I Heart Hiroshima

Overview

Second to being one of our finest local talents, I Heart Hiroshima have for years been the face of Brisbane's ever-growing underground music scene.

Unbeknown to some, the mid-2000s in Brisbane saw a Footloose-like crackdown on the enforcement of noise restrictions at festivals and gigs. Venues were forced to close their doors and the Brisbane music scene readapted to one fuelled on house party gigs, underground events and musical innovation. While a designated entrainment precinct for performance was set aside, the underground music culture quickly flourished producing some of that decade's most praised bands.

Three-piece indie rock band I Heart Hiroshima is noted as one band that personified this scene. Having formed at a house party in 2005, members Susie Patten, Matthew Somers and Cameron Hawes quickly produced a stand out, punk infused force and have performed at many festivals since.

After years of pursuing their individual musical endeavours following their 2011 tour, I Heart Hiroshima are reforming to play at the Gold Coast Big Day Out, then for an extra treat at Alhambra Lounge this Tuesday.

Catch these revolutionary rockers while they're still in town.
