THE MEANTIMES

WEEKEND PEOPLE

RENEGADE ROBOT COPS

With cricket season over and their summer romances officially called off, The Mean Times have belatedly resurfaced into rockland with a killer new rhythm section and a stunning new smart casual wardrobe.

This time The Mean Times hit Yah Yahs, teaming up with their old buddies The Weekend People, and the Renegade Robot Cops, who came back from the year 2043 to teach us all about the future of law enforcement

Bringing to you a night of slacker geek indie punk garage rock, all three acts promise jangly, clean/distorted guitar music, sweaty shirts, bouncing gentlemen, the occasional windmill and the finest of catchy tunes. Come see the newer, meaner, Mean Times.

'EIGHT MILES HIGH"

A celebration of psych, mod, garage, shoe gaze and surf

THE INAUGURAL MELBOURNE EVENT featuring

THE DEMON PARADE

SISTER JANE

LOWTIDE

BURIED FEATHER

FLYYING COLOURS

DJS: ANDREW COATES & WES HOLLAND

Alien Lane Management are delighted to present the inaugural Melbourne instalment of the Eight Miles High mini-festival, a celebration of psychedelic, 60’s, surf, shoegaze and garage pop. Once again they've carefully selected bands that we love, that are doing something great…

The Demon Parade
The Demon Parade blend the heady sounds of 70’s psychedelia with the (slightly) more contemporary
drive of UK bands such as The Verve and The Stone Roses. Loud, hypnotic and psychotic, the band
combines powerful guitars with melodic harmonies mixed well forward, to create a summery vibe that marks them as a band of immense promise.

Sister Jane
Sydney’s contribution to the show is Sister Jane. Blending sixties blues and seventies psychedelic rock to produce a distinctive sound, their debut album Mercy showcases the band’s undoubted songwriting talents. The first single, Be Kind, swaggers like early Buffalo Springfield, country rock’n’roll with a British flavour. Think The Doors meets the Pixies… then prepare for a good time.

Lowtide
Lowtide bring all of the good parts of shoegaze with slight grunge undertones. Minimalist drums, crystalline and ethereal female vocals, shimmering guitars – there’s a fuzzy perfection in their unhurried pop songs that draws you in and keeps you hooked. Perfect, and we love them for it.

Buried Feather
Among Melbourne’s current crop of psych bands, Buried Feather have carved out a name for themselves. With their dark, hypnotic groove drawing comparisons to both the drone’n’roll of the Black Angels and the wah-heavy sludge of Dead Meadow, the band has a fantastic new single out now. Keep an eye out.

Flyying Colours
Rounding out the bill are Flyying Colours, whose low-fi, reverbed vocals recall early Flying Nun bands with a slightly noisier, splashy shoegaze grind. They might be new, but they’re good.

Special guest DJs include Andrew Coates (Black Cab) and Wes Holland (Sand Pebbles) spinning tunes for your amusement. Get there early.

Tickets are on sale now from Moshtix, and are strictly limited for $20.
