Intentions

All of this local music I've seen lately must be affecting me. I've been listening to a lot more local bands, especially in that style similar to Quiet Steps, Nuclear Summer and La Dispute. And lo and behold, there's a band from Sydney that does the same thing. And they're named after a Mclusky song that they cover (a song that Future of the Left played live a few weeks ago).



They're journeying north of the border for the first time in February and playing two shows with some of the bands I saw over the last few days.


The first one is February 19 with Quiet Steps at the Sun Distortion Studios in Albion (2/24 Corunna St, Albion). All Ages starting at 7.


The next one is a 4ZZZ carpark show with Nuclear Summer on the 20th of February. This is a Sunday afternoon show, all ages, starting at about 2 pm I believe. (EDIT: as seen in the comments below, there's been a scheduling mix up... so no Nuclear Summer. But heck, still get in and see a good show and maybe get some sun on your pasty skin?) DOUBLE EDIT: But wear sunscreen. We don't want cancer stupid.

You can listen to more of Intentions here.

  1. Hey thanks for the writeup! i was just on here reading your review of the LD show and saw our name!

    We're dead excited for this, even if it will be brutally hot&humid by our soft Sydney standards.

    just to let you know, us and Nuclear Summer had a bit of a mix-up, they're actually going to be down here in Sydney while we’re in their usual habitat of Brisbane, so they won’t be playing at the 4ZZZ show on Sunday the 20th. But happily we’ll cross paths with them in Lismore - we're playing with them and The Vanguard Tic on the friday at the Northern Rivers hotel. we might get another band for the carpark show to replace NS but i'm not sure, I'm talking to Brisfriends about it, will let you know. still a great lineup regardless.

    see you in a couple of weeks!

  2. Hey Si,

    Thanks for the heads up about the scheduling conflict! We'll try and have the humidity turned down for you when you get here, otherwise you're just going to have to drink a few more beers I think.
