Musicadium’s WITH DIGITAL LOVE Events are now an institution. A tried and true party, always with amazing acts, great vibe and lounging relaxation of the BarSoma surrounds. Why should this one be any different? Saturday May 29th sees BarSoma once again hosting the Digital Distributor’s contribution to the Brisbane live music scene, with a night of dance and rock acts, followed up with DJs to see the night through to completion – or sunrise, as it were.
Once again, the Musicadium staff has curated the lineup of the night and hand-picked (from thousands of acts on the roster). Leading the night is Gold Coast’s ELKE, amply backed up by party act The Beligerents and opening the night My+Escapade.
A new feature of the nights will be 3 DJs to see the night out, yet to be announced and shrouded in mystery, but sure to amaze, playing a variety of indie classics, disco burners and dance floor igniters! Watch this space for more details on celebrity DJs and local legends!
ELKE was designed as a response to what it’s four members wanted so badly to hear in the QLD music scene. Beginning in late 2007, the boys spent close to six months simply as a recording band before their first gig amongst the Queensland finalists of the MTV Kickstart competition. It wasn’t long before people started to take notice of ELKE’s infectious self-produced recordings and the shows began to line up around the block. Having shared the Goodvibes stage with acts such as Chromeo, The Presets, and Fatboy Slim, ELKE have also played support slots for international groups, Datarock (Norway), Ratatat (USA) as well as Australian wunderkinds, Grafton Primary, Van She, Lost Valentinos, and Art Vs Science.
The Belligerents are a new-age dance punk five piece and their fast-paced, high-energy live shows will spawn a dance frenzy of epic proportions. Their message is communicated via an avalanche of catchy pop hooks, 80’s synth fun, dance heavy bass, high tempo drumming, loud cow bell and guitars that sing. The band are now ready to launch their crusade after being schooled under the likes of Talking Heads, Joy Division, Foals, Radiohead, Cut Copy, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Does It Offend You Yeah, Midnight Juggernauts and The Rapture.
My Escapade has become best known for their haunting and uplifting live performances along with our experimentation with alluring melodies and tribal beats. Their sound is often described as soulful, alternative rock, reminiscent of early Coldplay and Jeff Buckley, with tributes to more modern sounds evocative of Muse. They have supported such acts as Dukes of Windsor and Little Red and are sure to blow minds.
Entry will be $10 and doors are at 8PM, with the first act taking the stage at 9PM. More information can be found at http://www.facebook.com/musicadium.
