Flyying Colours

“Chances are this tune from Flyying Colours is going to make a fan out of you! Presumptuous sure, but these guys are belting out a noise that instantly pricks peoples ears up” – Sounds Better With Reverb “Melbourne has a solid lineup of bands with an ear to early 90s shoegaze, and in an increasingly crowded sub-genre Flyying Colours differentiate themselves with an important feature- they know exactly what they’re doing.” – Tonedeaf

Flyying Colours make reverb drenched pop music that echoes sounds of shoegaze, postpunk and psychedelia.

The astonishing reaction to their mesmerizing live shows in Melbourne was followed up in April 2013 by their debut single release “wavygravy”. TheVine.com.au said wavygravy “sounds like a band with the confidence of having found their sound. Loud and sharp and sounding polished (as much as shoegaze can), 'Wavygravy' churns with absolute force.”

In October they released their debut self-titled EP produced by Woody Annison (children collide, red rider). Distributed by UMA Distribution, the EP featured the lead in tracks Wavy Gravy , Like You Said and Bugs. Highlights included being added to rotation on FBi, being in AIrit’s top 5 charts for a month with high rotation on RTR and 4ZZZ, Played on JJJ, featured on Tonedeaf, TheMusic.Com.Au, RAGE, Fasterlouder, Messandnoise, Beat Magazine, Poncho TV, and wavygravy being featured as Itunes single of the week and being downloaded 40 thousand times. They Toured the East Coast and supported bands such as We Are Scientists, The Cairos, The Murlocs, and Wolf and Cub and had residencies at Cherry and The Espy.

But it was the international blogosphere that really got behind them, posting their psychedelic filmclips on sites the world over. It didn’t take long for the international music industry to come knocking and 5 months later in March this year the EP was released in UK/Europe through Club ac30 and in the USA through Shelflife, being played regularly on BBC, Amazing radio and XFM and featured on international blogs like clash magazine online

“Not Today” is another cracker of a single to follow up from the much loved “Wavy Gravy”. Guitars swirl behind rhythm-section brothers Josh and Sam’s most incessant beat yet, topped off with trading boy/girl vocals, with even a hint of a chorus.

The guys have some select Australian shows before preparing for their first UK and European tour in the not too distant future.

“a pitch-perfect rendition of all of the songs from their newest EP with a couple of extras, displaying a passion and energy even more intense than their recorded tracks provide. Far from being a static, shoegazing performance, the lead singer’s onstage antics and the band’s obvious affection for one another made them a joy to watch on stage” – 4ZZZ
