The Temper Trap 2010 TOUR

May 7th 2010 14:22
THE TEMPER TRAP
DEBUT ALBUM CONDITIONS REACHES PLATINUM!

Whilst it may come as no surprise to the Australian music loving public, it is with great pride and delight that The Temper Trap announce their debut album Conditions as having achieved platinum sales in Australia.

The widely acclaimed album spawned multiple hit singles, including Platinum single ‘Sweet Disposition’ and ‘Love Lost’ - both of which are currently in the ARIA Top 40. It debuted at Number 9 in the ARIA Top 50 Albums chart and is still currently in the Top 20 after forty five weeks on the chart.

The Temper Trap recently performed at the illustrious Coachella music festival in California, drawing a massive crowd and captivating the audience with ease and charm.

The band has also been confirmed to play at additional U.S. festival heavyweights Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, U.K. based Glastonbury and our very own Splendour in the Grass and are currently on tour across Europe and North America. Their recent and upcoming tour dates are all testament to their rapidly growing reputation as mesmerising live performers.

This July sees them returning to our shores for a tour of Australia & New Zealand and local fans and critics can’t hardly wait.

Often called 'The Ones to Watch,' Welsh three piece band The Joy Formidable are bringing their dreamy sound to The Temper Trap's Australian tour along with AMP Red Bull Award winners Oh Mercy. The Auckland performance will be opened by New Zealand natives The Naked and Famous.

The Temper Trap's Perth, Melbourne and Sydney shows have sold out and whilst tickets to their Adelaide and Auckland performances are still available now, these shows are sure to follow suit.

THE TEMPER TRAP
RETURN TO AUSTRALIA & NZ FOR JULY 2010 HEADLINE TOUR



At the start of this year The Temper Trap gave Australian and New Zealand audiences a taste of why they were one of the most talked about bands in the world last year with standout performances across a series of summer festivals. Fans clamoured for more and the band paid attention, making room in a hectic worldwide tour for July 2010 dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Auckland.

2010 is already shaping up to be a busy one, with The Temper Trap currently on tour across America. Conditions is sitting at #4 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart, while some of the biggest radio stations in the USA have set Sweet Disposition to high rotation. The buzz around the band is audible with a sold out six week US tour and appearances at SXSW, Coachella and Bonnaroo sure to earn the band even more supporters. Notably US music industry bible Billboard Magazine profiled the band in a double page ‘Happening Now’ feature in their February 20 issue, noting “The Temper Trap are shaping up to be the next big thing from Down Under.”

The UK story also continues to grow from their Top Ten hit with Sweet Disposition last year, with the band selling over 33,000 tickets to their UK tour, including an impressive three nights at Shepherds Bush Empire. The band are also headlining the Wireless Festival, as well as performing at T In The Park and Roskilde festivals.

Worldwide sales of Sweet Disposition have now exceeded 500,000, while album sales for Conditions have tipped over the 300,000 mark.

If The Temper Trap’s festival performances were mass sing-a-longs, then these July shows are set to take The Temper Trap to a whole new level with four acclaimed singles now under the band’s belts. Soaring Platinum hit Sweet Disposition, rocking tracks Science of Fear and Fader and the latest anthemic offering Love Lost are sure crowd favourites, while album Conditions has become a staple on iPods and radios across both countries.

With their album fast approaching Platinum sales in Australia there’s little doubt that The Temper Trap have won the hearts of music fans. Significantly though, the band have delivered more than just a standout debut album, with music critics praising the quality and energy of the band’s live performances.

“The Temper Trap execute their set perfectly…” J Mag, Australia, Feb 2010

““Sweet Disposition”…had the crowd swaying in unison and singing along” Undertherader.co.nz, New Zealand, Jan 15, 2010

“When the band broke into their signature hit Sweet Disposition the sardined mass roared and jumped up and down despite the searing heat.” Daily Telegraph, Sydney, Jan 23, 2010
“Album stand-outs Fader, Love Lost, Down River, Science of Fear and Sweet Disposition were all monster singalongs.” The Age, Melbourne, Jan 08, 2010

“The Temper Trap kicked off the day with a bang…[the band] have the energy and skill of bands with twice the stage experience.” 3 News, New Zealand, Jan 15, 2010



“Every year one band is too popular for the stage they’re on. This year it was Melbourne’s The Temper Trap…the reaction to British Top 10 hit Sweet Disposition was one of the first moments of the day, but most tracks from their debut album Conditions were singalongs including the stunning Love Lost.” Herald Sun, Melbourne, Jan 27, 2010

There’s little doubt that The Temper Trap’s upcoming July concerts are going to be must-sees on the 2010 concert calendar. Tickets for Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Auckland go on sale on Monday 29 March at 9am local time.

Pre-sale tickets will be available via frontiertouring.com from noon AEDT Thursday 25 March to noon AEDT Friday 26 March.

Tame Impala | May Tour

March 29th 2010 02:45
TAME IMPALA
INNERSPEAKER


DEBUT ALBUM OUT MAY 21 & NATIONAL TOUR

Modular announces that West Coast sonic wanderers Tame Impala will unveil their debut album InnerSpeaker on May 21, and are taking to the road in May for a National Tour.

It will be the first time much of the record is played live to an unsuspecting public and will showcase the gloriously dazzling results of one of planet earth’s most exciting bands absolutely going to town on their debut long player.

Following on from their debut, self-titled EP, InnerSpeaker is Tame Impala's chance to paint a far more extensive picture than before, and sure enough it redrafts the entire Tame Impala world as we knew it, into an explosive cosmic wonderland of ecstatic harmony and perfectly accessible journeys into inner space.

