Theatre of Disco
Electronic music can get predictable. To hold an audience's attention, it helps if you douse yourself in fake blood and put on a theatrical live show with dancers dressed like Leigh Bowery, or write interesting, inventive songs.
Sydney duo Theatre of Disco does both. Their sound combines electro with glitchy samples and over-the-top humour (at times they veer into all-out indie territory, like on the fantastic Oke, Film & TV composer Oli Chang and theatre director / parole officer James Brennan formed their band in Berlin after meeting at a squat party in London. They've now brought the party Down Under. It is damn satisfying when you come across a terrific CD by a new band you've never heard of. This is one of those.
