THE BULLET HOLESDestroy The FablesIndependent The Bullet Holes have been kicking around the Perth scene since 2005, but with their new EP Destroy The Fables, you get the distinct feeling they’re not going to be content with kicking around for another five years. On the surface of it all The Bullet Holes are pretty straight forward – three guys playing a fuzzed out brand of pop rock with the occasional punk-rock aping lead break thrown in. The real killer in the mix, however, is Owen Hopwood’s voice – crisp when it needs to be, suitably ragged when it must be, the kid’s got some pipes on him, and with the suitably named Sean Bass holding things down on four strings and Brad Stevens keeping the drumming tight, they’re onto a winner. The only criticism I can make is that with only five tracks, I would have liked a bit more, but like the opening stomp of Tear It Up, you can’t deny this EP. Keep it coming.

SNEAK ATTACKThe powerhouse duo that are Sneaky Sound System are set to unleash their sneakiness once again on Australian shores when they return for a national tour. Miss Connie and Black Angus are coming home from some time spent in Asia and the US to showcase their third album From Here To Anywhere which was released late last year. Tracks like We Love and Big have already enjoyed massive success on pop charts around the world and you can catch the electro pop funksters before they leave our land once more for the likes of Europe. Before they get here, their latest track Really Want To See You Again will be released in early March with remixes from Jam Xpress and Funkagenda as well as others. The From Here To Anywhere Tour arrives in Perth for one night only on Saturday, April 14, at Villa. Tickets are available from Moshtix. |
CREEPING BACKUnless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s likely you’ll have already heard that Radiohead are set to tour Australia for the first time in eight years, however unfortunately the influential British band won’t be gracing us with their presence over here on the west coast. However, if you’re still keen as a jellybean to check out the iconic outfit, Thom Yorke & co will start their tour at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday, November 9, before shows at the Sydney Entertainment Centre (November 12-13) and at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (November 16-17). Tickets go on sale from Ticketek on Thursday at 9am. The price will be $130 each plus booking fee (plus whatever it costs you in flights to get over there). |
