I am honoured to host Dan Kelly (he of the Tabloid Blues and multiple ARIA award nominations) and Gareth Liddiard (acclaimed Alpha Male and Drone) for a wee chat and some tunes. The boys are back in town and playing some shows that have been too damn long in coming. So if you're as impatient as I am to hear these guys again, tune in to welcome them back and get an early taste of the tabloid blues.
Catch Dan Kelly & the Alpha Males with the Drones on Thursday October 7 (with the Vandas too) and Friday October 8 (with Midnight Juggernauts) at the Tote. And I'll be on decks too. I can barely contain myself!
And...
Oneironaut pay a dreamy visit to Tyranny Of Distance. Lord how I've missed them... but they are back in venues and shops with their new release, the stunning Pure Through Evolution out now on Low Transit Industries.
Here's more on Oneironaut:
Melbourne four piece Oneironaut have been around since 1996. Following the release of two independent EP's and 2001's 'Antipodean Dream' album on Sydney's Comrade Records, the band has played extensively in Melbourne and has made regular visits to Sydney and Adelaide.
Oneironaut have been playing with the likes of Further, High Dependency Unit, Machine Translations, Disaster Plan, Decoder Ring and International Karate. The addition of a cello player has seen the band embark on a solid year of writing and recording. The resulting album 'pure through evolution' is a melting pot of sounds and ideas, this time utilizing a vast array of musicians. From horns to theremins, operatic vocals and strings, the band has produced 11 new songs expanding on their trademark guitar sound and lush arrangements.
Oneironaut launch new album Pure Through Evolution at the Rob Roy on Saturday October 9 with Disaster Plan and Colditz Glider.
