Colourfide play elsewhere Tomorrow Night.

FACEBOOK EVENT

Information courtesy of elsewhere

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!

Is Friday Still Fun Fun?

It's Friday again and I thought I'd make a note of the song that fatcats from all around the world are dubbing the "Worst Song Ever". Rebecca Black's "Friday", has hit over 40 million + views on Youtube alone, also reportedly earning $1 million dollars from sales on the iTunes store.

Everyone is giving her shit yet she and the producers of this god awful track are laughing all the way to the bank. I don't blame her for it, she's the product, she's the face that producers sell to make their money, she's the puppet. They wrote the song, made the video, auto-tuned the fuck out of her voice, put some creepy old rapper in the vid, and now are cashing in on it.

I blame them, this sort of stuff reminds me of how much the music business is just cashing in on shit repetitive teeny/tweeny pop music, dance music, electropop music, yet real artists writing their own songs sit casually independently or unknown. They are other songs with young tween singers that the Ark Music Factory has released, personally I'd say they're all better than Friday, but not that hard to do so.

One good thing to come from this are the parody videos. They are plenty floating around the internet and I'm going to post a few up below. Enjoy.

Russian Kidd. Inland Sea. Unplugged.

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...

Joburg Jam

Western Australian DJ/Mixer Nick Bertke, known professionally as POGO, who i've blogged about ages ago, has made mixes of songs only using sounds from films. Films such as Alice In Wonderland, Up! and Harry Potter. He's now starting a new project called "Remixing The World". The first installment of the project is below entitled "Joburg Jam", where he spent some filming audio and video in South Africa for the Smirnoff Experience. Quite a usual catchy tune he has produced and stay tuned for on the project at his site.
