A show and a video for MEIBO
Many Are Here, Underlapper, Piers Twomey, Scissor Lock
Excelsior Hotel, Surry Hills, Sydney 27.02.09
Armed with a raft of new songs and evolving renditions of older tunes, we begin yet another return to the live arena with a show at The Excelsior Hotel, Friday 27 February 2009. Supported amiably by the downbeat post-rock of Underlapper, local troubadour Piers Twomey and Scissor Lock's sonic ambience.
Doors at 8pm, entry is $10.
Meibo - The Video
The promotional video for Meibo adheres to a simple and pure aesthetic of; shoot, grade, cut. Shot on 2 crystal sync super 8mm Beaulieu cameras with widened gates that effectively give you "super" super 8, Vincent Taylor and Paul Williams have captured raw footage on location at Callan Park Mental Hospital, of the five-piece at work with this blistering performance clip.

A new review
MANY ARE HERE - Many Are Here (EP)
There's a strong "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" period Genesis feel, aesthetically at least, to this record, though at other moments there's the insistent downstroke guitar of early Cure and the harmonies of the wonderful yet sadly forgotten Christians, particularly on the opening track, MEIBO. The more ambient side of Peter Gabriel is to the fore on REIGNED and especially RED & ORNATE, while the nearly eight minute WESIR delves deeper into the emotive possibilities of subdued exploratory soundscapes, darkly churning, tensely meditative, distantly intimate. I'm clearly looking forward to a full album.
