bucks… Bandcamp, who I used to love so. Who have now have found it fit to limit free downloads. Which fills me with impotent rage and disappointment. Poor form Bandcamp, poor form. [...]

Rusbo’s triptych, in all their vimeo’d glory, as the artist intended. Sorry we’ve been offline for so long, Electrorash HQ has had domestic internet connectivity issues. We threatened someones’ kids at Internode, so we’re all good now. Back in the game, so to speak. Hey, can’t wait to see the boy Russ at Stereosonic this [...]
