Colourfide’s blend of creamy harmonies and bright catchy choruses over a funky bed of fat flavoured drums and badass basslines has begun to create a stir right around the country, performing for the first time at elsewhere in their last GC show for a while.

Rapidly gaining attention from the industry has provided the band with opportunities to showcase their upbeat blend of reggae, rock, funk and world music throughout Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory. Recent highlights include a sold out EP Launch at Hard Rock Café, Surfers Paradise, being selected to showcase at iNtune Northern Territory Music Conference as well as headline opening night of Alice Springs Desert Festival and co-headline of Tennant Creek Desert Harmony Festival.

Spurred by a sense of adventure and a commitment to fulfilling their potential as a musical outfit; in May 2010 the band relocated from the Gold Coast, QLD to Tennant Creek, NT, for a period of six months. Living as one in one of the most remote communities in Australia the band found the space, time and inspiration to concoct a potent broth of explosive music now ready to be unleashed upon the general public in coming months.

An unquenchable thirst for the road promises to see the band touring extensively over coming months and building a nationwide audience from the ground up, one town at a time.

OCEANICS at Hard Rock EP LAUNCH

FACEBOOK EVENT

Information courtesy of Oceanics.

We have just toured through NSW, gigged our young asses off and spread this EP down south.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT OUR BLOODY HOT SUNSHINE STATE HOME.

After over 2 and a half months without a Gold Coast show, we will be hitting you with a new found energy and intensified level of lols. We are going to tear the little Loft apart, and would LOVE you to be a part of this homecoming party. A week or so after this we'll be on a plane and off to Melbourne, and you won't see us play on the Gold Coast again for months.

Supporting us are modern day rock stars and fellow Gold Coast BDO 2011 artists, Blonde on Blonde. Our balls-to-the-wall rocker buddies Buick Six will round out a tight line up.

MAY 7 @ Hard Rock (The loft dogged it)
$10 ENTRY or $15 ENTRY + EP
'NUFF SAID

The lads did a run of shows on NSW. heres a clip.

Bleeding Knees Club

FACEBOOK EVENT

Information courtesy of Bleeding Knees Club.

"Who the f:/ck are Bleeding Knees Club?" -

It's a question more and more folks have been asking since party-hardy duo Jordan Malane and Alex Wall burst out of the Gold Coast at the tail-end of 2010.

An irrepressible garage-pop 'n' surf-punk pair, Bleeding Knees Club have won hearts and minds through a reckless live reputation and, on the recorded front, with a swag of super-catchy tunes on their debut EP "Virginity".

This year has seen them tour nationally with Wavves, Lightspeed Champion and Gold Fields, as well as play the Gold Coast date of the Big Day Out.

Their EP cuts "Have Fun" and "Bad Guys" have been flogged on Triple J and public radio, and "Have Fun" even infiltrated the world of high-street fashion when it was hand-picked to soundtrack a TV ad for Myer's Miss Shop.

Bleeding Knees Club are now getting ready to take their rip-roaring attitude global! They head to the UK in May for some club dates, as well as an appearance at famed Brighton festival The Great Escape. After that, it's off to New York City to record their debut album with new BFF Dev Hynes (Lightspeed Champion and Blood Orange) as producer.

Before they jet, they'll be bringing the party to a small sweaty venue near you one more time. Get ready to get loose!

Design Insight: Issue 10 "Zombie"

The zombie design began from a simple thought. I feel like doing a design with a zombie and perhaps a gremlin like cousin creature.

And that is exactly what I did, did an obscure head, open the head up, gremlin popping out looking fierce.

I've sort of had trouble explaining the meaning, If there is one, for this design, I feel there should be since all the other designs have some sort of background story, well this one does, but seems to simple and stupid. Really I'd say some of it could be interpreted as how my brain works.

I'm an abstract weird human being, with a wicked creative mentality, perhaps something similar to have wild gremlin creatures running a muck in my brain, fucking shit up.

Another idea was that of something more philosophical and serious. The idea of the NWO, the New World Order, the one world government. We are all brainwashed zombies and the higher empires plan to control our every moment and see every move we play. Something like that. There's plenty of Zeitgeist movement videos about this concept out on the interwebs. Suss them.

Don't be a Zombie, Be a Living Being.

Yolanda Be Cool. April 1st. Platinum.

FACEBOOK EVENT

Blurb courtesy of Platinum Nightclub:

With one record Yolanda Be Cool have gone straight to the top of the music industry a list.
Their second single – ‘We No Speak Americano’ (co-produced with DCUP) sold over 5 million copies and hit number 1 in 18 countries; infiltrating radio waves, TV shows, and pretty much every dance floor in the world over the summer. You’d need to be a Tarantino assassinated corpse to have not felt its impact in some form.
With a name nodding to the final scene in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction when Samuel L Jackson’s character shouts “BE COOL YOLANDA!” to the crazed female armed-robber, this renegade order to keep your calm when you hit the big time has now taken on more relevance than ever intended.
Also known as Johnson Peterson and Slyvester Martinez, Yolanda Be Cool have demonstrated that with the panache and production skills to back it up it’s possible to cultivate an international smash hit without the need for a major label vehicle, instead releasing on homegrown Australian indie ‘Sweat It Out’.
With over ten years DJing under their belts their musical influences extend far beyond their Native Sydney, from old school hip hop, to Chicago house to techno to pretty much everything in between. Bondi beach locals at heart, when out of the studio or not playing at the biggest clubs in the world you’ll find them at the beach catching waves.
The distinctly tropical flavour to their productions and fiercely educational attitude to sampling (in the case of We Speak No Americano crate digging as far back as 1950’s Italia) combined with their big room pull to pack out festival stages and mammoth venues, as a dance act, nods more to creative sampling heavyweights like Switch than any of their more current peers.
With demand calling on tours in North and Central America, South America, Australia Asia and Europe in the first half of 2011 and the follow up single to ‘We Speak No Americano’ about to drop plus an artist album in the pipeline while Johnson and Slyvester may be keeping their cool, they’re certainly not resting on their laurels…
Expect big things from these guys in 2011.

Cardboard Castle EP Launch at Elsewhere

Information courtesy of Elsewhere Bar.

Attend the Facebook Event Here.

High-school friends that started a band after a couple bad breakups in Australia's California; The Gold Coast. Played everywhere they could for 2 years. Made friends, broke hearts, kidnapped garden gnomes and Glued a toy horse to the front of their van, then moved to Toronto to do pretty much the same. Four friends who love rock’n’roll, still standing on the wall and slurring all our words.

Cardboard Castle play songs about girls, that melancholy that comes with nostalgia and those hazy summer nights you can't forget.

Mainly about girls...
