Oxford Art Factory Presents Double Dragon II
9 September 2010
Oxford Art Factory opens its doors to Sydney's finest underground music acts for Double Dragon II on October 1st. Headlined by Bridezilla and featuring over a dozen bands for only $5, this is an event well worth your while.
Sydney's Oxford Art Factory has become one of the city's most reputable venues, constantly featuring not only some of the best touring internationals, but also striving to support up-and-coming local talent. On October 1st, it outdoes itself again, playing host to a swathe of Sydney's best acts doing the rounds under the radar and struggling for recognition. The night goes by the name of Double Dragon and shapes up as a Friday night that you and your mates would be absolutely disfigured to miss. Check out OAF's press release for the show below:
"Headlining Double Dragon II is Bridezilla. The band who with debut album The First Dance solidified their place as one of the most brilliant, intelligent and sophisticated young bands in the cosmos today. With their out of this world indie folk flavours meandering around your aural galaxy like a beautiful siren whispering sweet nothings into your consciousness they will seduce you and then rob you of everything you have known before. A true gem.
The blissful Beach Boys-esque melodies of WIM will take you to heaven one beautifully crafted song after the next. The Neu meets Mudhoney brutality of Zeahorse will spike your drink and mail you to North Korea where you will be met by the bi-polar trip hop dictatorship of Arkestra. Dark Bells, Piano Is Drunk and Nhomea will simultaneously frighten you and massage you with their sonic assault while Sick Python, Disco Club and Old Men Of Moss Mountain will make you dance without you completely understanding why. The passionate truth of Juan Cortez along with the cultish fever of Psychonanny and the Babyshakers and Whipped Cream Chargers will shower love upon the masses as if the heavens were being summoned open by the shuffling bombast of the aforementioned. Djs Max Gosford, Pages, Ombudsman and Lovelace will take you into the wee hours playing music so eclectic anyone who really needs to define it should probably just go to bed."
Our tip-off is to get there to catch Whipped Cream Chargers, Psychonanny and the Babyshakers and Zeahorse, while Bridezilla are the obvious highlight. As for the rest? We're looking forward to the discovery.
