Psychedelic Porn Crumpets | MR PRISM TOUR
2020-09-12 21:30
SOLD OUT

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets + Pot Plant House Party + Grace Sanders SOLD OUT! Saturday 12th September. Please do not fall…
Posted by Settlers Tavern Margaret River on Tuesday, 8 September 2020

PPC play a handful of WA shows to celebrate the release of their brand new track Mr.Prism – these will be the band’s first headline shows of 2020, get your ticket so you don’t miss out.
Take the trail out of Perth via Leederville and keep on driving, and you might just stumble across an old horse shed – one where weirdness roams free. Across the bridge from said shed, house parties rage until the early hours and beyond, while around the corner there’s a sky-high pile of trash that acts as a makeshift home for the local rat population. It’s here, amongst jam sessions that would last six-hours plus, that the wacky, sprawling sound of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets was born. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ night-long jam sessions and unconventional abodes are just the tip of their iceberg of happy accidents.
Jack and pals needed something visceral. “We took the harder approach – big riffs,” he says with an audible grin, “When you’re on a site for six days a week, it’s nice to get back in the evening and go ‘RAAAAARGH’ into a mic.” That primal, intuitive style followed them through to their live shows, which would see the band writing a song one evening, and playing it in the local pubs the following night, inciting mosh-pits and wig-outs with barely a pause for breath.
That unforgettable name is yet another example of their go-it-alone approach – “I wanted something memorable like marmite – you either love it or you hate it,” laughs Jack. One thing’s for sure – the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ tale is already one for the ages.

The quartet dives into a mess of psychedelic blues, filled to the gills with fuzzed up guitars and sturdy songwriting. These songs evoke a time in music history when rock was getting really loud but before metal became a dedicated genre. Polly Coufos, The Australian Demon Blues represents the pair’s unbridled passion for guitar-soaked boogie and giant riffs that get up in ya face from album opener Out With the Tide and stay there through the garage stomp of `60s-heavy You Ain’t No Friend of Mine to the lazy, hazy psych of Another Planet.

The genre-defying Steve Hensby Band are heavy on the horns and very danceable!
2020 has seen the release of their third album ‘Modern Music For Modern People’ to rave reviews, both national (Triple J) and international radio play, and busy dance floors at live shows.

Their well-received self-titled double album debut (2017) featured folk and world influences fused to make a gypsy/circus style album. ‘Wake Up In Bordeaux’ made it to the Top 20 WA songs of 2017. For 2019’s follow up, ‘Chase the Sun’, they drew from soul/funk/world music and added a slamming five-piece horn section. The title track is a collaboration with MC Optamus from WA hip hop legends, Downsyde.

Steve Hensby is a Berklee College of Music graduate and WAMI nominated musician who also works as a session player in the Perth area. He has played with the likes of Tim Minchin, Steve Poltz, WASO, Perth Symphony Orchestra and Taasha Cootes.

Reviews

“The songs here (Modern Music For Modern People) were so good, I didn’t feel the need to follow the story too closely. The sound and mix also can’t be faulted: every musical instrument finds a perfect spot and sticks around only as long as needed. My hat’s off to the scope and variety of both this band and their excellent new release.” (Divide & Conquer)

It’s the end of the world and what does Steve Hensby do about it? He makes a record of course. Modern Music For Modern People is a concept album that takes humanity’s dire circumstances — incompetent politicians, the insidious Internet, climate change, the whole shebang — and turns them into a glittering musical journey that sidesteps all the doom and gloom, delivering track after track of aural goodness. If we’re all going to die, we may as well have a good time while we’re on the way out. (Andrew Thompson, Around The Sound)

“From the get-go this funk tune puts me in the best mood. Whimsical and cheeky, this tune just oozes good times and boogie nights.” (Nkechi Anele, Triple J)

“This sounds like heaps of fun – a band really in sync with each other! And hard to deny that beat.” (Steph Hughes, Triple J)

“Steve Hensby is a decidedly less evil Will Wonka 9/10” (Xpress magazine)

“‘Chase The Sun’ is an exceptional album. Highly recommended” (Divide and Conquer)

“It’s much more than just a collection of songs, it’s a story, a trip into the depths of the imagination and absolutely brilliant.’ (Dave Anger 2mcr 100.3 fm.)

“It’s Freddie Mercury meets Jim Jefferies” (Barman in Hackney)

“There is certainly a huge amount of variety here, showcasing the talents of this prolific songwriter and excellent vocalist. It goes to show how much talent we have here in Perth.” (Menu Magazine)

Ten Cent Shooters

Live Music Australia – an Australian Government initiative
FREE ENTRY
The Ten Cent Shooters is a Western Australian three-piece acoustic blues band, playing in a style based on country blues, a genre which combines traditional European styles and instruments with African-American derived rhythms and songs.
Country blues was amongst the first vernacular music recorded, as the recording technology became widely available in the USA in the 1920s. These first recordings, rediscovered and made popular amongst folk music enthusiasts in the 1960s, are a window into a world of work songs, love songs, ballads, spirituals and dance music played in community settings before radio and records changed the culture.
The band tries to remain faithful to the style of the early blues players but also has a unique sound which is popular with people of all ages and backgrounds as evidenced by strong CD sales, airplay on ABC and public radio, and great crowd response at live shows. The Shooters always talk a lot about the history and personalities of the early blues and can play quiet and intimate acoustic concert sets in small venues. Their presentation of this American music is very Australian. They can also play large dance stages and really get people moving. Legendary Australian bluesman Phil Manning at a WA festival described the band as “the most powerful acoustic band I’ve ever heard”.
