The Faint supports announced
The Faint supports announced for Sydney and Melbourne!
The Faint has announced supports for their upcoming September tour and fans in Sydney and Melbourne will be equally chuffed.
Snaffling one of the Sydney spots is Spod, who claims to be over 1 Billion years old and describes himself as a “Conductor of Radness, Destroyer of Dreamz and Inducer of Fantasy.” Lying somewhere between the adolescent and the apocalyptic, Pomomofo will be also bringing their teen punk jams, PC speaker soundtracks and slamming techno raves to the show.
Partycore kids Young and Restless have jumped on board the Melbourne show. Smashing every stereotype they will no doubt bring their “thumping beats, perpetual abruptness and delicious riffs” – Inpress Magazine, to the party. Also along for the ride are the awesome Streetparty DJs, playing all the best dance anthems until the early hours.
Certain phenomena cannot easily be explained: the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51, the ingredients in a Chicken nugget, that sort of thing. But all of these assorted mysteries fall in the wake of the most inexplicable band taking the world stage today, The Faint…“Nothing about The Faint makes any sense and that just makes them better” – Rolling Stone. A group of circa-1981 synth-pop fanatics from the wilds of Omaha, Nebraska, The Faint act as if time stopped the moment Duran Duran broke big or "Tainted Love" was omnipotent.
In what will be the bands second only trip to Australia and with the pending release of their fifth studio album, ‘Fasciination’, prepare to brush your hair in your face, stiffen that collar, lose that facial hair and step back 20 years – into the present with The Faint!

NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB - 5th August
London club soda pop bonanza NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB are set to return to Australia this coming August, cantering through Sydney and Melbourne to perform 2 special club shows on this whistle stop tour.
With a live show that leaves punters with holes in their soles and horses in their hearts, NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB have become one of the most talked-about, must-hear, must-see bands to emerge from the UK in the last decade.
A glimmering highlight on our touring calendar over the past 2 years, NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB have been winning over Australian audiences since the release of their self-titled first ep and subsequent tour in 2006.
Their breakthrough ep was followed by the release of their swinging debut album, Fantastic Playroom, a 10 track ode to dancefloor sophistication and unrefined fun, with all the mambo this 3 girl / 2 boy monster can muster. Featuring the now classic Ice Cream, The Bomb, Get Lucky and 7 more sweet surprises, Fantastic Playroom was 2007’s no holds barred house party favourite.
Preceding their return to Oz this time round, NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB have partnered up with fellow Modular act MSTRKRFT to put their dancetopia touch to all the right places with a remix of the single - Get Lucky. The remix is a swift journey from the safe stables of the Pony Club straight to the dance floor – with cowbells in tow. MSTRKRFT, merchants of all things fuzz achieve the impossible in making the song even sexier, and will either make you fall in love with someone – or dance your ass off. Labelled by NME as 'the most euphoric pop music on the planet', NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB have wowed audiences worldwide with their own brand of sweet melodies and this track is no different – infectious, audacious and outrageous!
Get on board this August as the NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB machine returns to Australia with a show that explodes with the sights and sounds of pure sex and sonics, and fire and frocks.

VAN SHE PARTY - Fri 18th July
In preparation for their debut album release V this coming August, Sydney merrymakers Van She are ready to showoff their studio tans and kick out their newest jams on the Van She Party tour in July. A hybrid live/DJ tour, the Van She Party tour will see the smartarse gents not only showcase their new live set featuring tracks from their forthcoming album V, but also step out from behind the instruments to DJ some tricky techno and a selection of their globally notorious remixes.
For the tour, Modular and Van She have curated a night of performances and DJ sets by friends and comrades at every stop, designed to create the kind of frivolous, no holds barred party atmosphere akin to that of nights like Radio Soulwax, Trash and Optimo – where one comes for the music, but stays for the vibez, all night long.
Van She’s crackerjack new single, Strangers, is released just prior to the tour, on June 21, while V gets it’s long awaited release on August 9. Before then you can catch Van She spooning their electro psychedelic-stormers out by the mouthful this Thursday at a FREE GIG for Triple J’s Home & Hosed on Thursday 29 May at Sydney’s Annandale Hotel, the We Love Sounds Festival & support for The Bravery in June & climaxing with a slot at Splendour In The Grass in August.
Supporting the Van She Party nationally except for Queensland will be The Dirty Secrets, with the likes of Ajax, Dangerous Dan and Andee Van Damage signing on and strapping in for various stops throughout the party circuit. Tickets are on sale now.
