The Civil Civic automnal assault has started …

 In Tippex bands, Tippex misc

CIVIL CIVIC are on the road for their second Europe tour !
If you haven’t heard about them yet (have you ??!!!), CIVIL CIVIC is a Europe-based Australian instrumentalists who look determined to cement their reputation as “the thinking persons party band”, whatever the cost to themselves, music or humanity at large. They mix jagged progressive post-punk guitar, jamming fuzz-bass and pummeling drum machine beats, delivered in a no-frills lo-fi-pop package Press has described them as “the lovechild of SONIC YOUTH and LIGHTNING BOLT and filed them next to BATTLES, BEBOP DELUX, KING CRIMSON.

Other cool news is their new single “LIGHTS ON A LEASH” on Too Pure in december. It is a veritable mind melt of sonic manipulation. Twisting and turning at seemingly random points to create a truly absorbing and visceral whole that should, provided you’re not dead from the neck up get you out of your seat and dancing around the room like a lunatic undergoing shock therapy. The launch party will take place at Old Blue Last (London, UK) on december 9th. In the meantime you can watch the video to “LIGHTS ON A LEASH” (available pre-release on their website) and read below the story behind the track.
