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.

The Lowdown are set to bring the house
down at The Joynt once again Friday September 4. This a free entry
event and judging from the last couple of shows TLD have done there
you best arrive early and in the mood to groove. Music will kick off
at 9 with Nicole Mcintyre doing a mellow set of acoustic tunes to
ease you into the night. The Lowdown will take the stage around 10
and will be playing an extended set encompassing some new material,
freestyles and improvised jams.

Don't miss this as it will be a night
to bne remembered.
