Reminiscent of a mad scientist, Methyl Ethel's precision and concentration is such an intimate thing to witness.

Methyl Ethel has been trying to tour for the past two years, but leaving Western Australia proved to be an issue with all of the lockdowns. So his Brisbane show at Fortitude Music Hall marked Jake Webb (aka Methyl Ethel) and his band's first gig out of the 6000 postcode, and it felt like a big celebratory moment.

It's been an alluring three nights for any fans of dreamesque Indie rock in Melbourne, as Methyl Ethyl and their haunting opening act, Ash Baroque & Les Fleurs d'Ombre spent their evenings at the Night Cat.

[T]his is music that gets your body moving subconsciously; you dont realise youre bopping until its too late.

I was taken aback when the boys first entered, all awkward and obscured by curly tuffs of hair and dorky t-shirts.

The band’s sound was deeply rhythmic, the mood shaped by the darkness.
