Miami Horror Block Party

Overview

Miami Horror's just released their first music for two years. And, to mark the occasion, they're hosting a block party in Marrickville. Get along to the Portugal Madeira car park on Sunday, April 2 to immerse yourself.

When we say immerse, we mean it. The band's brand new album, titled The Shapes, goes to places they've never been before. We're talking Caribbean funk, African beats, Talking Heads-influenced lyrics and visual art. You won't be just listening to the music, you'll be watching it, too.

"I've always been a fan of colourful art and murals, especially those from the late '80s and early '90s," said MH's Ben Plant. "As a child, they excited and inspired me every time I passed them. This left a lasting effect on me into adulthood, a lust for colour and the extraordinary amongst the mundane colours of suburbia or the greyness of Melbourne city."

Also making appearances at the party, which kicks off at 3pm, will be Touch Sensitive, Running Touch, Broadway Sounds, Gameboy/Gamegirl, Mezko and Queen Magic. Taking care of DJ sets will be Souseme, Falcona DJs and SPORTS.

There'll also be Mr Black cold drip espresso martinis, a Miami Horror Holidays Cocktail Bar with $8 mai tais, margaritas and more, Eat Art Truck pulled pork burgers, The Weinery's bacon-wrapped hot dogs and donuts, custom art projections from Eyebyte and a Miami Horror convertible car photobooth.

Miami Horror have been touring the world since releasing debut album Illumination in 2013. They split their time off-the-road between Melbourne and Los Angeles.
