It's back again - Ric's Exposed - a band comp running on Sunday nights at Ric's Bar in the Brunswick St Mall. I popped down for the second heat and saw some great talent.
The night kicked off with
Dance To Blackout (pictured below), a three-piece who entertained the crowd with their indie-pop-rock tunes. They closed their set with a track from their EP which made good use of dynamics between soft and loud. Check out Dance To Blackout on Facebook
here and on soundcloud
here .
Next up was
Bone Collective (pictured below). Known as Little Blue Dogs when I reviewed them
#8206 ;">
here , I was looking forward to some more dirty progressive acid-blues goodness from this five-piece band. I was suitably impressed, their opening track delivering eight solid minutes of aural bliss, followed by another couple of awesome tracks. Commanding much more presence than the first band, it was unsurprising that they won the heat of the night. More about Bone Collective on Facebook
here .
Third on the night was
Tagline (pictured below), who was a little more pop-punk, with a driving rock sound. Another good band, who delivered a number of great songs, you can find them on Facebook
here and listen to tracks of theirs on Triple J Unearthed
here .
There were a total of five bands on the night, including one of my favourite straight-up rock'n'roll bands
Race Of The Harridan (previously reviewed
here ) and
Imperius Rex (who I didn't get a chance to see).
Ric's Exposed Band Comp is running heats now and if it's anything like
