NWA Podcast #10. Danger Beach, Live-to-air Performance & Interview

(July 2010) As far as new, weird Australian music goes, Canberra is fast establishing itself as 2010′s most interesting city – and in this NEW WEIRD AUSTRALIA podcast (originally recorded in July 2010), Stu Buchanan talks to one of its emerging artists, DANGER BEACH. Leaving behind the lo-fi punk noise of his ASSASSINS 88 project, DANGER BEACH explores the ground between noise and pop, attempting to “write songs that your girlfriend would listen to”. As well as chatting about his upcoming gigs and releases, DANGER BEACH plays four live tracks in the studio: ‘Lakes’ (featuring TV Colours on guest vocals), an Elvis cover ‘Blue Moon’, ‘Apollo’ and ‘Safe Home’

AMBROSE CHAPEL (QLD)

ANONYMEYE (QLD)
Anonymeye is the nom de plume of Andrew Tuttle, an experimental musician from Brisbane, Australia who reconfigures various country and folk musics within an abstract sonic framework, utilising electronic and acoustic instrumentation including acoustic guitar, signal processing, synthesisers, and effects units. Anonymeye straddles and blurs boundaries between improvisation and composition, experimentation and pop, acoustic and electronic, rural landscapes and urban landscapes. Anonymeye’s second full length album ‘The Disambiguation Of Anonymeye’ is out now on the sound&fury label.

ERASERS (WA)
Erasers are a new two-piece band from Perth, that started mid 2009 with Rebecca Orchard on vocals and Rupert Thomas on instruments. They formed with the desire to create and produce music completely on their own. With little recording experience and borrowed equipment, Erasers produced and released their debut self-titled release upon forming as a band. The result is songs made up of primitive & tribal beats, melodic guitar loops, atmospheric synth and chanting vocals; creating what has been described as dreamy yet somewhat disconcerting post-punk.

AMBROSE CHAPEL (QLD)
Ambrose Chapel is the solo project of Brisbane musician Ian Rogers (also of No Anchor). He is mainly influenced by The Melvins and is allergic to cats.
