The Siren Tower

There hasn’t been an Australian band like The Siren Tower in quite some time. That is, a band distinctly and unmistakably Australian. The country and culture that The Siren Tower celebrates in story and song has both dignity and conscience in tact. It is an Australia of Indigenous, convict and immigrant history alike, because that is the truth of things, and the truth always makes for a better story.

Neon Love

Neon Love originated from the dark depths of Ballarats sweet ass music community. Over the past two and a half years Neon Love have developed their repertoire of music through adapting different genres of music and various cliche'd teenage life experiences like girls, parties, no doze, cough meds, sneaking out late at night, holding hands, love and lust and all that lame stuff. They have trashed their equipment at various notable snobby private schools and copped a lot of sh*t from a certain w*nker named Toff (apparently a joy division fan, but cant take it when some one convulses on stage).

Lumiere
