TOUR ON TICK 2012 - CABLE35 & VALENTIINE
Three messy girls from Australia and 3 even messier boys from Malta team up to make one loud guitar frenzy this October as they tour Europe and the UK providing fans with loud guitars, raw punk rock and 90’s style grunge on their 2012 Tour. They’ve been called a female version of Nirvana, like it or not, this Australian all girl 3 piece “Valentiine”, loved in their home town of Australia’s guitar rock city (Melbourne), make an impact whenever they play. Their first tour in Europe is set to pave the way for more kick arse grrrl rock building on the tradition of riot grrrl punk rock before them. It’s independent, DIY, and all on tick!
“Cable35” now based in the UK have done the hard yards over past years touring Sicily, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, the UK and Scotland sleeping in their van under guitars, drums and amps surrounded by empty bottles of booze…… These boys are developing a reputation and described as “loud, brash and uniquely brilliant”. They’ve rolled out the red carpet for the girls to take them on A European tour and they love it!!! Both bands released debut full length albums in 2011 and have released recent singles “Saturated” and “Chucky” as they work towards the release of their second albums expected in early 2013.
See ya’ll at a show…… and yes, it’s your shout!

Cable 35
We were recently put onto a band called Cable 35 by a young lady named Lilly Lea, she says they’re loud…..and since that’s my own personal criteria for most things I figured it only right that I check them out and see what they had to offer! This is the first band we’ve ever featured from Malta so this could well be something new for us!
Opening with Cow Head, everything opens grungy, sludgy and downright dirty, sounding almost off beat and bizarre as you become accustomed to the guitar and drum combo. Kicking in properly to a syncopated section of roving guitar lines, pounding drums, solid bass and gravelly vocals, the track builds into something reminiscent of the more bizarre Nirvana tracks, yet with something different added to it, it’s really hard to express in words what this sounds like without over using the word bizarre, but it really is at first listen! Having said that, don’t assume because I say that that it must be bad, it is infact something pretty cool to behold – the vocals are almost screechy at times which when combined with a simple yet effective drum, bass and guitar combo, you get a track which really pulls you in and makes you listen to what’s going on!
Memories follows on, once again opting to open with guitars and drums before kicking the vocals in to energise the track fully. This track is more conventional in the way that it’s put together, almost sounding odd in itself after the previous track. What I really like here though is the strange xylophone sounds they’ve managed to incorporate into the track, when combined with the ‘lalalala’ vocals you’ve got something which on paper shouldn’t work, yet somehow it does! Following the Factory Floor sample (taster which incidentally makes me want to hear the full track) you kick into Boogie Man – a track which seems to hold all of the makings of a true grunge anthem. There’s a real element of the older stuff Feeder did here, it’s got that layered vocal approach over the guitars which turns the track from something simple into something bigger and more powerful. Personally, I reckon this track must be epic on the live scene, it’s got all of the traits which will make crowds go wild from powerful guitar lines, harmonic sections and soaring vocals through to a solid and pounding beat.
Harry comes in next, a track which demonstrates not only the bands grunge tendencies but also their punk roots. The drums are much simpler this time around and further enhance the powerful vocal line, what you’re presented with once the guitars and bass are also brought in is a track which is almost catchy but mostly powerful – it’s nigh on impossible to imagine this just being a 3 piece band! Mary is further testament to this, opening with a relatively simply guitar line before chucking in a roving lead line over it, the bass kept high in the mix and the drums rolling around to create a further sense of movement in the track. The progression of the guitars on this track creates something which will pull you in, then the vocals will shock you into questioning what the hell is going on once again. Again, not saying it’s a bad thing, but the chorus section will really catch you off guard, I don’t want to spoil it but wow…..didn’t see it coming!
Animal Rules finishes of the selection on the Facebook page, once again opening with layers of bass, drums and guitars before bringing in the vocals over everything. Again sounding almost disjointed in its form, this track seems to summarise everything so far and leaves you wanting to know what else these guys can do. Catchy once again, this track is quite possibly my favourite from the selection here, there’s something odd about it yet there’s a really catchy element to it as well, this is one you need to hear!
I didn’t know what to expect from a band from Malta, but I guess now I know…..and it’s all good! I love that they’re producing music which doesn’t necessarily conform to what you would expect, it offers up little surprises which catch you off guard at each turn, each time reassuring you that it’s all good and making you enjoy what they’ve done. The sheer power these guys come up with as well is far beyond a 3 piece band, all that’s left is for me to get out there and see if they can do it live as well!
