The Thousands

The planets have aligned to bring Full Fucking Moon into clear view of the naked eye this Saturday night, from the unlikely vantage point of The Old Bar dance floor. Joined by Satanic Rockers, The Jackals and Asps, NZ’s genre-embracing cosmic trio radically fuse elements of many to create the sensational self-coined ‘Shaggs of neolithic heavy metal disco’. Uniting in a rare interstellar constellation. Droszkhi (Torben Tilly) and Riffkah (Bek Coogan) have washed ashore from a murmuring island rich in rainfall while Electric Bongo Bongo (Steve Heather) has beamed his way directly from efficient Berlin. With the express purpose of leading you on a sonic exploration into deep space. In Melbourne touring their timeless 12", Still Life With Black Light, produced during a residency in Worpswede, Germany. An atmospheric vinyl disc that, when played right, hypnotically releases ethereal radiophonic mist, rising from a molten river of rumbling rocky riffs which, while dormant, lie housed within a series of concurrent circular grooves. Prolonged listening may awaken the age-old revelation that, solid as matter seems, it is actually made up of myriad rhythmic jittery harmonic sparkles. – CA
