Sparkadia

Overview

The fact that quaint Sydney born band Sparkadia emerged in 2008, released a ton of hit songs, only to disappear, adds to the mysterious enigma they have going on. Now the Sydney crew is back again, fresh from a recording jaunt in London, with a new CD, a new tour and a chance for new fans to discover them.

The Great Impression is Sparkadia’s sophomore album and there are only good things to say about it. Despite a reshuffling of group members it still has a distinctive smart-pop flair to it that was so well liked the first time around. The debut single off it 'Talking Like I’m Falling Down Stairs' is crazy catchy, has eaten up a fair amount of air time already and I’m sure has also inspired many conversations analysing its hidden meanings.

The accompanying tour is their biggest so far, spanning four weeks and the majority of Australia’s main cities. Brisbane’s turn comes on April 8 and at The Hi-Fi. Accompanying them throughout are fellow Australian bands Operator Please and Alpine. You would be a fool not to go; after all, they might explain how exactly one talks like they’re falling down stairs.
