i heart hiroshima Got it bad... got it good...
Following I Heart's fantastic national tour with in April The Grates where they sold buckets of the new CD, grafted themselves onto many a new friend and exposed themselves to a completely ridiculous outpouring of love and fanaticism in Newcastle... they quickly headed into the studio with this lineup for the first time to work with Magoo on a brand new EP (along with Bryce from Zero Interference). Susie, Matt and Cameron have fashioned themselves into tight bunch overflowing with creative excitement and musical fabrication... a winding thread of rock beat craze!
They formed in July of 2005 at a house party and reshuffled the lineup at the end of 2005 to Matthew Somers (guitar/voice) Susie Patten (drums/voice) and Cameron Hawes (guitar/voice). Drawing from a gamut of influences, including Sleater Kinney, TV On The Radio, Leonard Cohen, The Smiths, The Raveonettes, Magnetic Fields, Frank Black, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Walkmen, Slumber Party, The Pharcyde... the 'bass-less' line up of two guitars and drums immediately established a pretty distinctive sound, along with shared vocal duties from all three members. After a variety of local Brisbane shows they picked up guest spots in Brisbane with Deerhoof, Calvin Johnson, Broken Social Scene; and prior to the guest spot on the national tour with The Grates they embarked on a their interstate tour in February with Sekiden & Spod. After a great debut headlining show at THE ZOO in late June, things are live and well with plans underway to start getting an album together for early 2007 release.
