SpaceManAntics are a band that really deserve a proper write up – which we promise we’ll get to someday very, very soon. But now it’s crunch time – defcon one – final answers – pens down – cone o’clock – etc, because they’re launching their ripper of a new album this weekend down in Melbourne.
Quick spiel on the album – it’s got amazing potential as the new Aus-psych record on everyone’s lips. While nobody cares about Tame Impala any more, while Cloud Control roll down the acoustic road, as Pond start charging more $$$ for their shows and as King Gizz gear up for a third album, Puraede’s Parade could be the next underground success in the biz. It’s spacey, it’s fuzzy, it’s groovy, its modulated to all buggery and its wholly, wholly accessible – a fucking dangerous combination if good songs have a tendency to worm their way into your head. If you’re not biting your lower lip and clutching that air-guitar during The Man From Mars, you’re doing something wrong with your life.
Starting this Saturday (15th Feb 2014), the Freemantle five piece gear up for a string of shows launching their brilliant odyssey, beginning at The Bird alongside Hunting Huxley, Leure and Rabbit Island. Check out the dates below if you can’t make it, but make sure to get on top of this band while they’re still playing $10 shows ($15 if you want an album too) and allowing you to stream their work for free. Literally can’t wait for these boys to make it up to Sydney.
