A Hole in the Sky

Overview

You know those beach movies from the fifties? The ones starring moondoggies and beachbunnies, with synopses like "four boys, intent on making records in a big surf competition, meet four girls intent on marriage"? Well, imagine that but the girls have a bit more ambition, and the film is set at night with a more disco deadbeat vibe. A Hole in the Sky Records is kinda like that. Psychedelics at the clambake, you dig? If you think my description is a little loopy, then may I refer you to the official label bio that informs us that the founders were swept up in a tornado in '68 and are currently sending their tunes from outer space.

This January, that very label is making a trip back to planet earth headquarters to host a little party at everyone's favourite danceteria, Good God. From their impressive stable of bands (which includes Tame Impala, Jacques Renault and The Delicate Genius), they'll be trotting out Perth psychpopniks Pond and a band much loved in these parts, Canyons (in fact, we featured them in our book). What's more, all proceeds are going to a Haiti earthquake relief fund.
