Performing
live are Australian superstars in waiting The Blow Waves. Fusing punk,
disco and a touch of ‘cock rock’, the Blow Wave’s unique sound has been
described as punchy, rocky disco-camp and full of raw attitude.
The
Blow Waves are; Vocals – Matt Doll, Guitars – Jamie Wave, Keyboards –
Byron St John, Bass – John Pants, and Drums – Jezz Beat. They first
performed together at a music festival in South Australia in 2006 and
they haven’t stopped since. After playing at the famous Sydney Mardi
Gras in 2008, the band has been touring Australia, including
performances at the Sydney Opera House and Brisbane Pride, building on
their reputation for delivering inspiring live shows.
"Knife-edge
guitars, psyched out keyboards and playful/dirty lyrics… their singer
sports a bath robe, their bearded bassist Is clad in leather daddy cap,
while their keyboardist camps it up in a football jersey. Clearly, this
quartet aren’t what you’d call shy and retiring.” – Inpress Magazine
“The
Blow Waves’ garish costumes, a bright clash between New Romantic and
punk, ensure they’re hard to miss… The band has a strong queer fan
base, but their cock rock sound is by no means restricted to a
particular demographic.” – Rip It Up Magazine
Also performing
live is GORDON TINNITUS. He has ruined many eardrums over the years
including his own. Originally from Northern Ireland he has been
resident of Schizophrenia, Relapse and Grunt Productions nights in
Belfast. Currently located in Manchester he regularly punishes the
crowd at Unjust with the likes of Current Value, the Panacea, Limewax
and Tech Itch. His own music is influenced largely from labels such as
Reflex, Warp and Deathchant but can be considered as melodic as it is
dissonant.
ENGLISH ELECTRIC will also play a solo set. His music
is inspired by Krautrock, Italo, Electro, Hip Hop and pop. The recently
released Auto Beam EP received this impressive review:
"The
title track features a crisp yet pulsing Italo groove, but it’s the
epic Vangelis-style synth bluster of ‘Giorgio & Jim’ and ‘Monarch’
that make this an essential release." 4 / 5 DJ MAG
Adding a bit
of glamour to the evening will be performances from 3 rising stars on
the Burlesque scene; BAMBI LA BEAU, SENTOSA SPARKLE and LEIGH MON
MERINGUE. They'll take to the stage with grace half way through the
night.
Also on the bill are tip-top DJs from nights across town
playing a mix of disco and electro. This includes OSCAR WILD STYLE (Sex
With Robots), KEV BEARD (Homo-Electric), AFI KHAN (Terrorist), TIM
HAMLIN and PASTA PAUL (Piccadilly Records).
