February 8 :
The Bank Holidays

The Bank Holidays on Holiday
The Bank Holidays are the newest Perth band everyone is talking about.
With origins in Norway, the four players reconvened in Perth and have released their Good Looks To Camera EP on Lost & Lonesome, the label that the Lucksmiths' Mark Manone puts a lot of love into.
The band's first jaunt outside their home state starts in Ballarat and sees them playing at the Corner in support of fellow Perth mates the Panics, on February 11.
The Bank Holidays' accepted mission is to play pop in the semi-twee vein. See jangly guitars, 4-part harmonies and handclaps. If you were to ask them what their influences are they would name The Beach Boys, Belle & Sebastian, The Byrds and The Beatles, and other non-B artists such as Neil Young & The Kinks.
The Bank Holidays play:
Ballarat - The Korova Lounge on Wednesday February 9 (with The Panics)
Geelong - The Barwon Club on Thursday February 10 (with The Panics)
Melbourne - The Corner on Friday February 11 (with The Panics and Faker)
Jacqueline Dee talks to the band before they land on Tuesday February 8.

February 15:
Candle Records and the Small Knives
New Buffalo

Birthday Candles
... or rather, Candles' Birthday! Ten years old this year!
Join Tyranny Of Distance on Tuesday February 15 with Chris Crouch - the label's founder - and Phil from the Small Knives as we help them celebrate ten years of top notch great Australian pop music from one of the most reputable labels in the country.
In ten years Candle Records has brought us quality albums and a stable of unique (and very Australian) bands - including The Lucksmiths, Darren Hanlon, Richard Easton, Weave, The Guild League, Ruck Rover and The Mabels - in over 80 releases and forged its own recognisable sound. So established and consistent is the label that the term Candle has all but become an adjective in the local independent music scene.
To celebrate this milestone Candle presents its annual showcase at the Corner Hotel. Sharing the lyrical genius, superb melodies and great live performances of the artists that have helped the label in its local and international success, Candle have extended the showcase to a double whammy of Candle bands over two unique nights in February - Friday 18th and Saturday 19th. Doubling as a launch pad for the Lucksmiths' latest offering The Chapter In Your Life Entitled San Francisco EP, the line up looks a little like this:
Friday February 18: The Lucksmiths, Jodi Phillis, Ruck Rover, The Mabels, The Small Knives & Golden Rough (duo)
Saturday February 19: Darren Hanlon, The Guild League, Anthony Atkinson, Rob Clarkson, Richard Easton & Wes Davidson
The EP and tickets for the shows are available now.
Chris from Candle Records and Phil from the Small Knives visit PBS on February 15.

February 22:
Wolf & Cub
Season

The Season Of The Wolf
Okay, so there we all know there a truckload of wolf bands around at the moment. What you may not know is that the best of the local wolves are Wolf & Cub: a fourtet from Adelaide whose music is the spoilt only child of At The Drive In and the Happy Mondays. Their Targets EP will need no introduction to regular Tyranny listeners, and their live show is tighter than their pants; the pummelling dual percussion team hit whatever is in front of them against a howling guitar and vocal that are suitably wild and loose.
The boys will be supporting Death From Above, but before they hit town, they'll be having a chat to Jacqueline Dee on Tuesday February 22.

Also ready to kick off an East Coast tour are Melbourne instrumentalists Season. Leaving awards and soundtracks in their wake, their debut album Avatar was released in 2004 and is largely awash with instrumental compositions looming languidly in the tradition of International Karate, Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, Silver Ray, New Zealand’s High Dependency Unit, and The Dirty Three.
The tour kicks off on February 26 at the Rob Roy and they'll be in to talk to it up on Tuesday February 22.

Wolf & Cub have shows with Death From Above in February
Season kick off their East Coast tour on February 26 at the Rob Roy
