Melbourne/Naarm instrumental progressive post-rock band Bear The Mammoth have been creating expansive, atmospheric music since forming in 2011. Their sound combines layered guitars, bass, drums and synths, moving between quieter passages and heavier, more intense moments. We are super stoked to have them back at Trash Cult for an incredible night.
Joining them this time round will be Sydney/Gadigal outfit Syntax Error for their album lunch, Fires of Home, with theremin fuelled and guitar laden indie psychedelic post-rock for the apocalypse.
Svntax Error’s music is created through the clashing of disparate influences in improvisation, leading to either harsh combustion or new and strange musical mutations. The music blurs spontaneity with composition, melody with noise, chaos with structure, light with shade.
"Drawing influences from Mogwai, The Cure, Nick Cave, The Dirty Three and more, the Sydney-based band have earned a reputation for thrilling sonic explorations making use of hypnotic grooves, wailing theremins and of course, a post-rockers penchant for delay pedals." Jacopo Vigezzi, Progressive Rock Journal
And rounding out an awesome night of sound will be The Big Quiet.
