Anyway, Red Ink bounded forth a short while later and my night finally looked up. To say that this is one of Melbourne’s hottest unsinged bands is an understatement, and I am yet to leave a show of theirs disappointed. There is a genuineness to their pop-rock that is wholly endearing; unlike the previous band, no pretensions whatsoever can be detected. Lead singer John Jakubenko bounces around the stage without a hint of self-consciousness, his tenor range soaring all the while. With all his entertaining movements and emotive top notes, Jakubenko is surely is one of the more accomplished performers I’ve seen for less than fifty dollars. If I had but one minor complaint, it would be that I’d like to see his hands away from the synthesizer more often, leaving him free to move. A minor concern though. As a unit, Red Ink look truly comfortable and cohesive as they deliver their set with the right mix of precision and looseness. The band’s newer songs are less hook-oriented and slightly more challenging, giving their set, which is otherwise full of ever-so-catchy tunes like Love on a Park Bench and An Elaborate Plan to Run Away, a fuller, more complete feel. Watching the lads simply enjoy putting on a show is something that makes it near impossible for the audience to have anything less than a memorable experience at a Red Ink show. This surely is one band to keep your eyes on.

studio tomorrow..

So alot of you my already know, but as of tomorrow, we are heading back into the studio with Tom Larkin (Shihad, Young & Restless, Getaway Plan etc).. We are spending the next 4 days recording the tracks for our upcoming EP release to go to air Feb 09.. 2 of the tracks will be Audrey and Going Insane with more to be announced.. We are particularly stoked about these tracks and know you will be too. For those at the Christmas Party, you will have already heard these tracks.. For the rest of you, get excited. haha
