Forenzics

As part of Sydney’s Fringe Festival, the awesome folks at Glebe’s premier Jazz venue, Colbourne Ave have asked us to push the audio/visual boundaries into free synesthesia once more.

We’ll take you on a dark, noir-ish journey of sound and vision, with our sonic instincts and improvisation styles transforming post-rock, noise, jazz and electronic influences into an absolutely unique and engaging live experience. All enhanced by the intense yet atmospheric large scale live projections courtesy of RedCell Disorder.

The band’s line up for this show will feature, Dirk Kruithof on Guitar/Bass, Matthew Syres on Guitar, Joe Cummins on Trumpet, and Evan McGregor on Drums.

We’ll be playing two sets in this intimate and comfortable BYO venue.  Doors open at 8pm, advance tickets available through The Sydney Fringe Website or on the door.

Forenzics will be performing in duo mode once more, this time featuring Dirk Kruithof and Matthew Syres, both on guitar.  We are proud to support the enigmatic and intense Louis Burdett at this great night of out-there music kindly presented by Mondo Fondue.

Taking place at the Record Crate in Glebe, 32 Glebe Point Road, Glebe, with DJ’s kicking off proceedings at 7pm, followed by us around 8pm, Louis around 9pm.

For more details check out Mondo Fondue’s Facebook Page or RSVP and check for updates at our event page here.  There’s also a good chance Louis will sit in with us for at least some of our set, the last time that happened it sounded like this…  So don’t miss it – only five bucks!

Forenzics play a free show this Sunday 1st June, at StirrUp Gallery, 142 Addison Road, Marrickville, for the closing party of the Desert/Forest exhibition. There’s an eclectic mix of live music playing throughout the afternoon, kicking off at 2pm.  We’re on at 3pm and will be playing in our usual quartet format, though this time joined by long lost drummer Evan McGregor.  For those of you with long memories, he played with us at our Static and Silence album launch back in 2010, the entirety of which you can see on our YouTube Channel.  For more info about the other acts, and detailed running times, please check out the Facebook Event Page.

Forenzics will once again play their completely improvised, post rock influenced, experimental music at the Gladstone Hotel, 115 Regent St, Chippendale, Sydney.  This time we’ll be playing alongside Helpful Kitchen Gods, Honey Buckets and Curb, Sunday 27th October.

Our lineup for this show will be Matthew Syres on Guitar, Dirk Kruithof on Bass, Joe Cummins on Trumpet and Mystery Man on Drums.

Doors open at 5pm, entry is free, and the beer is cheap.

Thanks again to Michelle Barry, William Bowden and Ryota Yamamura for helping us make such an awesome sounding record, and Stuart Buchanan for releasing it.

We are proud to announce the imminent release and launch of our third album, Build Ruins, recorded back in 2009 with Japanese artist Ryota Yamamoto on electronics and Joe Cummins on trumpet.
