My Disco
Turn
Grind you down (slowly) into lovely sweet coffee beans. Percolate those pills of energetic bliss with some tribal bongos and the kind of minimalism where silence is the unofficial fourth member. The pleasure, as it always has been, can be found in gaps between the metronomic consistency and the occasional, joyous, caffeine-induced spurts.
My Disco
Young
When I first heard that My Disco would be releasing an 11 minute 'first single' in February I assumed it would be a fairly slow building, mind-draining affair. But, as your ears are probably telling you right now, the song is a lot more forthcoming in it's approach, starting with all it's cards on the table and then stripping back to a fairly buck-naked rhythm pattern.
My Disco to release new single in February
Melbourne-based label Mistletone have announced that they'll be releasing a new ('ultra limited') 12" single by math-rocking maestros My Disco early next year.
UHH talks to Liam Andrews of Melbourne's My Disco about his battle with Hodgkin’s disease and the group's upcoming scheduled 'break'. You catch the trio playing their last Sydney show for the year this Thursday at Oxford Art Factory, alongside Absolute Boys, Holy Balm and Royal Headache.

Our favourite Australian/New Zealand artists of 2008
Artists that touched us. Artists we touched. A big list of people we think you should try and touch sometime.
My Disco have taken out the music category at this year's Spirit Of Youth Awards (aka the SOYAs). The Melbourne trio take home $5,000 in cold hard ca$h and $5,000 worth of Qantas flights. They also get the opportunity to be 'mentored' for the next 12 months by wunder-producer Scott Horscroft, who has previously worked with Silverchair and The Panics. Hmm.. maybe a little bit of a mismatch there.

Is Tuesday the new Friday? Maybe.
Anzac Day is perfectly planted in the middle of this week to nicely break everything up and create another weekend out of nothing this Tuesday night.. and there are more than a few things going on. The Basics finish up the Sydney part of their month long tri-state residency at the Hopetoun Hotel, supported lovingly by Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers. That is a tempting offer - BUT at the Abercrombie Hotel there is a whole lot more action with The Straight Arrows, Cuthbert again (doubling up ..) and Richard In Your Mind and Papa Vs Pretty. Holy shittt that is crazy nice.
