REVIEW: The Mermaids – Love From The Vegetable Kingdom

There's a new Australian website called Crawlspace dedicated to "mostly about strange / weird / beautiful / repugnant Australian music." There's a section called Scum Mecca with reviews in it. Here is one of them.

  

Mermaids – Love From The Vegetable Kingdom CS (Grog Pappy)

New tape on what is easily one of the best tape labels in the cuntry. One part Cock Safari, other part Polyfox, Mermaids is a project usually reserved for cheap laughs and cheaper sounds emitted via a range of toys and abused Nintendo applications. Love From The Vegetable Kingdom sees the Mermaids paired up with Nylstoch (Unaustralians, Venting Gallery) on a rare Melbourne sojourn earlier in the year. Although elements of their toys creep underneath at times (definitely could pick an annoying siren I’ve heard used at least once before), Nylstoch’s hysterical overdriven geet and presumed later drumming mutates the Mermaids into a much more threatening beast. The animal lurches, stumbles and crashes into a heap of low-end blow-out and cymbal collapse. Grog Pappy provides what is probably the greatest insight into Newcastle you are likely to get, outside of getting your head kicked in outside The Kent. This tape’s covers are printed on paper found in one of the many derelict buildings in the Newcastle “CBD” (I use the term very loosely) before it was demolished. My copy has a list of many of Newcastle’s suburbs in its background, and I probably have a fucked story associated with every one of them. There is no love in this vegetable patch.

VAGRANT #5 – Scattered Order, Dracopede, The Mermaids

with

SCATTERED ORDER
DRACOPEDE
THE MERMAIDS


SATURDAY 15TH JULY 2012
The Terrace Bar, 529 Hunter St, Newcastle
Free Entry, Bands from 8pm



Scattered Order finally, ultimately bring the 3 headed noise monster back to Newcastle.
Confounding listeners for decades with their genre bending approach to sound, Scattered Order are currently in full flight after a massive re-energising. The band that founded the legendary Australian post punk M Squared label has been exhilarating audiences over the last two years with their totally unique approach to noise and tune.
Their multi-layered, sometimes abrasive, sometimes blissful sound is aimed at producing a third entity from the combination of noise with melody, adding seductive beats and eccentric processing.
Scattered Order will perform under the writhing light of live video projections by Living Science Dept.
