Oh goodness, is this good. Love how the female vocals cool down the slightly impassioned male vocals. Jangly guitars. Dig!

Boomgates - ‘Layman’s Terms’
My first introduction to Boomgates came last Thursday as they belted through a great set in support of Thee Oh Sees. I’ve been kind of vaguely aware of them for a while though without actually knowing much about them. Made up of members of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Dick Diver, The Twerps, Teen Archer and Trial Kennedy, they form a pretty phenomenal ‘supergroup’ (ugh) of sorts.
Sharing vocal duties, Steph Hughes’ cool demeanour combined with Brendan Huntley’s chaotic presence makes their live shows something to be seen. I haven’t been this entertained by a set in a long time.
Check out their track ‘Layman’s Terms’ above off of their album Double Natural
“You talk about those bands - Pop Singles, Panel of Judges, Twerps, Dick Diver, the list goes on - but none of those bands sound the same. Like Scott & Charlene's Wedding, they might be put in the same basket as Panel of Judges but they sound completely different. I don't know what it is. Maybe we all just love the same stuff and everyone's interpreting it in different ways. ”
—I talked to Rick from Boomgates about the Melbourne music scene in a new column for Everguide called A Good Town For It.
