   About Little Red
Lexington
Little Red – UK Album Launch @ Friday 13th November 2009 tickets £5
A White Heat and (un)Lucky Number presentation on Friday 13th November + Alan Pownall + Lucky Number DJs playing the finest in rock n roll, northern soul, doo-wop, and pop gems.

Straight outta Melbourne, Australia, with 3 lead singers fighting for every note over 4 part harmonies & skin-tight primal rhythms, Adrian Beltrame (Guitar, Vocals), Dominic Byrne (Vocals, Guitar), Quang Dinh (Vocals, Bass), Taka Honda (Drums) and Tom Hartney (Vocals, Percussion) are Little Red.

They are the hottest all singing, all dancing incarnation of the quintessential rock 'n' roll band, simultaneously both classic and anachronistic in a way that's guaranteed to generate excitement.

Rather than stealing inspiration from the 'book of cool' this 5-piece cut to the chase in a pure style they jokingly refer to as 'doo-wop punk'. They maintain almost exclusively iconic influences, from a palette of Springsteen, Radiohead, early Elvis, Dylan, Sam Cooke, Nick Cave, The Beatles, and Lou Reed, as well as the more obscure gospel and doo-wop references that become apparent from listening to their fierce vocal passion, delivering the beauty and tension of musical emotion in a ragged and raw expression.

Formed from a core of childhood friends and named after a song from the canon of Chicago blues legend, Willy Dixon, Little Red’s sound is remarkable: at once familiar and totally new.

Their Australian heritage has allowed them to be influenced by the classic British and American artists, but together with Melbourne's D.I.Y. ethic, the isolation of living on the world's largest island has promoted unique development away from prying eyes. The wide-open landscapes of their locality encourage the same wide-eyed world conquering ideas that spawned the long-gone power of the original Americana, now replaced by more corporate populist cynicism. Their sound represents a back-to-basics rawness, where everything you hear is the sound of recording live in a room. Like The Strokes & The Shins at their most influential, they deliver a dual quality of referencing timeless classicism with the urgent modernity of youth.

The band's moves are increasingly garnering attention in their homeland, from winning Australia's 2008 'Garage To V Festival' competition, to touring with Vampire Weekend, to selling XXk albums and counting of their self-released debut album Listen To Little Red. For the World outside Australia, UK based label Lucky Number are about to drop a newly re-mastered, international version of their debut – complete with a revised track-listing and updated artwork.

Listening to Little Red, you're reminded of all the good things in life. As you dance like no one's watching, and sing with your best bathroom gurgle in an attempt to recreate the essential quality of the band, one thing's for sure, it's hard not to smile.

Roll up roll up, Vultures of Venus are back in town you funky disco cats. And guess what? ... their self-titled debut LP is finally here! Ten tracks of unadulterated Glampunk Electro madness! It’s unleashed on Thursday 29th of October at Bar Open on Brunswick St. It’s Bowie on steroids; it’s Marquis de Sade and Andy Warhol screaming at the moon through a home-made vocoder. The Lollyshop is open for business ! It’s going to be a huge night filled with bubble machines, strobes, psychedelic video projections and cautionary tales to tell your grandchildren. It will also feature live performances from those vixens of burlesque “the Venus Man Traps”. Support on the night comes from psych-popsters Go-Go Sapien serving up synth-infected garage with lashings of ravenous big sexy guitars. Make sure you get down early to catch the debut performance by newcomers Tusk. And most importantly we have kept the entry fee down to a very affordable – FREE ! Copies of Vultures of Venus’s LP can be scoped up for a low $10 on the night. Yee-Har space cadets !
