$INFINITY BROKE - SYDNEY ALBUM LAUNCH w\/ The Gin Palace + Peter Fonda$

Formed in 2013 by founding Bluebottle Kiss member Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss), Infinity Broke are a quartet that have been described by Rolling Stone Australia as ‘A powerful exercise in dissonance, rhythm, and melody’. The band’s two headed percussive approach (Scott Hutchings on drums/guitar and Tyrone Stevens on aux drums/percussion) alongside Jamie on guitar/vocals and Reuben Wills on bass has seen them hypnotise audiences all over the east coast, as well as throughout France where the band has toured twice. The group releases its fourth album ‘This Masthead’ on April 4th 2025 via Love As Fiction/Come To The Dark Side Luke Music.
Recorded over five days at Stranded Studios in Bellambi, NSW by Cody Moore and mixed by frontman Jamie Hutchings, This Masthead was inspired by rhythm-heavy jam sessions. Whilst a claustrophobic push and pull informs much of it, there are moments of ethereal beauty as well as lyrical rabbit warrens.
Catch Infinity Broke at The Trocadero Room: Hypnotic avant-rock with teeth!
‘Infinity Broke have always thrived in that murky, experimental space and here, they push it even further, creating something that feels both raw and meticulously crafted’ Amnplify
‘Infinity Broke always have the demeanor of an out of control oil tanker plunging through a thunderstorm in a Tsunami: barely controlled chaos that manages to enthrall and hypnotise in a cotton wool cocoon while leaving you clutching your pearls with joy.’ Backseat Mafia
‘It all amounts to a swirling miasma of underground noise rock and post-punk dissonance that perfectly balances structure and free-form sonic expressionism.’ Doubtful Sounds
Supporting on the night is indie super-group The Gin Palace. Fronted by musician/actor and author Peter Fenton of Crow, with Paul McDonald (Glide, Charlie Horse), Mark Tobin (Scarlet Caligula, The Finalists) Marc Lynch (Glide, Joeys Coop) and Brad Christmas and Gareth Richards of Copperline. The group are a knee trembling, pulse quickening line-up of pure vintage spirit. Musically The Gin Palace possesses a dark rock grace, the kind of bruised beauty that bands like The Bad Seeds and The Afghan Whigs do so well.
Opening proceedings are Sydney trio Peter Fonda. Born from the ashes of groups such as The Woods Themselves and Machine Machine. Peter Fonda are unstylish, rarely pretty, often cathartic and excitingly non-sensical. Their third LP is on its way.
