Traps – Melbourne Shows

Returning To Melbourne January 2010

TRAPS harness the dark and dirty to create songs of indie beauty. Characterised by distinctive vocals, driving rhythms and swelling guitars, their recent releases have confirmed them as the strong song-writing band that they are.

For the first of what will be a few trips to Melbourne in 2010 Traps are playing

• Friday, January 22 PONY Late show 2am

• Saturday, January 23 COLONIAL HOTEL Rats presents

• Monday, January 25 THE JOHN CURTAIN BANDROOM Australia Day Eve

• Tuesday, January 26 THE ESPY Australia Day

On their last visit to Melbourne…

As of November 2009, Traps don’t own that ‘indie rock’ label as fully as they used to. In its place is something a little more diverse, the percussion ramping up, Kieran Day experiencing some Buckley moments on vocals and the guitars ramming it home with plenty to do. It’s less We Are Scientists and more Eddy Current. Less indie, more noise, more psych, more fitting for their new label, Rice Is Nice…Hopefully it wont be another year before Traps are back in Melbourne.
