Wind & Brackets. One sings, two guitar and hit keys, one slaps bass, one hits drums. We do this together and we like the sound that happens. Some other people we know said they like the sound that comes out as well so we kept doing it. We've been doing it for longer than a little while
We like bands.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW...
National and international supports = The Stranglers, Art Brut, The Cops, Sparkadia... etc
We released our first 2 track AA Side single digitally around the world. The title track of the AA Side, Nu Nu (Za Za) (pretty shit), but was added to the playlist on Triple J and also received airplay on influential Los Angeles radio KCRW and Indie 103.1fm. The band was also featured as part of a Triple J Unearthed ABC TV special in late 2007 - nice.
January 2008 - Wind & Brackets went to Applewood Studios. "Hey Magoo, what's up?"..."Not much guys, I hear you use keys now. Awesome. Now let's lay this shit down!". So ‘Fire in the Ocean’ was born, hit stores like JB Hi-fi through great distributors like MGM and went black like the inside of a coffin on a moonless night. ‘Break the Glass’ = added to Triple J radio nationally and continues to be played on that sometimes and on awesome stations like 4ZzZ and other community radio.
I really dig this song - w&b's ep is really strong, but this is a standout. damn brisbane keeps pumping out the gold at the moment… Nick Findlay, triple j - Wow... thanks Nick Findlay!

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.

Like you, we did some recording too! but we're not your band, we are Bloody Roo! Who are they you ask? What kind of music do they play? We play music really fast and our instruments a funny way. Check out our tracks and tell us what you think, but a word of warning first, do tell us that they stink!!! (Cause they don't!)
Cool, we'll be promoting our new album on that tour, which we are recording over november/december/january. We will prolly be up brissy way around the 4-6th of feb or the week after, so maybe we could try coincide a double launch or something?? maybe... or even coinciding a few dates up your way and a few down our way? we'll be heading from brissie to tazzie, maybe even a tour together! haha... just throwin around some ideas.
we wont be playing any shows in december cos matman, my drummer, will be overseas for a month or so, but if you guys need any help hooking up venues or local supports i'l happily help out.
Hello Wind and Brackets, thanks for your add its good to know more people support us than just us and a few friends. I can take you out on my boat one day, when it gets a bit hotter. Thankyou mate, cheers.
