LOOKING FORWARD

BRENDAN HUNTLEY

OPENING FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 6 - 9PM
EXHIBITION SAT 12 UNTIL SAT 26 SEPTEMBER

"Brendan Huntley has exhibited across such spaces as the Carlton Hotel, Someday Gallery and Hell Gallery. 'Looking Forward' is the fifth solo exhibition from Brendan Huntley. Stemming from a background in graffiti, Brendan now divides his energy between painting and sculpture. When out of his studio, Brendan spends his time eating olives and fronting garage rock band Eddy Current Suppression Ring.

'Looking Forward' is an exhibition that presents Brendan's explorations into the human psyche. Working with ink, pastel, enamel, oil stick on paper and ceramic he has produced an assortment of vessels, infusing them with individual sensibilities.

Through sculptural and two-dimensional forms, multiple personalities are evoked and
the facade of the everyday revealed. Brendan's works are concerned with the beauty of the mundane, dealing with the ordinary and what often lies beneath. Investigating our joys, fears, thoughts and observations on life.

Either through his lyrics or his artworks, Brendan is determined to voice his concerns.
His work is marked by a compulsive truth and honesty that speaks of what it is to be human."

Track Listing :
Side One: The Bats – Castle Lights
Side One: The Bats – Under the Branches

Side Two: Songs – My Number
Side Two: Songs – Keeping it Clean (Acoustic)

Label: The Spring Press
Format: 7"

"Greatly influential New Zealanders The Bats bring us two new tracks; one an excerpt from their new album The Guilty Office and the other an unreleased outtake from the same sessions; two tracks of their signature understated guitar pop. Sydney based Songs bring us an acoustic version of Keeping it Clean and a new track My Number which employs old motorik rhythms with the melodies of their debut. The 7" cover features new work by photographer (and Songs member) Max Doyle." - The Spring Press

Naked On The Vague - Chitty Chat

Track Listing :
Side A: Chitty Chat
Side B: Goodbye Dear Cliche

Label: Sacred Bones
Format: 7"

"Australia’s Naked on the Vague return for another two-sider of serious harsh downer vibes. Drum, synth, bass and vocal ferocity from this male/female duo that comes out sounding like a surprisingly more danceable version of Whitehouse. Fans of last year’s Skulltones 7-inch and Siltbreeze full-length won’t be disappointed." - Sacred Bones
