I meant to start this blog whilst I was travelling Australia, but I ended up being way too preoccupied with more out-door related activities and not bothering. So now I'm back working full-time what better way to procrastinate? And while I'm on the subject of our antipodean cousins; I'm off to see the Presets on Friday. Their new album Apocalypso (nothing to do with Mel Gibson's film or the ice lolly Calypso) was sent to me by my Australian mate Cayle this week and it's already one of my favourites of the year so far. Swirling 80s synths, haunting vocals and electro beats. Love it x[EDIT: A live review of the Presets gig can be found here. It was truly one of the best gigs I've been to and the sound at Digital is so crisp and powerful thank frig it wasn't at the BarFly as originally intended. "Mid-set they dropped the formidable electro wizardry of Are You The One? The strobe flickered. The lasers swirled. And smoke from an overworked cannon choked us - but we just about survived the apocalypse." Dominic Smith - The Argus.]
