review from radelaide..

so we've been gutting away on the road for a few weeks now, having played with the likes of Miami Horror, Wolf & Cub, The Protectors etc.. so heres a taste of what's been going on.. a live review from our last trek to south oz..

Melbourne’s Red Ink took to the stage next and pulled in the punters with superb indie rock. Once you see these guys live you understand why the buzz behind them continues to sky rocket. Blistering guitars and thumping bass lines duel for supremacy as Josh Jakubenko’s sublime voice rises above the driving drums that encapsulate all that is right with this four piece. Putting on an energetic and lively performance, with Jakubenko’s hypnotising vocal strains and stage presence leading the way, it is the well crafted tunes that really make Red Ink stand out from the crowd. New single Battlescars has a very British feel with a fantastic sing along chorus while set closer Audrey leaves you feeling sweaty, euphoric and just a little guilty, much like a one night stand. Red Ink are the real deal and deserve the success that is surely on its way.

ding dong gig review

wooohooo.. so those who come to our shows know we love to dance like idiots.. luckily for us, this time round, the crowd joined in.. a review from Faster Louder of our gig at the Ding Ding Jan 25th is below.. enjoy

.....

A muggy Melbourne night at the Ding Dong Lounge, licking your chops at a veritable smorgas board of local talent with Red Ink topping the bill. What better way spend an Australia Day Eve, we ask you?

Unfazed by the serious partying to be done the following day, punters flocked to Ding Dong early on to soak up an energetic set by Mercury White with their piano-inflected brand of indie rock. Honourable mention goes to their generous use of the keytar, always a sight to behold.

Boasting a more extensive list of exotic instruments were Melbourne’s favourite crockery-inspired folk act, The Good China. The troupe whipped out banjos, ukuleles, xylophones, maracas and even a melodica at one point during their delightful set.

Less about extraordinary instruments and more about extraordinary heads of hair was third act for the night, Neon Love. Hot hair and the vocalist’s striking resemblance to Prince aside, Neon Love kept the standard of local talent on show pegged high. With a sound that deftly bridges pop/indie rock/post punk divides these four boys from Ballarat are well worth keeping an eye out for.

Headliners for the night, Red Ink, then took to the stage. Sporting an Aussie-flag T-shirt with the words Blame On! scrawled in black texta, charismatic vocalist John Jakubenko said a few quick hellos to then kick off a set that literally swept the crowd up off the Ding Dong dance floor.

With vocals that swoop and soar over steady layers of pop-rock rhythms and spikes of ska-like guitar riffs, Red Ink certainly know how to weave a soundscape that envelops a crowd and leaves them literally buoyant.

Kleptomaniac starts off dark and punchy but then forks off into dreamy interludes, only to pull you back into the same driving pop beat to keep you on the dance floor. Floatier but still packing power-pop punch is the track Audrey, with reggae-like off-beats keeping 80s rock angst-ridden vocals upbeat.

A spot of crowd-surfing broke out towards the end of the set, despite the small size of venue, with the crowd happily keeping the lone surfer afloat as confetti rained down from the stage above.

funny poster / grumpy old bat

hey so you may have seen these posters round town.. we did the shoot AGES ago as a bit of a piss take at the juiced up wankers roaming our streets late at night.. anyways, since then, theres been a spell of violent occurances in our inner suburbs. we hate violent wankers and the poster is merely a criticism on them.. so.. we were very amused when some old lady was running round town tearing down all our posters put up through melbourne.. playing at vineyard in st kilda, the venue laughed their ass off when the lady came in abusing them for having us play.. so as a joke, they posted this little sticker.. enjoy.
