Overview
Are you a radar detector? What does that even mean? Does it matter? Darwin Deez is in town! If you've forgotten already, Mr Smith (seriously) was here for Parklife last year and is back for a headline Australian tour.
The man/machine/lead singer describes Darwin Deez's sound as a combination of 'Thriller and Dismemberment Plan' and is reminiscent of The Strokes, Beck, MGMT and The Flaming Lips. New York produces some pretty amazing talent, and it did not surpass this young musician. He got his big break playing shows at the legendary Sidewalk Cafe, similarly responsible for launching the career of Regina Spektor. Darwin has also been a fixture on Australian radio, breaking into the semi-prestigious Triple J Hottest 100 with 'Radar Detector' coming in at number 28.
You can expect an indie-pop dance fest at a Darwin Deez show; a magical hybrid of energy and positivity, most often shown through the band's spontaneous urge to break boy band-esque dance moves. Radar detector expectation: pretty damn good. See Darwin Deez for yourself at The Zoo on Thursday 5 May.
