Youth Group launch The Night is Ours

Last Wednesday night, just after a storm ripped through Sydney, Youth Group played a show on the deck of a boat to launch their new album The Night is Ours.

The boat was the Cape Don, permanently moored at Balls Head next to where Youth Group recorded the new album. I took some pictures of that process, including the band on board the boat last year.

The album launch gig was lit rather poorly, so i was content to just get moody atmospheric shots.

The new album is out on June 26th. This is the video for first single ‘Two Sides’.

Sydney record label and tour operator Popfrenzy hosted a killer lineup of overseas bands aboard a boat cruise on Sydney Harbour earlier this month. It was the same boat used for The Presets loveboat gig a few weeks earlier but the crowd was less glam more indie this time round. Sydney turned on a perfect evening for it too.

The line-up consisted of Jens Lekman, The Gossip, Les Savy Fav, Thunderbirds are Now! and Pretty Girls Make Graves. All top acts that bubble away beneath the mainstream (and kick against it).

The main revelation of the night was The Gossip, a three piece with a punk attitude and a dynamite lead singer and rhythm section. Have a listen to Standing in the Way of Control (mp3) to hear what i mean.

Les Savy Fav were entertaining as ever and Jens Lekman made hearts flutter with his sentimental ballads.

There’s some photos of Popfrenzy Afloat in my gallery. Speaking of which, i’ve upgraded the gallery software, so let me know if anything is broken or you’ve got a suggestion to improve it.
