Monday
My Disco (Melbourne/AUS) & PTTRNS (Köln) & Backwards – My Disco have spent nearly a decade defining and refining their sound in a way that defies rock music’s most enduring tropes. Each new album finds them subtracting a little more, applying minimalist instincts to relentless, stripped-bare post-punk grooves. The result is a hypnotic, almost subconscious body music that lives and breathes with the persistent repetition of a heartbeat and the menacing precision of a sniper.
Tuesday

Saturday
Flylife presents: Dub Pistols DJ&MC feat Barry Ashworth & Rodney P – While their live show continued to whip up unbridled mayhem and build a healthy worldwide following through relentless touring, the records took their own path, moving swiftly on from initial big beat whoopee into celebrations of two lifetimes of musical obsessions, the reggae-punk implications of the Dub Pistols moniker just the launch-pad. The Dub Pistols’ punky-reggae party rages on, now doing damage with one of the year’s most potent musical brews, firing sugar-coated bullets at any recession depression. Their time has surely come.
This is Tmrw presents: Victories At Sea / Free School / Patterns
On the back of a breath taking slot at Off The Cuff festival, we welcome Victories At Sea to the This is Tmrw stage again. Described by many as a hybrid of Factory Floors dynamics and The National at their most anthemic, we’d add to this the dancefloor appeal of early Hot Chip and the rhythms of Movement era New Order. This is fake DIY – ‘Redefining ‘anthemic’ to suit their own brilliant mould’
