Hearing Laura Marling sing, it's hard to believe she's just eighteen years old. Having been compared to her folk heroes Joni Mitchell and Carole King, as well as Kate Bush, her deft, cool phrasing is suggestive of someone who has a story to tell, and knows how to tell it. Her debut album 'Alas I Cannot Swim' has set critics and fans across the world whispering her praises.

]]>Ex-MGF drummer Glenn Abbott shows us what he’s been up to since MGF broke up. Abbott’s new synth/dance/rock band Super Massive play at the newly launched Will & Toby’s Taylor Square on Friday 18th May, in the Supper Club.
Will & Toby's Taylor Square is a multi-million dollar revamp of the old Oxford Hotel, where the infamous and much loved Gilligan's once was. (Aaah, how I used to love the mudslide cocktail they did there, back in my podium dancing days.) The room's been completely decked out with incredible surroundings including a four-story gothic fairytale backdrop, a floating jade ceiling and 5 metre leather chesterfields for all to lounge upon. It's a decadent, brand new venue and it only just opened last week.
Super Massive is a love affair of funky dance-able grooves and synth-based pop rock, mutually shared by drummer / producer Abbott and Malina, a Sydney singer / performer who came to the project creatively invigorated by a year spent pulling beers in a London music venue, travelling in Spain & Mexico and studying performance in London and New York.
Teaming up in 2005, the duo spent a year musically exploring and writing before teaming with electric bass genius John D. Young (Chuck Berry, Marcia Hines, Vanda & Young and .. almost Prince – John turned him down), who brought a treasure trove of extra groove, sex and sweet bass licks to all the songs. Young talent Matt Campbell joined them on guitar.
Super Massive’s music is thrilling get-up-and-dance and sing-along-at-the-same-time rock. A heady brew of tasty playing and exhilarating grooves, with plenty of variety in the songs and sounds. It reveals it’s roots here and there, with flashes of 70s rock, glam rock, cock rock, 80s electro and irresistible disco, yet without ever sounding purely retro. It’s a dark pink sunset. It’s a bonfire on the beach. It’s an intimate moment on a laserbeam shot dancefloor. It’s fresh as a snowflake and as black as your soul.
The band has been in the studio recording for some months, and is looking to release something later in the year. Whilst performing a recent opening slot at the Bridge Hotel in aid of a friend’s album launch, Super Massive impressed one of the bookers of the new Will & Toby’s Taylor Square. After catching only two songs of their set, the band were asked to headline The Supper Club at Will & Toby’s Taylor Square on Friday 18th May. This is a great chance to sneak preview the new tunes, and check out / support an exciting new venue while you’re at it. For more information go to: http://www.myspace.com/supermassivesounds
]]>This is our live show alert. We have two shows this month. They're both supports, but they are special gigs nonetheless, as we are good mates with members of the headline bands for both of these shows, so we're looking forward to a good vibe and having some FUN.
Saturday 21st April - The Bridge Hotel, Rozelle - CD Launch for Daddy Frisco
Saturday 21st April our friend Chris Feegs has asked us to open up for his band Daddy Frisco at The Bridge Hotel, Rozelle, to help them celebrate the launch of their new EP “Beautiful”, which will be out on Waterfront Records. We're on early – 8:30pm – and looking forward to lending our support to the guys. Champagne Shoes (that enthralling, satirical, musical lovechild of 3K & Vash) is the main support act, for those who enjoyed seeing their hilarious music & theatrics brought to life at the Hopetoun at our last show there, and would like another dose. There’s also an after-destination, tbc on the night, where Glenn (from Super Massive) will be doing a drummer vs dj slot, for those who want to carry on from rockland into clubland once the party starts to wind down at The Bridge.
Sunday 29th April - Annandale Hotel - 3 x Rock/Synth bands with Female Vocalists.
Then on the following Sunday, the 29th April, we’re very proud & excited to say we’ve been invited to join a bill of rock bands fronted by female vocalists. The night was put together by Coke Live’n’Local winners Krill, who have become wonderful friends of ours since the first time we played together, and are dedicated fellow arbiters of the synth-rock genre. There are four girls in their band actually, but, agreeably their music is every bit as much ear-candy as their gorgeous selves are eye-candy : ) Some of you would have seen them at our Spectrum show, fresh from a tour of Germany and the east coast.
Sunday’s show is at The Annandale Hotel, and it starts EARLY, being a Sunday. 6pm doors open, and it’s all over by 9:45pm, well early enough for everyone to enjoy the show and still be home and tucked into bed at a very reasonable hour. The Dirty Arrows are opening up. Check ‘em all out! We’re looking forward to this show!! Stick it in your calendar, in your diary or write it on your palm or whatever and spread the word! ‘cause it’s a bloody big room to fill and the more people we can get along, the more likely we all are to get laid, or to get Glenn and/or Yashi to do the robot. Ha ha! We're on main support so we can stick around and chat afterwards - new Myspace Friends, please come up and say hello! Krill are putting up a lucky door prize and there will be other giveaways on the night. Possibly a ceramic hair-straightener, we’ve been told. We think it’s pink, but there'll be no discriminating since we all know how sexy guys look with the smouldering Italian Vogue, sex-rocker, tarzan-locks look. (It’s a look Glenn manages every day when he rolls out of bed. He was just born rock&roll.) Might mention also there’s a very good thai restaurant there at the back of the Annandale, if you’re as lazy as we are about cooking on a Sunday night. We recommend it with gusto. Not sure about the Beerzooka, although it does need to be seen.. If we drank one I think you’d see our bazookas.
