MY DISCO play Corsica Studios for The Quietus next Monday, May 30th with support from Hannah Sawtell and Sophie Coletta. Tickets and further details of the event are available here.

Xavier Irvine – Altona Gate


Xavier has been a friend of ours for years. originally a metal guitarist in various grind / death bands, his solo work is reminiscent of John Carpenter’s early lo-fi soundtracks.

Dead Boomers – The Pig In The Python


Bludgeoning Industrial power electronic duo whom have been around through various forms in Melbourne for years. Bleak real life talk covered in all kinds of distortion.

Armour Group – Purge


Militant noise. Boyfriend/girlfriend duo. Very intense.

Makeda – Recreation


Makeda’s ethereal ‘Recreation’ is deeply meditative and immersive. A very focused and attentive track that heals on every listen.

Regional Curse – Queer Scum


Stacey Wilson is a prolific artist. Regional Curse explores her ambient side. Similar in nature to HTRK / Tropic of Cancer vibes.

Erasers – By Your Side


Hailing from the far reaches of Western Australia, Erasers are another couple duo making incredible drone music out of Perth. They also really love small batch beer breweries.

Friendships – Monarch To The Kingdom Of The Dead


Friendships revel in cut up discordant grime jams with a heavy focus on live power visuals and a high energy live performance. They are like the Melbourne equivilent of Die Antwoord ‘cept real AF.

Hoardes Of The Black Cross – The Stalker’s Poison


Black metal done to perfection. These guys are so dark we have never been able to actually see them perform live due to their suburban obscurity.

Nerve – Heads And Ordinary Concrete


Solid new release from Josh Wells aka Nerve. Released on Melbournes finest collective A Colourful Storm.A super heavy and dark jungle-leaning track expresses Nerve’s impressive unwordliness.

Cassius Select – He Ain’t Worth


Cassius Select displaying his unrelenting dedication to rhythmic sharpness.
