The Swiss (Modular) Live! tickets and listings

ALTHOUGH WE’VE REDUCED THE FREQUENCY OF CONTORT YOURSELF PROPER TO ONCE A MONTH, THIS DOESN’T MEAN WE’RE LETTING UP ON THE PARTY ACTION. MOVING BACK TO ONCE A MONTH ALLOWS US TO FREE UP SOME TIME AND GET STUCK INTO SOME NEW LITTLE JAUNTS, PRESENTING LIVES SHOWS, THROWING ONE OFF PARTIES, SECRET RAVES AND ALL MANOR OF DISCOID NONSENSE. 

ITS NO SECRET THAT WE’RE CLOSE “MAN FRIENDS” WITH THE NOW WAVE TROUPE, SO IT COMES AS LITTLE SURPRISE TO SEE US TEAMING UP WITH THEM ONCE AGAIN TO PRESENT A RATHER SPECIAL LITTLE SUNDAY NIGHT SOIREE! SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO WE PRESENT TO YOU AUSTRAILIA’S HOTTEST NEW BOUTIQUE DISCO STARS… THE SWISS

“In a time when everyone who isn't Crookers is claiming to be a "disco act", there is an insurmountable wash of pretenders. Adelaide trio The Swiss, however, are a legit live disco band who's existence is based entirely on flavour and good times rather than the Cobra Snake and fitted caps. (NERDY BIT: They are a band who are getting Giancarlo Meo tattoos rather than looking up Giorgio Moroder best-of tracklists)
The Bubble Bath EP on Modular Recordings (out February 2010) is testament to what lies at the core lifestyle of The Swiss: crisp and snappy drums, quicksand laser-sludge bass, dizzy pops & flourishes, melody rays and synthesised strings that glide on the thermal currents of life. It's as much a breathy telephone call as it is a mid-range Bordeaux shared between ensconced lovers. Beyond the raw and sensual output of the band themselves, the EP also comes stacked with two floor-ready remixes from facecrushers Knightlife and Tensnake.
Beyond signing to Modular, lighting up the festival circuit, getting “Bubble Bath” added to national rotation on Triple J, supporting Ladyhawke on her national tour and readying a national tour of their own, The Swiss’ journey to the centre of 4/4 has so far not gone unnoticed. Erol Alkan & Sinden have uttered some kind words, Aeroplane are opening many a set with a Swiss jam and showing the three-piece glowing chart appreciation, but most of all the kids at the shows are going señor bananas. The stars are aligning and they play drums, bass and keys in The Swiss.
Harvesting hits in the studio with Australian mega-producer/songwriter Donnie Sloan (Empire Of The Sun) The Swiss have a lot to live up to when hitting the stage; they deliver every time with a searingly hot, intensely energetic live show.”
