Circus! Circus! Melbourne

// January 18th, 2009 // No Comments » // news

In January 2009 The Blow Waves hosted one of Midsumma biggest and best official events – Circus! Circus! All those butch freaks, boy treats, clown chubs, ringmasters, bearded hicks, carnivores, she freaks and sideshow sally’s rolled up into one of the hottest carnal carnivals in town!

The night took place over two debauched floors of the Big Top at Melbourne’s own legendary live music hot spot: The Tote Hotel.

Swinging alonging in the gallows with The Blow Waves were Sydney’s finest high flying sub sonic femme gems: The Blush Foundation, alongside Sydney’s fiercest electro kids: Ghetto Pussy, plus DJs Sveta and Seymour Butz kept it dank and dirty for the sweating pleasure of the carnie kids.

Stay tuned, we’ll be hosting some more crazy nights out around the country real soon … so don’t be the last to know about it … sign up to our email list for more information.

On the road

The Blow Waves hit the road in November 2008 with their “looking for love… in all the wrong places” tour…

The boys brightened up the country side with their campery in Bendigo, alongside the Darts and the Red Cherries. Then it was off to Adelaide with gigs at Enigma, the Ed Castle and Feast Festival. Supported by the Kill Girls, Tyger Tyger and Radio Spectacular! And what an impression they made on the locals this time around.

Next the Blowies packed up their kit and headed off to deliver disaster relief in Queensland. Rain, hail or shine, the boys rocked out at QUT Guild Bar in Brisbane. Joining them on the bill were those Brissie sensations Christopher Robin and Elke – these guys have really something else going on.

Finally they wrapped it up on the Gold Coast with Christopher Robin and the Gallery Kiss at the Miami Shark Bar, before taking some much needed R&R in Noosa. Now there’s just enough time to swing by the recording studio before we do it all again next year. Super bad ass!

Live Broadcast

The Blow Waves did it live on the rooftop at JOY 94.9′s first ever live to air broadcast … and what a party!

Supported by DJ Rollerboy, the Blowies rocked out to a crowd of lucky radio listeners who were able to win themselves a ticket to this exclusive party.

Those who didn’t make it to the party were able to tune in, on the radio in Melbourne and all over the world via the online web stream.

All about the Blow Waves

// July 18th, 2008 // No Comments » // news

Fusing electro pop with a touch of cock rock, the Blow Wave’s have been described as punchy, rocky, disco, camp and full of punk attitude.

The Blow Waves are; Vocals – Matt Doll, Guitars – Jamie Wave, Keyboards – Byron St John, Bass – John Pants, and Drums – Jezz Beat.

The Blow Waves first performed together at a music festival in South Australia in 2006 and they haven’t stopped since. After playing at the famous Sydney Mardi Gras in 2008 and pounding the live circuit around the country, the band toured internationally in 2009 playing at the World Outgames in Copenhagen, the Manchester Pride Festival and a whole bunch of side shows in London and Berlin.

“The performance is a raunchy trashfest, and is epitomised by the band’s desire to have random underwear to be thrown at them while playing. Musically, every song has a simple, amazingly catchy hook, mostly in the form of sexy riffs that make the stripping of one’s clothes seam like the only way… Thus it is fair to say that if one were to have a trashy party, one would desire The Blow Waves to provide the live entertainment.” – Inpress Magazine
