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.

Myspazz

astralwerkor  said about 5 years ago:

Haha, indeed switchy.


astralwerkor  said about 5 years ago:

I'm really enjoying this, very much. Limited edt. album too be released soon apparently. I'll have to keep a lookout.


astralwerkor  said about 5 years ago:

You know, its actually a little comparable to these guys i reckon, only less synth heavy.


astralwerkor  said about 5 years ago:

Krautrock too! I can see it getting repetitive, but i still like it.


astralwerkor  said about 5 years ago:

...good...

I hate french music.


astralwerkor  said about 4 years ago:

Its not French, just the name a_l. They're from Perth.


angelic_layer  said about 4 years ago:

pity..I like hating french music.


astralwerkor  said about 4 years ago:

Bump. finally got the album 555 (hi Carl!!!), and I'm fuck'n loving it.


Mr. Mister  said about 4 years ago:

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?


astralwerkor  said about 4 years ago:

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.


Mr. Mister  said about 4 years ago:

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.


Ben  said about 4 years ago:

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


Evelyn  said about 4 years ago:

Yeah they kicked arse. I love them. Awesome. Go see them when you can.


astralwerkor  said about 4 years ago:

Tops indeed, good to see they're getting some Baseball love.


kelele  said about 4 years ago:

i love them incredibly


Ben  said about 4 years ago:

at the Hydey!


astralwerkor  said about 4 years ago:

Hey, tops photos Ben. They really are a live spectacle.

FRENCH ROCKETS > NAIK > USURPER OF MODERN MEDICINE
at
Inaugural Freq.Convergence - The Bakery Nov.13

French Rockets have been locked away for the past few months writing and recording their sophomore long player and devising new ways to trip you out with their unique AV display.

With supports by NAIK, the upcoming Usurper of Modern Medicine and the Fractal Disco DJ's, Freq.Convergence will not only be the unveiling of fresh French Rockets sound material but also a new light and visual show.

The Inaugural Freq.Convergence is devised in conjunction with Steve Hughes, the Assistant Director of the acclaimed French Rockets film clip '1x1(2010 Redux)' and responsible for Tame Impala’s visuals on their recent tours.

True to the French Rockets ethos this will be a bonafide aural and visual spectacular.

Playing times:

7pm: Fractal Disco DJs
9pm: Usurper of Modern Medicine
10pm: Naik
11pm: French Rockets
12pm: Fractal Disco DJs

Facebook Event -> INAUGURAL FREQ.CONVERGENCE - SAT NOV 13 @ THE BAKERY

IronMic  said about 1 year ago:

scary good, seriously, fuck. that video is awesome!


bayoushoplifter  said about 1 year ago:

sounds like cloudland canyon or when primal scream had that chat from my bloody valintine in on the act


Mr. Mister  said about 1 year ago:

fuck, what is with FR playing and me being out of the city? spewing!

sounds like when primal scream had that chat from my bloody valintine in on the act

there's bits of that era scream yeah. thankfully they don't go the cheesy rave synth angle.
it's like they've combined the best bits of most my favourite bands, and come out with their own cool sound. favourite aussie band i'd have to say. when you see them live, you'll know it.


CarlosRockets  said about 1 year ago:

The '1x1(2010 Redux)' video is in the running for the Rage Top 50 videos of 2010.

If you dig the clip vote for it at:
ABC Rage Top 50 for 2010

Cheers


CarlosRockets  said about 1 year ago:

It has been a little over a year since we released '1x1 (Redux)' so we thought it is about time for another release. 'Mandy Summers' is available for free download from www.frenchrockets.com in either 320k or 160k MP3 format.

No registration, no sign-ups.....just download and enjoy.

The track can also be heard as a stream from the French Rockets SoundCloud page


CarlosRockets  said about 1 year ago:

Squeeze me thats 320k or 192k MP3 free downloads...not 320k and 160k


jahmee  said about 6 months ago:
