   About The Waterslides




New music brewing in the pants of SA: Meet THE WATERSLIDES.

They make euphoric sample-based pop. The group appeared in early 2008, supporting Modular thoroughbreds Van She and Bumblebeez; opening for Dukes of Windsor; remixing Gerling frontman Darren Cross and locals Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!; and learning how to name-drop. They secured spots at festivals like Big Day Out 09, Parklife, St Jerome's Laneway, and most recently Big Day Out 09.

On stage the Adelaidian six-piece delivers a dense wall of delirious, melodic house-hop-disco-dance-pop at deafening volume. Founding members Luke Eygenraam and Tim Whitt strive for “the energy, chaos and punck-rock spirit of history’s best live acts.” Ably assisting the core duo are loved friends and flatmates Tim Harper, Scott Somerville, and Jimmy Boss.

Witnesses report a sensory onslaught somewhere between Daft Punk and The Flaming Lips … there’s nary an angular haircut to be seen, yet it rocks like a motherfucker.

The Waterslides' debut EP is planned for release later in 2009.

FROM FASTERLOUDER.COM.AU - "The Waterslides presented their style of peculiar remixed songs that exude vigour and make you just want to get up and boogie even if you are not usually that way inclined. Each band member, with the exception of the drummer, got up on the podium in front of the stage one at a time and did some freestyle dancing. Their show, although short, was jam packed with smoke machines, spontaneous group jumping, an impersonation of a burlesque dance thanks to one of the main singers and even a bubble machine..."
