   About Kinematic; Kites - now on iTunes!

Kinematic - the indie band from Melbourne (not the branch of dynamics related to motion).


Described as the 'pinnacle of indie pop perfection', Melbourne's Kinematic have been receiving rave reviews in Australia and overseas since the release of their debut album Time & Place in 2005.

Their 'impossible not to adore' second album, The 38th Paralle, was released in May 2007 and covered the array of musical styles the band loves to plunder while continuing their unique sensibility for simple, stripped-back and singable pop tunes.

Kinematic are on the brink of releasing their eagerly anticipated third album, Kites, and the first single lifted from the LP, 5 O'Clock High, was just released as limited editiion 7" vinyl. One song could never personify what a Kinemtic album sonds like, but the new single indicates they have a new bag of sonic tricks to unleash when Kites is released later in the year.

Reviews of 'The 38th Parallel':


“…Their 2nd Album The 38th Parallel, is a beautifully constructed, impossible not to adore, wonderfully eccentric record, unlike anything you've ever heard before: simultaneously radio friendly and challenging, catchy and resonant. Which must be an extraordinarily difficult thing to achieve.”
Tony McMahon, Inpress Magazine, April 2007

Reviews 'Time & Place':


"This is a really good record, packed with fine, melancholic pieces of pop."
Jeff Jenkins, InPress Magazine, September 2005

"...a classic indie rock album"
John Kruczek, Indie Spin Zone, March 2006

"... their songs reflect a street-level worldliness that is stories away from Coldplay. Like Muse without the bombast, Kinematic show a breadth of style and complexity that is seldom achieved while attempting to write actual songs. With 'Time and Place', Kinematic have produced an assured and mature debut ..."
Luke McKay, Beat Magazine, October 2005

Live Review


"Kinematic were extraordinary. One of the top three bands I have seen at the Indie Initiative. A four piece with great three part harmonies. Acoustic guitar and acoustic bass, electric guitar and drums. Brilliant songs that swept me down to the front. Touches of Teenage Fan Club and other bands I couldn't name, but they added their own touches. You must see or hear this band."
Neil Wedd, InPress Magazine

G'day Come on down to the Tote on Sunday the 27th of September to celebrate the end of another Footy season. The back line will be ably defended by Gruntbucket. Coming off the bench to take their position on the wing are Dirty York. Winning the ball at all the stoppages will be the mighty mid field attack of The Get Go. They'll send the ball rocketing toward the fantastic forward line of Clinkerfield who are sure to kick a swag of goals. There'll be plenty of snags on the barbie to help with the hangover.

I am back in Melbourne on Wednesday night for a very special performance with the immortal Victoria Williams. We are playing The Empress Hotel in Fitzroy. It starts at 8:00pm. So come on down and spend an evening with us before Victoria bids Australia a reluctant fare-the-well and heads back home to the beautiful expanse of the Californian desert …
