Album Of The Week- Underground Lovers,Leaves Me Blind

Something like the Church playing shoegaze with a touch of electronica

Spawning out of Melbourne in the early 90's, The Underground Lovers play a version of Alternative rock (a term too easily thrown around) that makes heavy use of electronic drums and synth with some ethereal/noise guitar to create a huge diversity across the album.Leaves Me Blind was released in 1992 and brought the band considerable success overseas with their ability to use popular elements from multiple genres. From the extensive electronic drones,across upbeat,guitar driven tracks through to the calm,introspective 'Ladies Choice', there's a bit in here for everyone. Recommended for fans of The Church,Splashdown and Ride.And on that note,the band are joining former Ride frontman,Mark Gardner for a national tour in early August.With a new album in the pipeline,the first since 1999,there's never been a better time to give them a listen
Eastside Stories- A ripping opener that drops into the abyss

On another note,I will be piecing together my half drunk scrawlings from Hollow Everdaze's gig at the Evelyn last night to bring you a live review in a few days.
Doomers- Om's Advaitic Songs is just a few days a way.That gives you time to listen to two tracks of their before it's out.
