The Scare Album Launch

Overview

The Scare have been somewhat transient and homeless in Australia. Since leaving their native Sunshine Coast in Queensland, they have recorded a debut that was largely overlooked in Australia but landed them festival spots and good tours in the UK, US and Europe. And all the while they came home to play the occasional club show in dank and dusty rooms.

Could Be Bad, the debut single from their second album Oozevoodoo has been the first time that they have graced our airwaves in a big way, receiving Triple J's big thumbs up. The tune is a nice slice of punk with a funked out beaty tinge. We're talking post-punk kinda whiteboy funk, ala The Rapture or Gang Of Four.

The new album marks a collaboration with â€" and a first foray into production for â€" Daniel Johns (yes you know who he is) who invited the young bucks up to Newcastle to start pre-production on the album before relocating to a Central Coast studio. Johns has pushed the natural pop edge and jauntiness of the band further, with singer Kiss' angular and pompous vocal style brought to the fore on these more accessible and focused tunes.

Their live show usually promises volatile and dysfunctional happenings, but after tours throughout the US, UK and Europe and recent tours of Australia, they will be match fit and seasoned, ready to play their new album to the inner west masses. Jack Ladder and Cabins will open the proceedings.
