\nNEW WEIRD AUSTRALIA presents
\nPAINT YOUR GOLDEN FACE (Hobart)
\nALPS (Newcastle)
\nCAUGHT SHIP (Melbourne)
\nKAROSHI (Sydney)<\/strong>
\nSATURDAY 27TH MARCH 2010
\nSt Petersburg, St Peters, Sydney
\nNEW WEIRD AUSTRALIA presented its first live event for 2010 on Saturday 27th March, featuring four acts from three states, held at St Petersburg in St Peters, Sydney.
\nHeadliners PAINT YOUR GOLDEN FACE<\/strong> are a two-piece from Hobart who make music with choirs, drum\u00a0loops, vocal loops,\u00a0organs and tape loops. \u00a0Following last year\u2019s three-track single \u201cHe Was Run Off The Road By His Amazing Face\u201d, the band appear at New Weird Australia to promote their self-titled debut album, released this month on Tenzenmen Records.
\nNewcastle\u2019s ALPS<\/strong> (aka solo artist Chris Hearn) play textured pop music with elements of shoegaze, folk, psych and drone \u2013 centred around analog keys, clean guitars, reverby vocals, drum machines, field recordings and pedals. Since 2005, ALPS has independently and through different labels internationally released three albums, two EP\u2019s and a variety of 7\u201d singles and splits. The new album, \u201cAlps of New South Whales\u201d is out now.
\nMelbourne\u2019s CAUGHT SHIP<\/strong> developed from the Ben Pat, a.k.a Ben & Pat, two men with a mutual enjoyment of sweet hip hop beats and delay pedals. Later adding Jon and Kahli, Caught Ship continued to develop their sound; and have since been working towards carving their own style in a live setting. A new recording from CAUGHT SHIP appears on NEW WEIRD AUSTRALIA Volume Five.
\nKAROSHI<\/strong> is Sydney based musician, Beres Jackson who plays a mix of melodic downtempo folk-tronica, fused with Berlin influenced glitch-techno. 4-4-2 Music will be releasing Karoshi\u2019s debut\u00a0album during 2010 which sees an expanded approach to his sound, with additional input from his live band and other collaborators.<\/p>\n
