Mistletone

Mistletone proudly presents the return of Melbourne-born, London-based HTRK in their first Australian tour for over five years.

Thursday, November 24: HTRK @ Goodgod Small Club with Lost Animal + Kirin J. Callinan. This show has now sold out.

HTRK is Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang, a two-piece live electronic/noise/avant pop/rock act known for their subtlety of gesture and stubbornly languorous performances and capable of seducing audiences through disciplined waves of sonics, crisp 808 beats and soft, calm threats.

From the mid-2000s, HTRK (pronounced “haterock”) toured Europe extensively at the personal request of Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Shellac, The Horrors, The Locust and Fuck Buttons. Their defiantly underground pedigree derives from strong associations with the late, great Rowland S. Howard and UK industrial legend Paul Smith, whose label Blast First Petite (Pan Sonic, Martin Rev) has just released their acclaimed new album Work (work, work), in the UK/Europe. The album has been released locally through Mistletone Records / Inertia, and in the US on Ghostly International.

HTRK will be joined for their Sydney show by Melbourne’s Lost Animal, bringing the intoxicating pre-fab beats of their acclaimed new album Ex Tropical, plus enigmatic, one-man show Kirin J. Callinan to open the night in brooding style.
