| Lamarama - Your Intentions Rock, Funk | 25/05/2013 |
Since their release of their debut record "ETC" late 2012, Lamarama have been taking their psychedelic groove rock folk-tronic eargasm to stages all across the state. Beware of the beard.
Full of quirky cultural references, this is a bipolar love song of sorts, reflecting on the constant mind changing habits of someone pretending to know how relationships work.
The groove on this track digs it's heels in before hitting a soaring bridge section reminiscent of Dark Side of the Moon.

Sydney 3 piece that bring together incredible song writing, free jamming and great production. Inspired by Neil Young, Radiohead and Talk Talk.
It unfolds, one layer at a time with old man Parsons doing his part to move things forward in his irregular yet mightily constrained way before the whole thing flattens out with Blackwood’s dulcet sweep atop a bed of harmonised howls. - Sound Doctrine 2013

Taka Perry is a teenage musician, adding hints of electronic to instrumental music. He is a self-taught guitarist, and an adept user of synthesizers.
