HARLEQUIN LEAGUE SET TO WOW EAST COAST, AGAIN AND AGAIN


With their debut EP We Used To Be Gods, Now We're So Plain, featuring new single Again and Again having already been picked up by triple j, Harlequin League has been announced as one of triple j's Next Crop feature artists as part of Aus Music month; joining a select few group of hand-picked and on-the-rise Australian artists including the Temper Trap and Leader Cheetah.


Care for seconds? Harlequin League has also just been announced as a nominee for the prestigious J award in the Unearthed category, alongside Art Vs Science, Cassette Kids, The John Steel Singers, Numbers Radio and the City Riots.

To celebrate and spread the good word of the ‘League, the Perth natives are bringing their face-obliterating, post-disco synth punk back to the East Coast for two whirlwind shows at MUM at World Bar in Sydney on Friday 5 December with the Small Hours and Winter Street, and at WOW at Geddes Lane on Saturday 6 December with support from Super Fun Happy Band, Cast And Crew and Killbots.

Harlequin League recently wowed audiences across the country supporting End Of Fashion throughout September, and come fresh from a string of WA dates with Children Collide. Don’t miss your last chance to see one of Perth’s newest and finest exports at peak form in 2008 before they explode into the stratosphere.

José González | Tour February 2009

November 24th 2008 06:10
José González
Australian Tour February 2009


In a live setting José and his band are nothing short of mesmerizing, and they return to Australia in February 2009 for a run of intimate theatre and small venue shows.

José González



The music of José González is hardly reminiscent of fireworks and confetti, but that is exactly how his last two albums have been received all over the world. His low-voiced, serious and introverted music has been hugged to death by everyone from the indie crowd to grizzled old folk fans, resulting in gold record sales, festival appearances and several sold out tours in Australia.

In his teens José learned to play classical guitar, but it was some time later whilst serving a tenure in a couple of hardcore bands that he began to produce his own amazing spin on introspective acoustic music. This range of expression, or perhaps better explained as this contradiction in expression, says a lot about José as a person, and about his music. On the one hand it's very accessible, beautiful and speaks easily, and on the other it has a darkness and seriousness that often borders on what might be considered unhealthy.
