The Melbourne launch event for Kes Trio’s new album Black Brown Green Grey White (out now on Mistletone thru Inertia).

Special guests will be The Dirty Three’s Mick Turner and his band featuring Jeffrey Wegener and Ian Wadley, plus Slow Hog featuring Liam Andrews and Rohan Rebeiro from My Disco.

A stunning document of Kes Band’s current and undeniable incarnation as a trio (KES, Lehmann B. Smith and Julian Patterson), Black Brown Green Grey White is a study in duality. Contemplative, melodic beauty and inward-gazing ballads are juxtaposed with jerky dischord, banshee yells and whirlwind anti-rock riffs. Compelling, uncompromising and beautiful, Black Brown Green Grey White will surely hold you spellbound.

Tickets $10 + BF on sale now from the venue or $14 at the door if still available. Doors open 8.30pm.

Ends Run Together is the new solo album from Dunedin legend Robert Scott. We all love and know Bob from his work in The Bats and The Clean (not to mention countless side projects), and this new album will knock your socks off!

To celebrate the release of Ends Run Together, Melbourne folks can catch Bob doing a very special solo show at The Empress on Saturday September 4 with support from Mia Schoen, Aktion Unit and Scale Models. Tickets $20 at the door. Doors open 8pm.

Mistletone proudly presents legendary New Zealand band The Chills in their first Australian tour since 1992, playing two shows only in Melbourne and Sydney! One of the key proponents of the Flying Nun sound, The Chills have been much loved since the early 1980s for their charming, hook-laden guitar pop. Over the years there have been many lineups, the only constant member being founder and guitarist Martin Phillipps. For this tour The Chills will consist of Martin Phillipps, James Dixon, Erica Stichbury, Todd Knudson and Oli Wilson. Having grown more iconic and relevant to indie pop as each year passes, there is huge anticipation for the return to Australia of The Chills and their Heavenly Pop Hits…

THE CHILLS: SAT MAY 15 @ Oxford Art Factory w/ Songs Trio + DJ Berko. Tickets $35 + BF on sale now from Moshtix, ph. 1300 GET TIX.

Mistletone proudly presents The Bats, darlings of the New Zealand indie pop scene on their return tour following last year’s sold out shows. The Bats are flagbearers for the legacy of the Dunedin/Flying Nun sound, yet their new music is vital and sparkling as ever. The band has never broken up and is touring in the original lineup of Robert Scott, Paul Kean, Kaye Woodward and Malcolm Grant. The Bats’ latest album The Guilty Office (now in its second pressing on Mistletone and available locally through Inertia) was deemed “as fine a collection of songs from the pen of Robert Scott as there ever was”, and last year’s full-house shows won glowing reviews and adoring fans. Don’t miss the triumphant return of The Bats, at the most apropos time of the ANZAC long weekend.

“With zero line-up changes in over 25 years, the polish displayed here was bordering on ridiculous. Yet the poise of the quartet gave away little as to the intricacy and complexities of the arrangements – they made it look like they were painting the fence… A gleeful trip down memory lane” – INPRESS LIVE REVIEW 2009

THE BATS: Sunday April 25 @ East Brunswick Club with special guests Ross McLennan & The New World Sympathique, Milk Teddy + DJ Frankie Teardrop.

Tickets on sale now from the East.
