My Drum Media Review of DCUP at the Aviary, Perth.

DCUP

THE AVIARY

1 June, 2013

The Aviary Rooftop Sessions have had some outstanding acts over the last few months, including triple j’s Linda Marigliano, alternative pop artist Andy Bull, and most recently DCUP: promoters Jump Climb know how to create a top-quality night by combining successful acts with the typical laid back atmosphere the Aviary provides with no entry fee.

Early in the night, DJs Troy Division and Paradise Paul graced the stage with some classic tunes to ease the fresh crowd into what was going to be a long-chill groove night. Full Frequency (RTRfm) co-presenter Micah then rolled out some subtle disco beats after 9.30. As the music was not too loud, it provided the punters the choice to either dance and/or socialise, which I found quite innovative for a music event.

Well known for his Yolanda Be Cool hit collaboration, We No Speak Americano, DCUP started off his set with some anticipated disco and funk-centered tracks. This did not, however, stop the youngsters from grooving on the dance floor. Although a he did have few mixing hicCUPs (pun intended), nothing was too dramatic to hinder the crowd enjoying themselves. The set was mixed up mid-way through as he included classic tracks such as Haddaway’s What Is Love (Baby Don’t Hurt Me) and Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel. Both of the latter were great choices, considering the popularity of these hit tracks with young people and those a little older, both demographics strongly represented on the night. Three quarters or so through his set, a wayward fire alarm went off downstairs causing a tiny bit of panic with the promoter as evacuation was looming. The problem was sorted not too long after, which was a massive relief for the promoters considering the crowd that they had pulled that night.

Being my first night to the Aviary, it was startling to see how the event created such an inclusive atmosphere. It was difficult to put the crowd into one particular age group or subculture and somehow the event went off without a hitch. All in all, these kinds of events continue to entice large crowds of people to leave their house and venture onto a rooftop in freezing conditions, so there must be something special about it.

Royston Vasie at the Newport Hotel Review for Drum Perth

ROYSTON VASIE

NEWPORT HOTEL

5 May, 2013

Gun Fever are behind the scenes of a lot of worthy bands, including the local bands Dead Owls and Mezzanine. As well as releasing some records, they hold music gigs for some great Australian bands willing to make the trek to Perth. On this particular night the Newport stage was graced by Royston Vasie free of charge.

In previous interviews the band have discussed other Melbourne bands that they like, such as Twerps, Eddy Current Suppression Ring and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Another to add to the list is the sweetly honest Courtney Barnett, who has been playing around Perth with the band on their national tour. The genre similarities between Barnett and the band have made it an easy transition to a live setting, as her addition on guitar made for an enhanced set. In turn their love of Australian rock and interaction with other local bands have influenced the sound that is now known as Royston Vasie.

The first song of the night, That’s My Girl showed straight off the rasping scream of the co-vocalists. Those vocal styles added to four-chord guitar strums – a sound reminiscent of the catchiness bands like The Dandy Warhols have mastered. The introspective All The Little Peoplewas thrown in the centre of the set, with eerie distorted chords in the intro to a resounding chorus. Likewise, the rest of the crowd was getting into the slacker garage band sounds. During All The Little People an unknown man had struck up a conversation with my friend, admitting he didn’t know who the band were and had just come in since he heard them from the bar. It didn’t even take a full song until he was nodding his head to the catchy melodies. Although there are major resemblances with chord progressions through many of their songs the variation lies within the dynamic wandering bass, making each of them memorable. After playing Pop Boutique they threw themselves into the familiar You Want It Now, a surreal feeling as it was one of my favourite songs of 2012. With the exemplary country foot stomps and head shaking it was hard not to remember the first time I heard this track or saw bassist Brad Hardingham’s little shimmy at the end of the accompanying video clip.

The night was a brew of long hair, Chelsea boot stomps and talented friends who had just tagged along for the tour. Gun Fever had once again put on some cool rock to finish off the weekend – just enough to give you some tunes to hum on your dreary Monday morning.
