ACCESS ALL AGES Wednesday April 17th, 2012 With Ruth Mihelcic
It’s a sleepy kick off to Term 2 this time around, but nevertheless we’ve got a few things to keep you busy.
NANTES
SASKWATCH This fun-loving troupe are playing two big gigs in Melbourne. Now you know, don’t waste any time and get a ticket. Saskwatch’s I Get Lonely infuses their trademark brand of soul with some of that garage-pop we love so much. It practically breathes the air of the ‘60s with jangly hooks on a bed of upbeat textured rhythms.

Define your genre in five words or less: Middle Eastern/rock. What can a punter expect from your live show? An old ancient memory. Middle-Eastern influenced rock, merged with percussive, shamanic magic. Think soundscapes, darbuka, accordion, violin and vocals. What’ve you got to sell CD-wise? I just released my second EP The End Of The Divide Chapter 2, you can grab a copy at the launch, or go to kaisha.net.au. When’s the gig and with who? The EP launch with me and my band is on Saturday April 20 at the Wesley Anne, with support from Drummergirl Ensemble. What inspires or has influenced your music the most? Truth and feeling, bringing back that which has been forgotten, the ancient soul of our planet and how we all connect to her. Tell us about the last song you wrote. Shining The Light off the new EP. It’s about temptation and reconnecting with past love. Even though you feel like everything is against it, something in you knows this is the path you have to take. How do you stop your pre-gig jitters? Breathe. Anything else to add? If you never learn to howl you will never find your pack. Ahhhhhhhhhoooowwlllll!

ZOOPHYTE + TOM TUENA BAND Espy, St Kilda. 8:30pm.
Their singles Fly and Drones set the charts ablaze and caught the attention of critics and punters alike, so it’s no surprise their debut album Beingsbeing is getting a spin. Nantes kicked off on their national tour late last month, and are set to play at the Northcote Social Club on Friday April 19 with Battleships.
