Hydra Heads - The Beasts of Hobart Rock Invade Launceston
September 5th, 2007 by Chris Titmus
The Scientists of Modern Music
On the heels of their brand new EP, it’s clear as black and white that The Scientists of Modern Music are quickly cementing their reputation as one of Tasmania’s foremost bands. You’d better catch these guys as soon as you can because they’re sure to be lured by the fame, stardom, hookers, and cocaine that only music this good can bring.
Enola Fall
Self-styled indie ninjas, Enola Fall, brings the rock component of the night to the fore. Already a presence on the international stage, they’ll be sure to win new friends with their formidable, intense live performance. Their use of non-traditional instruments such as mandolin, double bass and baritone guitar ensures they’ll leave a lasting impression on Lonnie listeners.
Red Rival
If you weren’t already invested in a big night, then Red Rival’s guaranteed to give you that extra kick to keep you up all night. This three-piece may be light on members, but they’re big on sound – a sound that is already capturing the attention of national and international radio and audiences alike.
The Cityscape Riot
Rounding off the lineup is electronica-pop two-piece, The Cityscape Riot. Formed in February this year, their combination of organic instrumentation and electronic stylings ensure that the path forged by TSOMM is becoming more frequently travelled – but they’re no mere imitation. Truly beastly and totally rock, Hydra Heads is not to be missed.
