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.

hey dude. Glad to hear you've got some new stuff coming out. Looking forward to it.

No vocoders in crumpled funk just lots of manipulation in simpler and effects.

I was completely unaware there was a serato god but now that I know I shall make a shrine and offer sacrifices in order to make our beats fresh.

let me know when your new shit drops.

peace.

Looking forward to hearing some of your new tracks.

Keep up the good work.

This will be one of, if
not the last gig we will be doing for the year as we will be

We will be joining the mighty Eloquence and Truths this time
around at the Irish with our good friend DJ Ramrod spinning records
all night. Eloquence and Truths have had a meteoric rise through the
ranks having played and toured with the likes of Funkoars, Drapht,
Muph n Plutonic and more, they are set to rock the spot in a major
way.

Also joining the bill for
the night will be Brisbane emcee Tenduckets and Joey Cincere.
Tenduckets aka Tendancee has built a name for himself rapping with
powerhouse Brisbane hip hop crew Pure Product. His solo set is sure
to get heads nodding and bodies bouncing. Do not miss it.

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.
