30th Nov 07. Fri. 9.30pm. $25. Esplanade Recital Studio. Yes, it's three days away. =)
Like its name suggests, Astreal's brand of indie-rock transports the listener out of this world to stellar regions. Formed in 1992, these ardent shoegazers have been wandering, probing, forcing new sounds out of the effects pedals to bring audiences saturated sound flashes.
Their first two demos, Dive Gemma (1993) and Chlorine Explosion (1994), and one sugary dream pop album, Ouijablush, featured twin guitar attack, angel-on-acid vocals, and loose-limbed rhythms. After that, Astreal proceeded to destroy everything saccharine with their sophomore album Fragments of the Same Dead Star, which reflects the band's progression into darker grooves.
Astreal has played on home ground at the Substation, Zouk, Zoukout 2006, Home Club and Lime Sonic Bang '06, Baybeats '03, '04 & '06 as well in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. Fragments, their second album was lauded as being one of the best local releases by IS Magazine, MTVAsia and Music For America.
Astreal is Ginette Chittick on bass and vocals, Muhammad Alkhatib on guitar and
Redzuan Hussin on drums.
(60mins, no intermission)
Tickets available at all Sistic outlets.
Oh oh oh, and did I mention a special surprise? *raise eyebrows*