Recorded and produced by the band's own Kevin Parker with Death In Vegas’s Tim Holmes on the engineer duties, in an enormous mansion with 180 degree views of the Indian Ocean in the middle of buttfuck nowhere a few hours south of Perth, InnerSpeaker is ensconced with a kind of inspired vastness not dislike the place it was made.

It was then mixed in a completely different kind of nowhere, a log cabin surrounded by snow and deer in upstate New York, by renowned sonic maverick Dave Fridmann (MGMT / Flaming Lips).

Click HERE for your first glimpse inside the debut album, where magic and music abounds. with plenty more where that came from.

The resultant record will first be revealed with the single, Solitude Is Bliss, a joyous summertime romp through fields of honeyed harmony and crispy good times and is just the very tip of the amorphous cosmos that is InnerSpeaker.

InnerSpeaker is available for pre-order now from the Modular Shop (for local & international orders) and from Get Music in digital & physical formats (for Australians only).

Or as a special offer to live show fans, you will have an opportunity to pre-order the album with tickets purchased to the May National Tour.

BATRIDER are back!

March 28th 2010 07:50
Batrider are back in Australia following 2 years of gigs, new friends, wild times and happy accidents in foreign lands. After splitting time between London sublets and European adventures, and losing their USA touring virginity the equivalent of behind a bush at a party when you’re 16, Batrider have now decided to settle in... Adelaide. YES ADELAIDE! And with barely enough time to wash the lint-of-a-thousand-couches from their tired bodies, Batrider are hitting the road again embarking on their first Australian tour in years.

The Batrider Beaks Tour takes the band’s fourth release Why We Cant Be Together (2009) around their adopted home of Australia, and also sees the release of a limited run of live recordings made while in the USA.

The new live record reflects the band’s current 3-piece incarnation and is the most direct, dynamic, melodic, and unique to date. Those familiar with Batrider’s sound will find its most compelling qualities more than intact, with the guitar and vocals of Sarah Mary Chadwick marking themselves as more clamourous and emotive than ever, with Steph Crase (Birth Glow, No Through Road) on drums and summery melancholic harmonies, and Sam Featherstone holding the whole mess together on bass.

Nonetheless, it wouldn’t really be fair to let you assume that Batrider aren’t still really really loud, and quite possibly one of the most viscerally confronting bands you’ll ever experience live. Would it?

2010 is another big year for Batrider with a new release to add to their now extensive back catalogue, reconnecting with both Australian and New Zealand watering holes, not to
mention enjoying the plethora of exciting tourist locations Adelaide has to offer. Wink.

DANCE FLOOR RIOT !!!!

Spawned from the collective nightmares of music nerds and avant-garde dance instructors, 'The Barons of Tang' want to ruin you for modern music.

The Barons of Tang hitch up their sleeves and blaze across the tyranny of distance with their scorchin Dirt Fever Tour!

Leaving a trail of bruised and battered dance floors across the nation, the Barons continue their touring mayhem and step on stages at the Karavan International Gipsy Festival starring international band Besh o droM, Adelaide Fringe, Brunswick Music Festival, Byron Bay Bluesfest and all the way out to the Pinjarra to play the magnificent Fairbridge Festival the Barons are foot to the floor ‘n burning the rubber, churning up the miles to play a stage near you!

Lashing Tango, Rockabilly, Latin and Gypsy with breaks, hard hitting guitar riffs, double kick blast beats and massive horn arrangements The Barons of Tang serve up their molotov gypsy ‘deathcore’. With accordion, double bass, saxophone and Bass Clarinet to name just a few, the 7 piece Melbourne outfit bend traditional gypsy and tango feels played in the most inappropriate ways. The catchy tunes and punk ethos all tie together to mean one thing, dancing is inevitable!

The Barons of Tang have airplay on Triple J and community radio across Australia, and will launch their new EP Knots and Tangles in Spring 2010.

The Barons of Tang are now Don Carlos Parraga Garcia Rico Urunena Ijo Mal Parido: (Accordion, Vocals) Julian Cue: (Double bass, Vocals) Annie Pfeiffer: (Percussion, Vocals.): Sean Wyers: (Drums, vocals) and Aviva Endean (Bass Clarinet), Anna Gordon (Saxophone), Jules Brunton (Guitar)

On February 15 underground rock royalty and founding member of the Velvet Underground, John Cale, cut the red ribbon for Modular and Sydney Festival's Circa 1979: Signal to Noise with a Keynote speech at the Seymour Centre.


Hipsters rubbed shoulders with electronic pioneers in a packed out York Theatre as Cale showed off a few snaps and described working with the likes of Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Happy Mondays, The Stooges and LCD Soundsystem before capping things off with a mind blowing rendition of "Heart Break Hotel."

If you missed the speech or want to listen/watch it again, ABC's Big Ideas are streaming it online.

ART vs SCIENCE go GOLD

February 18th 2010 08:10
Fresh from loping in at #2 and #74 on triple j's Hottest 100, Sydney's ART vs SCIENCE have recently achieved Gold status in the ARIA Charts for their the eponymous debut EP (out through Green/MGM). The Hottest 100 result also effected the re-entry of the EP into the Top 5 on iTunes and back into the ARIA Top 40. It is currently sitting at no. 1 on the physical singles chart.

Falls Lorne 2009


Released last May, the independently-released 5-track EP contains radio favourites Parlez-Vous Francais?, Hollywood, Flippers and Friend in the Field. Its performance in the charts was no doubt augmented by the three piece's scene-stealing live show, which has seen the band play at countless festivals and sold-out gigs around the country over the past 12 months.


ART vs SCIENCE have again teamed up with producer/engineer Berkfinger and are currently in the studio writing and recording their anticipated debut long-player. The album - to be released independently through Green/MGM, with label services assistance from Parallel Management - is due out in June 2010. Keep an ear out for the first single in April.
