Single? Looking for men with beards in black t-shirts? Don’t like conversation? Prefer to face an illuminated wall in cordial silence with others? May we present you with the hottest ticket in Melbourne for your particular thing:  On Saturday the 8th of June,The Nation Blue, No Anchor and Dead will convert The Tote into a veritable forrest before your very eyes.
With a resting pulse rate of 105+ The Nation Blue have finally been able to stand up, brush aside the Cheetos and leave the house after a long secluded summer. They are sweaty, uncomfortable and angry and will be diving into the lesser ventured folds of their back catalogue, as well as presenting their first new material since 2009.
Brisbane’s No Anchor are so heavy they disregard the entire top half of the frequency spectrum. It’s been almost 12 months since they last levelled Melbourne and they are touring on the back of their fourth masterpiece The Golden Bridge, released late last year. Come and slow mosh to square waves.
Dead subscribe to a similar guitar hate as No Anchor and the bands will be releasing a split 7″ together in time for the show. They will open the night in primordial fashion dragging a colossus of force from two brutalised instruments.
Witness this live evolutionary chart as one bass-becomes-two-becomes an appallingly played guitar. Hope I don’t break a string.
