Sounds LikeRecent Press:

"The result (in 'No Shame') is lean, but still sumptuous, concise in its emotional and musical coding but it still stretches on: arpeggiated guitars match up to a dark, pulsing bass beat, giving ‘No Shame’ an engaging sense of propulsion." - Lawson Fletcher, Mess and Noise

"The word is spreading around triple j about this band. And on the strength of this track (Empire Falls), for good reason. Touches of Arcade Fire, Bowie and a lovely little xylophone." - Richard Kingsmill, Triple J

"Simply, this song (Empire Falls) is a celebration. It rumbles, twinkles, and stomps; there's a lot going on but you don't notice it, you're too busy enjoying the ride! And it WILL have you singing along...."falling, falling, falling...something, something, furthest corner of the former empire..." Great stuff!" - Caz Tran, Triple J

"It's a thrilling beginning for these guys - full of creative savvy and hopeful hearts - and I wish there were more bands in the country that sounded so sincere." - Beat Magazine

"...a sound as diverse and inventive as sextet Plastic Palace Alice is the type that cuts through hype and hyperbole and makes people listen." - Wireless Bollinger

"...lush, dense...stunning, theatrical..." - Beat Magazine

"Plastic Palace Alice is set to modestly sneak up behind us and let out an eye opening "boo!". Reflecting a diverse number of influences, their music glistens and booms its way into your heart. The band's latest single Empire Falls would turn Rome's bloody topple into a cascading flow of refreshing bloom...I can't wait for the album." - The Sandwich Club

"Some songs have a nice beat" - Rob's mum

FREE ENTRY 9pm

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 !
