Hard to believe it’s been twenty years since one of Melbourne’s hardest working bands, Tiltmeter, abruptly stopped gigging, rehearsing and recording, but now they’re brushing off their beloved indie-punk-rock favourites for one final, and long overdue send off at the legendary Corner Hotel in Richmond.If you regularly saw live shows in the late 90’s early 2000’s then no doubt you remember Tiltmeter. For close to ten years Tiltmeter were an uncompromising powerhouse of energised riffery, vocals that reached to the stratosphere and melodies that pulled on the heartstrings all while drenched in sweat amidst adrenalized and often near-miss, on-stage collisions.
Their formidable live shows and enduring singles like Diamonds on The Appletree and Second Chance Draw and LPs Sterling Drive and No Protest. No Applause. saw four high school friends become a live staple that seamlessly, and regularly, supported an eclectic array of acclaimed bands from the likes of Incubus, Something for Kate, Airborne and Grinspoon to The Living End, Bodyjar, 28 Days and Kiss Chasey.
Reforming for one Melbourne show only to celebrate 20 years of radio silence, seeing Tiltmeter in their natural habitat is not to be missed.
Also reforming for the first time in ten years (and for one night only) is the mighty Bateman, who, with tongues firmly in cheeks, terrorised audiences with their party-punk/ hardcore anti social noise -inspired bangers and onstage antics.
With a sound that cuts across heavy, indie, and punk, monolithic Melbourne staples, As A Rival will be bringing their renowned energy, melody and intensity that is sure to leave jaws to the floor!
