Flamingo Crash, MOVE

What’s up with FLAMINGO CRASH?

A few years ago a band was formed “…with one foot entrenched in the past (Wire, XTC, Talking Heads, The Ex) and another in some ethereal neverland.”


The band was noisy and quiet, liked sharp angles and soft shapes, played vintage instruments and brand new ones, liked enchanting rhymes and forbidden tales, loud drums and invisible sounds and most of all, making music with everything they had until forever.

After releasing the limited edition Shoot the Lights Out 7” on vinyl, Flamingo Crash recorded their debut album TRIANGLE ISLAND, produced by Magoo (Midnight Oil, Regurgitator, Gerling) in the Australian bush and mastered in New York City by Steve Fallone (The Strokes, Sonic Youth, TV on the Radio).

Australian and Japanese tours have further established Flamingo Crash’s live gatherings of tribal beats, tight space pop and frantic rock'n'roll. They have shared stages with such world-class acts as The Go! Team, Maximo Park, Lily Allen, The Bravery, Love is All, The Presets, You Am I, Operator Please and The Galvatrons, The Basics and End Of Fashion.

Flamingo Crash have sparked whispers on the street, played in your city, danced through your airwaves, and have a debut album that is as much influenced by celebration as it is by imagination. The first single off the record, ‘It’s Mystery Music’, went straight into high rotation on Triple J.

Flamingo Crash are currently writing and making demos their next record.

The disco hustlers – The smarter Yanks (Glass Candy Chromatics) are throwing sharp angles and soft shapes, freaking out to the cool sounds of post-disco. The smarter Aussie are, too – Flamingo Crash mix post-Brooklyn hipster swagger with a kid who drums like he’s the new Clem Burke from Blondie to dance rhythms as sharp as MIA’s. Check out: ’Yes? Yes? Yes?’ from
debut ‘Triangle Island’. – EVERETT TRUE – NME UK
