Overview

If you're going to make a racket, it may as well be a Mad one. With a keen revival of the Supa Funn party variety, innovative underground crew Mad Racket are bringing their smoky, gritty cult-following-of-a-shindig back to Marrickville Bowling Club with one major kick.

With a highly anticipated debut album Destination Unknown ready to tear up earphones and throw shapes on d-floors, Melburnian four-piece Super Melody is set to bring their unique branch of beats, breaks and genre-spanning electro banter that can only come from a dude who's spent time with Architecture In Helsinki. Look, if anything, watching the live results of a suburban recording session in Cecil's sister's brightly pink walled bedroom when his dad went away for the weekend is worth one hell of a bash.

Fronted by the self-described, "part crooner, part mad scientist, part tropical percussionist" Cecil and Super Melody fuse '80s supasynths with lusciously bending guitar licks and a general goodtime mantra akin to something like "party on, Wayne". Hardly wearing mouse ears for kicks, the Racketeers' Jimmi James, Zootie, Ken Cloud and Simon Caldwell are sure to bring a shine to the copper ceilings of this wondrously kitsch venue, spinning beats and serving treats the only way they know how: well. Get involved.
