RUSSIAN KIDD [EP LAUNCH]

Electro, indie, smooth, pop, dirty, rock... are just some of the many ways to describe a new, fresh flavor in town, called Russian Kidd. This 4-piece Gold Coast band brings new meaning to the word versatility, as it boldly creates a hybrid between genres, shocking its enthused audience one show at a time.

The band proves versatility, not only through the use of eclectic beats and refreshingly melodious vocals, but through four talented musicians with four different backgrounds and four different musical influences that blend perfectly into one riveting and addictive sound.

Like the delicious aftertaste of a titillating Caprioska, Russian Kidd leaves the crowd lingering for more of their powerful drums, sharp melodies, catchy electro hooks, thumping bass lines, intricate harmonies and mind-blowing guitar solos. The band, which has been playing together for a year and a half, believes that the music and lyrics of each song tell a story that any individual can relate to.

Their formidable energy on stage demonstrates a certain confidence slightly reminiscent to that of Two Door Cinema Club and Bloc Party. Through their performances on stage one certainly notices a sharpness that is graceful yet shocking. It is also not hard to see that there is an air of certainty in their music and a passion for what they do.

Whether it is the result of a cohesive vision, an acclaimed dynamic balance or a willingness to explore, it is with complete certainty that anyone who attends a Russian Kidd show will end up leaving purely satisfied, with a smile on their face and a beat in their step.

Their self-titled debut EP, set to launch on the 24th of April, 2011 at Elsewhere Night Club, is something that all music-lovers should look forward to. Look out!

BIXBY CANYON

Bixby Canyon are harsh and grungy. Their frontman probably needs a bigger stage, even with the mic stands moved onto the floor he’s bouncing off his bandmates and running off to do a lightning lap of the half-empty room. Their unassuming bass player looks like Michael Cera, so it’s an impressive surprise when he steps up to the mic and screams like his guts are on fire. - Jody Macgregor - Rave Magazine Feb 2011

PIRATES ALIVE

Gold Coast surfers Michael, Jarryd and Sam have collaborated to form a splendid trio - by the name of 'pirates alive'. Their surf/garage flavour is influenced by artists from The Doors and Pink Floyd to The Beautiful Girls and Angus Stone, a mix which will leave you rocking and perhaps a bit stunned.. The band would come together to jam over a few beers to reach a whole new level of creativity... and through their surf orientated flavour and their love for raw psychadelic solo's a unique sound was made...

YORKE

YORKE have refined their unique sound, drawing from the best parts of their melting pot of influences. The trio found their sound through the songs of southern rock giant’s Kings Of Leon, pop punk legends Jimmy Eat World and alt-rock gods Muse and Biffy Clyro.

Bringing these vastly different influences together to form a single coherent sound has been no easy task, but the product speaks for itself. Swift dynamic changes, crashing choruses and soaring melodies feed the undercurrent of beautiful and heartfelt lyrics.
