   About SPUN RIVALS


"Spun Rivals (EP) is a nifty display of hooks, jaggered riffing and displays a promising future for this style of song writing. It's not punk, nor rock, nor pop—but a little of each. Post-punk indie new-wave is what the press release says, and as broad as that sounds, it feels kind of appropriate."
Single Review, Melbourne Arts .Net


"World class electro punk"
Single Review, Beat


"a raucous take on Brit-Pop, laced with an ethos of experimentation and electronic malfunction."
Single Review, Beat


"Spun Rivals left their audience speechless at the sheer energy and brilliance that possesses the band. From the lyrics to the songs themselves, each one is crafted meticulously into an epic experience"
Faster Louder Live Review


"Spun Rivals. Blew.Me.Away! The trio were power-charged, ripping through 45 minutes with the level of energy never faltering. The Scott and two Aussies stage-graced with loud, wirery guitar reminiscent of At The Drive In at moments, while channelling the pop sensibilities and biting lyrics of The Clash"
Live Review, Alexandra for nickjamvendetta


"(Spun Rivals) delivered powerful indie-rock made up of killer hooks, interesting storytelling, and talented performing"
Faster Louder Live Review


"an army of noises when seen live look like a series of science experiments."
Faster Louder Live Review


"distinctive live performance presence that is reminiscent of Franz Ferdinand."
Faster Louder Live Review


"energetic, Brit-rock influenced, half-danceable/half-moshable sounds"
Live Review, not that you asked for my opinion


"This is one band you will hear more about in days to come."
Live Review, Faster Louder


“(Short Player of the Month) the best of the bunch is… (Spun Rivals EP)... an absolute stunner.
Single Review, Steve Scully, Wireless Bollinger

"Rich Davies, the missing link between Elvis Costello & Damon Albarn"
The List (UK)

THE RUBYS FIRST BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA - 4 MORE SLEEPS

One year ago, on a lonely Wednesday evening at a forgettable Collingwood pub, The Rubys played their first gig. Twelve months on, the three scrappy-looking lads have under their belts better songs, more gigs and are infecting Melbourne audiences with catchy, raw, stomp rock n roll pretty much weekly. So to mark the milestone of reaching the ripe old age of one, The Rubys are celebrating with a birthday party! With around 40 gigs down over the previous year and a wildly raucous live set, there has been a lot of jumping around and beer consumed so this Friday at the Old Bar will be no exception. Expect some wild blues-driven sets by The Volatiles and The Bellows to warm things up, and the boy’s favourite two-piece The Cheats bringing it all home. 8:30 start, $8, Party hats provided.


 

Hope to see you down there and we can all rock out!!

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.

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 !
