It was a fascinating set packed with various influences and altogether deeply entrancing.

It is always pleasing when a support band complements the main act of the night so well; it's like the perfect entrée leading you into the tantalizing main course of the evening. And that is exactly what Australian 3 piece Crooked Colours were tonight.

The group’s growing appeal is easy to understand while listening to one of their three self-tiled LPs at high volume or when engulfed live in their pulsing beats and bleep-bloop aesthetic.
