The UV Race Support SLAM
In support of National SLAM day, The Toff in Town is proud to present a massive night of Melbourne's most punk and chaotic bands featuring The UV Race, Bitch Prefect and Repairs.
The full-length debut masterpiece from Melbourne avant-tard six piece The UV Race, follows two limited-edition (and now highly sought after) seven inch singles released here and in the USA and has fulfilled the potential only hinted at on those EPs. Produced by Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, it brings to mind some of the cornerstones of mid '70s proto-punk (Modern Lovers, Gizmos, Electric Eels and the like), The UV Race likewise avoid rote punk trappings with their sophisticated use of piano and saxophone, and the over-riding presence of singer Marcus’ introverted musings on life as a small town misfit. His sincerity and unconventionality is what makes the UV Race compelling listening.
Head down to The Toff In Town on Thursday February 23 to watch them tear up the joint, with help from Bitch Prefect and Repairs.

My mind still twitches at the syntax of the SLAM acronym. Anyways, should be a rad show for a rad cause.
