Architecture in Helsinki

Overview

Architecture in Helsinki are back, and set to make the folk at the Sydney Opera House dance through their shoes in their first headline tour in three years. To celebrate the release of their fourth album Moment Bends, the band who are renowned for live shows bursting with energy and sweaty fun are coming to Sydney to play exclusively as part of the lineup for Vivid Live.

Architecture In Helsinki burst straight out of art school around a decade ago, with albums positively tingling with amazing indie pop songs and a slew of videos featuring trampolines, capes and creepy fluorescent puppets dancing around their necks. They've gone on to become one of Australia's most loved and internationally acclaimed acts, playing national and international tours alongside such luminaries as David Byrne, Belle & Sebastian and Yo La Tengo. Their new album develops the kind of ecstatic pop that makes you want to dance in a cloud of glitter, but with the kind of sophisticated touch that comes from many years of being one of Australia's most acclaimed and innovative bands.

But at the end of the day, and most importantly, Architecture In Helsinki make you want to dance. So get your fluoro shirt out, stick something weird in your hair and get yourself a ticket while you can.
