   About hunz
End Code To Apply Top Banner

February 2009 housed 28 days. That's 672 hours for potential productivity, but far less when working around employment and social commitments. This time constraint makes the conditions surrounding the release of Hunz's second album all the more remarkable. "Thoughts That Move" was conceived, written, performed and produced by Brisbane independent electronic artist Hunz (http://hunz.com.au/) throughout the month of February 2009. It's Hunz's contribution to a worldwide contest known as the RPM Challenge (http://rpmchallenge.com/), which saw over 2,200 bands commit to releasing an album of original music within those 28 days. Those 672 hours. These ten tracks find Hunz tightening his grip on a peerless pop sound that hints at dark electronica undertones, while never misplacing his outstanding melodic sensibilities. In a similar manner to Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails ffering the GarageBand source files used to compose his music, Hunz is simultaneously releasing "Thoughts That Move" in the Renoise format that contains the core components of each electronic composition.

"Thoughts That Move" is the sound of Hunz evolving the themes explored on his 2008 debut, "When Victims Fight". First single "You Said Hello" skillfully contrasts sinister verses with an uplifting chorus, while "Car In The Meadow" will be accompanied by an intriguing animated video later in 2009. On stage, Hunz collaborates with bassist Phil Evans and drummer Richie Young on his devoted journey to the frail heart of pop music.

TOBIAS FISCHER - TOKAFI "It is neither forced experimentation nor a complex concept which holds these emotionally bipolar pieces together but the simple, yet hypnotically crafted rhythm of verse and chorus, as well as a voice capable of expressing discreet ecstasy and uncliched pain." ("When Victims Fight" album review, March 2009)

DENIS SEMCHENKO - RAVE MAGAZINE "Backed by a powerhouse rhythm section, the soul man/laptop wizard gives a glimpse of what Pivot could have sounded like if Richard Pike sang conventional lyrics; his expansive range, in-song vocal loops and sheer passion make for one memorable opening slot." (Live review, January 2009)

Toy Balloon Tour!
 
Brisbane outfit Toy Balloon will release their debut album Toy Division on November 8 through Lofly Records, and to celebrate will perform an east coast launch tour throughout November.

Formed in 2007, Toy Balloon was originally a fledgling two-piece made up by Nimai Etheridge’s uniquely melodic wall-of-sound guitar and Greg Cooper’s beautiful sequenced electronic compositions. The band have since matured into a four piece featuring Chloe Cooper (Mr Maps) on key boards and Ben Green on drums.

The album was recorded and mixed at the Lofly Hangar in Brisbane, a DIY performance space that Toy Balloon has been an integral part of creating. Fostering emerging artists and left-of-centre music, the Hangar acts as a performance space, recording studio, and meeting place; and has resulted in a record with a rich, layered sound reminiscent of New Order, Mogwai, Boards of Canada, and LCD Soundsystem.

Catch Toy Balloon launch Toy Division at a venue near you this Oct/ November.

TOY BALLOON TOUR DATES:

Brisbane- Thursday 29 October- The Zoo, Fortitude Valley w/ Moon Jog, Tin Can Radio and Doom Doom.

Sydney- Wednesday 4 November- ‘Upstarts’ at Spectrum, Darlinghurst w/ Convaire and Black Bear Brown Bear

Sydney- Thursday 5 November- Oxford Arts Factory, Darlinghurst w/ World Champion and others

Melbourne- Saturday 7 November- Pony, Melbourne w/ Love Connection and Aoi

Melbourne- Sunday 8 November- El Joyero, Melbourne

Toy Division is released November 6 on Lofly Records, with distribution through MGM.

Hi Hunz,

Hoping to see you at The Hangar in September.
I have enilsted Mark Dollin to mix my album off the basis of his work on "Thoughts the Move" I believe when he moves to Brisbane he owes you at least a beverage of some sort.

See you at the Hangar.

Hey what's up hunz? To answer your question, I'm doing great. It's crazy to think I'm about to be a dad! How about yourself? I haven't been on here much to see if you've created any more animations. How's the creative work going? Did you see my new animation, Little Ninja Project? It's on my profile if you want to check it out. Take care man.
