Knomy, did you drop the ball on this one? This is kinda up your ally methinks, although, on second thoughts, maybe its a little too something for you. Anywho, its good, check it out, Perth band, kinda psychadelic/trance/M83 type shit with a bit of a math-rock tinge in there somewhere.

Haha, indeed switchy.
I'm really enjoying this, very much. Limited edt. album too be released soon apparently. I'll have to keep a lookout.
You know, its actually a little comparable to these guys i reckon, only less synth heavy.
Krautrock too! I can see it getting repetitive, but i still like it.
...good...
...good...
Its not French, just the name a_l. They're from Perth.
Bump. finally got the album 555 (hi Carl!!!), and I'm fuck'n loving it.
you're on the ball! i only just found out about these guys, have seen them twice already and they are fucking great! they actually give me hope. where were they 8 months ago and how the fuck did you find out about them then?
They'd recently released 555 at that stage I think and I was listening intently on mysapce. I only got round to getting the actually album about 6 months afterward I've only seen 'em once, on NYE, but it was a fucking great show.
yeah NYE was the first time i'd heard of them, and i was only there that early because my friends persisted on hitting the bar early :-P glad i did. saw them last week at the hydey and they were even better. really are pretty unique. i'm going to have to get the album, can't stop listening to the myspace.
WELL! Baseball played with the French Rockets on Sunday at the Hydey, and it was awesome! A wholeistic experience or sight and sound indeed. They're also reasonably decent card players too
Yeah they kicked arse. I love them. Awesome. Go see them when you can.
Tops indeed, good to see they're getting some Baseball love.
i love them incredibly
at the Hydey!
Hey, tops photos Ben. They really are a live spectacle.

This band is ace! I just spent a very rewarding twenty minutes listening to their Mice-pace stuff. It's like ... um ... Wooden Shjips with synths ... Neu! with pompadours ... Stereolab with social misgivings ... Suicide with padded vests ... I dunno but it's great.
you're right Ron... they freakin rule
seeing you sun at northcote social and cannot wait. been waiting for a year now when i first heard 555. naw, its OVER a year. yay
We're heeeeeere.......
