With influences including the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Sepultura, Alice Cooper and My Dying Bride, CATWITCH are able to retain a distinct sound and style, which makes them stand out from the rest of the Goth/metal scene.

Schizophrenic theatrical Goth rock metal band CATWITCH, "are a live theatrical act not to be missed" (Loudmouth magazine).
In a state of mind half way between nightmare and reality, Darkness lay silent, shapeless, for it needed a new form. A form that was powerful and of pure blood, something to spread its word, something to bring mayhem to where before there was order and breed a new kind of insanity. Mother Darkness gathered up her dying embers and with these ashes she forged one purpose, split within a force of six and with a single icy breath she breathed, not life but something in-between that and death, CATWITCH was born.
Together they spawned a unique fusion of gothic melodies and thundering rhythms that would shake the pillars of Heaven, destined to alter the perception of musical Entertainment forever. Like a vicious storm CATWITCH rain down thrilling crowds with their "brutish songs and powerfully visual stage show"(Loudmouth)
With "…The searing, screeching tonsil torment emanating from lead singer Kieran O'Reilly bares not merely anguish and aggression but a possessed intensity…"(Massive) "…Their dark and brooding music holds a weird fascination and when singer Kieran really sings it's sweet and involving - then harshly torn apart by his screeching…"(Loudmouth) Also the spine tingling bass of Rob Charlton, haunting keyboard melodies of Kent Ross, the ear rupturing guitar assaults of Lawrence Rhoads and "…the pummeling drumbeat of Glenn James you have an impressive gothic metal band emerging…" (Massive)
"Onstage CATWITCH are well noted for their hellish theatrical visions and raw atmospheric power"(Massive magazine).
"The most entertaining show seen on the live circuit in a long time"(Loudmouth).
"To see CATWITCH perform is to see a band that goes to no end of effort to put on an awesome stage show"(Beat magazine).
With influences including the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Sepultura, Alice Cooper and My Dying Bride, CATWITCH are able to retain a distinct sound and style, which makes them stand out from the rest of the Goth/metal scene.
"Criss-crossing Marilyn Manson and Metallica territory, CATWITCH provide a furious gothic metal vision"(Massive).
"The flow of music flooding your ears, is like the nourishment a baby would get from the blood in the womb"(Rabelias).
CATWITCH have been included on three of the 'Metal Warriors' Videos produced by Samson Productions, with video clips for their songs 'Demons of the Night' and 'Judgment Day' (both taken from the 1997 release Phobophilia). These clips have also been televised on 'Rage' (ABC TV) and 'Asylum' (Ch 31).
The attention CATWITCH aroused also led to the filming of a documentary produced by December Films and Film Victoria. Centering on the band, the film 'Hear No Evil', which screened nationally on SBS TV January 1998, gained CATWITCH mainstream publicity and was reviewed in some of Australia's leading magazines and newspapers like The Age, The Herald Sun, Who Weekly and TV Week."Take Pyogenesis, add a little My Dying Bride and mix the lot with Metallica and the result will be worth your taste."(www.rockezine.com).CATWITCH "deliver a musical statement worthy of enticing the demented listener to the show"(Beat).B>

There once was a time in the land where the sun was worshiped as god and its embrace with the moon made the earth hold its breath as time stood still in silence, and at that hour the smothered sun shall cloak the whole world in the dead blackness of midnight giving birth to the Element Of Eclipse.

It will also be available in hard copy on the night. This gig is gonna be fun, fun, fun on the Smith st autobahn. Armed with big rock riffs and blazing electrified keys this is the Vultures first show since their sellout LP Launch. This is a band with a plan; and that plan is to make you do the Can Can. Joining them on the night is Mirrorhouse Antics whos live show is a cross between the Arctic Monkeys and The Stooges. They have just released their debut album, recorded at Bakehouse by Mikey from Eddie Current Suppression Ring. Dan Webb's 60's styled Hammond infused insanity is gonna be something to look out for as well as the 'Wise Flys' : they'll make you laugh they'll make you cry, they'll make you laugh about crying. And don't forget to look out for the crazy clown pinyada filled with burning flesh and give away fun toys for the kids. This is a B.Y.O "leotard friendly event ". So pour yourself into your favorite and come on down !!!

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 !
