Tourin' NOVDEC 2017 heavy dreamin' with partners in time... action!
- I HEART HIROSHIMA -
Someone cried action... and all falls from there.
From the recent release of latest EP "Dreamin' Heavy and the guest spot with Custard comes some further dates in this here freefall.
And finally falling into place... sparring partners for these southern shows.
In Sydney BRUISE PRISTINE - hailing from Sydney, the band revels in the intrigues of the dark, loud and vengeful, 90s alternative rock. Their debut EP Not Like You is a punch to the face of dark, brooding rock, exploring mental illness, the isolation felt by minorities, battered relationships and addiction in a way that simmers and offers intrigue. https://bruisepristine.bandcamp.com/
And V (Dero Arcade) - is the Melbourne based project of singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist V. The music is a hypnotising reverb-drenched web of darkwave music influenced by goth, punk and wave. V's new album SO PURE is coming out in 2018 via Dero Arcade. https://soundcloud.com/vlovescats
In Mebourne it's WET LIPS - If there's any hope for music as a force for social change, Wet Lips are at the front of the line. Since forming in 2012, they've been pillars of Australia's surging feminist punk movement, rallying ferocious crowds to their shows with songs that punch up with devastating accuracy. Wet Lips' self-titled debut is a mix of pub-rock guts and punk-rock sneer that charts the particular feeling of living in marginalised bodies, charging those bodies with the energy to kick back. www.wetlips1.bandcamp.com/
And SUSS CUNTS - suss band from Melbourne "laugh in the face of the male-dominated punk and DIY scenes". Suss Cunts cover themes of disappointment, illness, friendship and bad tastes in your mouth. Their presence on stage is powerful, explaining why this band has established a cult following of loving listeners. https://susscunts.bandcamp.com/releases

DREAMIN' HEAVY out there in digital.
Features BORN TOO LATE and ACTION...
https://ihearthiroshima.bandcamp.com/track/action
After Spillin' the Light in 2016, I HEART HIROSHIMA are now looking to the present and beyond: Dreamin' Heavy.
An exploration of fundamental frustration and disagreements with proven strategies. Recorded with Greg Jard, mastered at Chicago Mastering includes "One Click", "Key to Life", "Born Too Late", "Workin'" and a bit of a special closing track: the much anticipated "Action".
I HEART HIROSHIMA are a ragged joy of guitars and drums... since their 2005 dawn they've strung their self-styled way through some eps - 3 Letter Word for Candy; Cut in Colour - and two albums - Tuff Teeth; The Rip - along with numerous tours and festivals around Australia, Europe and Asia. Guest tour spots have included runs with Conor Oberst, Ratatat, Gang of Four, Shonen Knife, The Rakes, Peaches, Maximo Park, The Mint Chicks, The Grates, Regurgitator and more... Matt, Cameron and Sull set the pace for a new tune of episodes after teasing the possibilities in early 2016 when Sull returned from Berlin... subsequently recording an EP Spillin' the Light with Dubzy from Blank Realm. Riding a chasm of togetherness after an extended time apart inhabiting different worlds, since filled with life and experiences a new sensation rides high in the mix.
I HEART HIROSHIMA riding into town... APRIL 2017 dates
I HEART HIROSHIMA riding into town...
More tunes in the can... rattle it.
And racing your way when the gate opens.
After the recent Brisbane spree with Ian Svenonius's Chain & the Gang comes more romps in the night. Wild horses trail off in the distance and... Astral Skulls peel off for this ride into town.
Melbourne based duo ASTRAL SKULLS take the ennui of Australian suburbia and launch it into the cold vacuum of space. It's jagged no-wave post-punk, combining cosmic guitars, deep synth and beatbox drum patterns to create a 16-bit platform for stories from beyond the stars. The brand new Astral Skulls single What We Lost - mixed and mastered by Mikey Young - the first single from the new album, set for release in Feb 2018 and is available now via:
https://astralskulls.bandcamp.com/track/what-we-lost
www.astralskulls.com www.facebook.com/astralskulls
Joining the Sydney show are THE LAST EXPOSURE... a four piece from Sydney and Wollongong. They have played with Camp Cope, Cayetana, Columbus and Hands like Houses just to name a few. 2016 saw release two singles with a third single coming soon.

I HEART HIROSHIMA light in the tunnel this week. Spillin' light on SHOWS!
I HEART HIROSHIMA
This week sees I Heart trek beyond the confines of Brisbane for the first time in their second light.
And rollin' into Sydney with them on Thursday is guests YEEVS and SHADY NASTY.
Followed by Friday first venture to Melbourne at the NGV FRIDAY NIGHTS.
Brisbane follows. Info below.
The light pours out of thee... adding another dimension to the world of music they offered in their first life Matt, Sull & Cam drop some new sounds and new shows.
Always walking the edge of a chasm of togetherness... I HEART HIROSHIMA break like an intruder into the night with their emergence back playing after an extended time apart inhabiting different worlds. Teasing the possibilities with some jams earlier in 2016 when Sully returned from Berlin... subsequently lead into the more tangible: recording at Red Star with Dubzy from Blank Realm. The chasm since filled with life and experiences a new sensation rides high in the mix... and a new EP preceding a series of eventual such releases over the coming year.

Matt, Cameron and Sull set the pace for a new tune of episodes.
"To these ears, the result is a sound that's very "Brisbane": bright, trebly guitars with no effects pedals, strong pop melodies, unusual angles and lyrics and more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye, or ear. If you want to place it in a continuum of Brisbane music, it's the one that begins with The Go-Betweens debut, Send me a Lullaby." (Noel Mengel)
