The Up and Coming 14th May

Each week i will be blogging about a band that has attracted my attention in some way or form. They are my prediction for future success if you will.

This week: The Cairo's

Consisting of 4 teenagers, this Brisbane Indie/Ambient/Postpunk outfit have been making waves through the local indie scene. Citing such influences as The Smiths, The Church, Echo & The Bunnymen, Radiohead, The Cure and Joy Division, you can start to form a sound in your mind! Their song, 'Whales' with its chorussed bassline and Alistair Richardson's polished vocals, has received decent radio time and alot of critic attention. To capitalize on their rise, the band have picked 5 songs to form their debut EP, 'Lost at Sea'. The recent high school graduates have toured with the likes of The Temper Trap, Wolf and Cub, Mercy Arms, Yves Klein Blue, The Holidays and John Steel Singers to name a few. If anyone is interested in 'The Cairos' they are playing at the Woombye pub on the 4th July, I highly suggest going along for a look.



'Lost at Sea' debuts at The Zoo in Brisbane on the 16th May.
