The Twerps EP
On:
Chapter Music, Night People
Launch:
With Beaches and Scott & Charlene's Wedding. Fri Nov 13 at the Abruzzo Club, 377 Lygon St, East Brunswick. Doors 8pm, entry $10.
Imagine the sound of a pocket full o' loose change amplified by a contact mic, duplicated 577 times and broadcast with the volume cranked at 11. This ain't no John Cage composition I'm describing but the wild jangle that is contained within the lilting, delicate pop of The Twerps.
Recorded by Mikey 'Eddie Current' Young, The Twerps' self-titled debut exudes a refreshing candour. It is music as much grounded in classic '60s garage and surf rock as it is in recent southern-hemisphere pop anglers such as The Bats and The Clean. Standout tracks include the sweaty teenage, tongue-in-cheek romp 'Dance Alone' and the frolicking anthem 'I Fought Fings' in which singer Marty Frawley states; "It's you! That I waannnnttt".
Speaking of wants, you can have The Twerps at your disposal, performing with Beaches and Scott & Charlene's Wedding this Friday for the launch of their impending EP. For the extra keen, the four-track vinyl comes with five bonus tracks on a CD. Bang!
