The Triangles are a five piece band from Melbourne, Australia, who started playing together in 2003. Their style is informed by many types of music including psychedelic pop, guitar based indie rock and 1970s folk. The Triangles independently released two albums of folky experimental pop in 2003 and 2004 before their first major release ‘Magic Johnson’ came out on the independent Australian label Half A Cow in 2005. ‘Magic Johnson’ featured a bunch of indie-rock singalongs, including the two singles ‘Applejack’ and ‘Let's Replace the Cityscapes’, which received radio airplay around Australia as well as being featured in MP3 form on numerous music websites around the world. The Triangles’ new album and fourth record overall ‘Seventy-Five Year Plan’ was released on Half A Cow on the 14th of April 2007. The record reflects the The Triangles’ previously latent interest in country-rock, while maintaining their focus on sweet melodies, unorthodox song structures and inventive arrangements. Sadly, the Triangles will not be playing live shows for the foreseeable future, as one of the band members is now living abroad.
Tomorrow night we'll be supporting the wonderful Perry Keyes, who has come down from NSW to launch his album. This will be our last Melbourne show for the year and we'd really love to see you there... even if it means giving up the lamb roast AND a date with Tom Cruise.
Sunday November 4 Duckdive @ The East Brunswick Club (280 Lygon St, East Brunswick) with Perry Keyes (NSW) $12 entry / Doors open 8pm
Hey Kath Triangle! Sorry to have missed you and Bianca last week - would have loved to have come. Saw Bianca with Owls of the Swamp at Gertrude's a few weeks ago - was a great gig. Anyway, let me know of future happenings, I'll see if I can make the next one! :)
I've only just discovered you guys but you've rapidly become one of my favourite bands. I'm going to miss not being able to look forward to a new Triangles album in the near future. But I really like the way you're committed to each other and have made this decision.
So good luck, keep us informed of any other musical ventures any of you may be involved in and thanks for so many great songs!
Heres to a short hiatus, have a fantastic farewell party and if any of you make it to Ireland the pints will be on me.
Nice meeting you too and thanks for gracing the kid sister's set with the sublime backing vocale and the sick glockwork! I checked you guys tunes yesterday night / this morning and wow, so great. Soundtrack to life type stuff if you know what i mean?
Yah the other thing about facebook I forgot to mention is that you can forget about any semblence of a sleeping pattern anymore so really don't join it (yet) It's not worth it... runnn
For now, stay three sided and with interior angles adding up to 360!

Triangles. There aren't enough words in the English language to describe how much we like you. One day we will form one giant band and take the Man-Choir to the world. Thanks for joining us last Friday.
Yay for songs with melodies! You guys are so much fun to watch when you perform and you have such a unique style. I shall name your style...spurky. It's spastic and quirky all mushed up in a bowl with a sprinkle of cinnamon for flavour. Mmm...flavour... Moving right along, love Cassie. (Julie's brilliant [and extremely witty] cousin.)
