HTRK

Mistletone proudly presents the return of Melbourne-born, London-based HTRK in their first Australian tour for over five years.

HTRK is Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang, a two-piece live electronic/noise/avant pop/rock act known for their subtlety of gesture and stubbornly languorous performances and capable of seducing audiences through disciplined waves of sonics, crisp 808 beats and soft, calm threats.

From the mid-2000s, HT…RK (pronounced “haterock”) toured Europe extensively at the personal request of Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Shellac, The Horrors, The Locust and Fuck Buttons. Their defiantly underground pedigree derives from strong associations with the late, great Rowland S. Howard and UK industrial legend Paul Smith, whose label Blast First Petite (Pan Sonic, Martin Rev) has just released their acclaimed new album Work (work, work), in the UK/Europe. The album has been released locally through Mistletone Records / Inertia, and in the US on Ghostly International.

Support comes from the intoxicating pre-fab beats of Melbourne’s Lost Animal, featuring Jarrod Quarrell (ex-St Helens) and Shags Chamberlain (Pikelet/Brous), fresh from releasing their acclaimed new album “Ex Tropical” out now on Sensory Projects, plus opening act to be announced.

Thursday, November 24: HTRK @ Goodgod Small Club with Lost Animal + special guests. Tickets on sale Monday September 12 from Moshtix.
