Sounds LikeIn the reviews for the latest album, those writing people have said we sound like the following bewildering bunch of totally unrelated bands: Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Augie March, Coldplay, U2, Radiohead, The Polyphonic Spree, Split Enz, Pink Floyd, Powderfinger, Starsailor, Turin Brakes, Badly Drawn Boy, Eskimo Joe, Delta Goodrem (just seeing if you were paying attention)...so take from that list what you will and listen to the tracks. They're just up there...

We think it's kinda layered, to remain interesting after lots of listens. You'll hear vocals and sometimes whole choirs, an army of guitars, bass, drums, flutterings of electronics, pianos, keyboards, sleigh bells, banjos and mandolins doing cameos, small children, talkback radio, bells that chime, bottlecaps and coins, foot stomps and handclaps.

   About Fourth Floor Collapse
We've emerged from a post-Victoria victory lap of the country to play some acoustic shows that will showcase a broad range of material dating right back to the early days of the band. The groundwork is being done on a new album.


THE LATEST ALBUM
The Fourth Floor machine has been steadily ticking over during the past few months and we're ready to set album number four upon the world.

It's called Victoria. And it's on sale at the iTunes Music Store



It'll be released by the stellar people at Creative Vibes. It'll be available in all good stores.

It will have tracks in this order:
1. Xmas 88
2. Best Disguise
3. Deadbeat
4. Same Mistake
5. Black and Blue
6. Drive On Regardless
7. All is Forgiven
8. Audrey is Sad
9. Whole Lot Comes Alive
10. Get Up Slow
11. Without Wires
12. The Tigers Are Waiting
13. Someone Else to Blame


The first single is Drive On Regardless.

It makes an excellent gift at any time of year and will make your ears tingle, your eyes water, your heart beat, your knees weak, and your left arm go slightly wobbly.

Keep an eye out round here and at fourthfloorcollapse.com for more details about our new release and for tour dates and other fun stuff.

For everyone that listens to Triple J radio in Australia you can request the new single, Drive On Regardless online at TRIPLE J's SUPER REQUEST, or send a text message to 1975 7 555 or simply call from 6pm nightly on 1300 0555 36.


The Bio
There's no place like a new home. Fourth Floor Collapse upped stumps in 2005 and shifted their base from Perth to Melbourne. Crossed the Plain to play to more people, more often and with a new record under tucked under their collective wings too. 'Books with Broken Spines' is the band's third album and was released in February 2006 to the usual hoo-ha. First single, Drink Till You Drown, got a flogging on the wireless and the second, Occupation, started its occupation of the airwaves in the final week of May.

So here we are. About 250 shows since Dan, Rhys and Michael first played together in Dan's garage as 14-year olds. Yes, it goes back to the schoolyard. Over the next few years they set about becoming the most awarded unsigned band in Australia (10 WAMIs, Australian Live Music Awards, assorted songwriting prizes...), released an EP and a trio of albums, a bunch of singles, gained a following around the country, had national tours, got good airplay from community to commercial radio, got a MySpace site...all that jazz.

It's going to be a monster four band pile up on highway 666 as Vultures of Venus crash into the Birmingham on Thursday the 3rd of Dec. Their debut LP which is now available through I-Tunes has been receiving strong support and favorable reviews from local radio RRR, PBS and Syn Fm. 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 !!!

Hey Fourth floors
I discovered Victoria from creative vibes before they went bellyup. I bought both CDs at once on the back of your fine track, "worn out" on Gotye's mixed blood. I posted the comment on a whim......totally random really!

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 !

Hi Guys
thanks for adding me again, your music stays with me always, so much in life conjurs the lines in "Drive on regardless","drink till you drown" "winters End" and your truly sublime rendition of "worn Out" where the emotion is breathed into every word and the melody soars with resiliant hope. All credit to you and I hope there are more gems to come!
