This shit is old school, good loud tones, scream your lungs out, and reminisce about how good music can be totally assault your ears, stuff. His energy is contagious, both on stage and off and the rest of the band feed off that and the whole thing together is just an awesome mashing of sweat and sound and visual dichotomy. James Cain, lead singer of the band, is one passionate musician, charismatic and ready to squeeze your face off (in a loving, huggy way). The foursome completes the whole experience with some eerie green masks and white hazmat suits. 2 guitars, some heavy bass and a very tight drum sound (think marching band). Together they bring an almost clean punk, mixed with electronic vibe. The same energy filled the room and it could be attributed to the fact that these guys are veterans in the Melbourne music scene. Ahhhhh that sweet sweet music nostalgia.įlash forward to a recent gig, Smashfest at Bombay Rock in Brunswick, where I caught Melbourne band DevilMonkey. Music was loud, venues were packed and oceans of humans moved to the same rhythm under a cloud of smoke and sweat. The same bands would play a few times a week and you never tired of seeing them smash out the familiar tunes.
Pubs covered the city and there was so much happening you could literally walk from venue to venue and catch some brilliant live music. ‘Our hope is that people feel fidgety when they listen to us & want to move in both an emotional & physical sense’Īnyone my age will remember the spectacular live scene in Melbourne in the 80’s.
