"As Twist Oliver, Twist!’s set proceeds, I’m impressed by the band’s intentional ignorance of the several hundred eyeballs focussed on their captivating brand of synth-rock. It’s likely that they’re playing the best show of their short career, but beyond an occasional muttered “thanks”, they’re happy to let their music speak for itself. I’ll draw the short-bow by noting their parallels to the Midnight Juggernauts – clean, punchy basslines, swirling synth sounds and an animated drummer – but their performance tonight is engaging enough to step outside of casual comparisons."
We are 3 boys and a man who in our spare time enjoy dabbling in dark and melodic movement based music.
Since August 2007, we have played alongside DATAROCK (Norway), The Bravery (NYC), Young & Restless (Melb), Van She (Syd), Grafton Primary (Syd), Dardanelles (Melb) & many other talented local acts. We have also played at a few festivals, most notably at Parklife 2007.

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.
