Description:
Just after Jesus dies tomorrow there's a party on at The Empress. And, like the good man, these acts have skills that many people won't coin onto until they start getting some proper coverage. The Tantrums are doing that spaced synthy stuff better than anyone else already, and they've only played two shows. Pets With Pets are always great but they never tell anyone that they're playing. Even when they supported No Age they didn't make a big deal out of it. And Tic Toc Tokyo have just got back after pashing strangers in Brooklyn and that's pretty exciting because they're a good band and everybody likes kissing. What are you waiting for, the New Testament? - PM

About
ThreeThousand is a subcultural guide to Melbourne, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Melbourne writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
