Big Scary - Autumn “An obvious comparison that comes to mind would be Jeff Buckley fronting the White Stripes (and indeed they’ve been described as such), but that undersells both parties. Syme is a far better drummer than Meg White and Tom Iansek’s vocals contain an intimacy that Buckley’s showboating falsetto occasi onally obscured.” - Beat Maga Check their video for Tuesday Is Rent Dayine Big Scary Net Melbourne two-piece with a chick drummer….grrrrr, me likey
Thanks Sean from Gung-Ho for this, its way cool The Rialto Burns are offering two new remixes of their fantastic new EP called For The Asking. Go here and the last two tracks are their gift to you, coz they love you as I love you
"After last summer’s lo-fi debut ‘Radiate,’ The Rialto Burns release the ‘For The Asking’ EP on 28 March 2011 - an energetic 10 tracker full of cavernous, dark moments, electrical soaring highs, and some dirty edges. “Love, loss, hope and salvation – we’re trailing through ‘em all,” says Adam…." more can be found on the souncloud page.

Musically difficult to pin down, in an early live review the band were described by Mojo as playing “angular psych-flavoured post-punk commentaries with disarming confidence” and that’s as close a description as any. They also sent a copy of their self-released EP last year to The Independent and made their Barometer feature in the process.
The band release their debut single proper, “The Magic Eye”, on May 16th via new London independent label Alaska Sounds and it will be first single released from their upcoming debut album “Coloured Clutter”, expected end of June / July. Both single and album have been mixed by Mike Crossley (Foals, Arctic Monkeys).

I am sorry that it's been a while but I will get back to my blog as soon as possible. I have been very busy with a variety of projects to secure a lucrative future for myself.
In the mean time, our my good friends Tim Apter Max Lehr, Eve Rakow of THE FROWN have recently released their debut EP called äˈ-mĕn and it's fantastic!! here is a teaser of the EP.

Closer to home, Eve and I are doing a twice weekly night at THE PLACE PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS BOB ROCKS in Greenside, tuesday and thursday nights you can find myself and guests making noise there until the early hours of the morning. It's a return to the underground for an area that is being inundated with the popped collar and square toe brigade with a penchant for green and gold shirts and too much brandy. It's time to take back the streets, the ears and the minds of the public, and if you are not careful, we will take over your souls too.
AND I CANNOT WAIT to be making noize at WE ARE ANIMALS this weekend at THE WOODS and TOWN HALL, if it's ANYTHING as epic and insane as DESIGNER DRUGS whch was insane. We were still on the dancefloor at 4:15am when the music was stopped and the lights came on, an insanely awesome night was had by all! Joburg DOES know how to party!!
There will be a music related post up as soon as possible as true to form there has been a huge amount of music stacking up in my inbox and I need to sift through it all to share with you. There's a large amount so it will take a while, I promise to have it done as quickly as I can but it is a huge task. I love you all Peas and carrots
