Radiant Sounds of Dust

The Radiant Sounds of Dust are a psych-rock-shoegaze-space-haze-exploratorary-hallucinatory rock n roll band based in Bristol. Formed by J. Tambakis and C. McCracken after they bonded over a love of vintage guitars, valve amps, effects pedals and rock n roll...they are two hedonists in love with the sound of silence as much as noise, crafting sound in space using acoustics, electronics weaving them into songs and noise.

The Cruel Sea

The Cruel Sea is a multi-ARIA Award winning 90s Australian rock/blues outfit. Originally an instrumental band focused on surf sounds, the addition of vocalist Tex Perkins (also a member of The Beasts Of Bourbon and a solo artist) proved an inspired decision. Combining the charismatic Perkins with the highly talented musicians created an unstoppable force through much of the 90s. Members of the band continue to perform, though with the exception of Perkins, most activity is fairly low key.
