Parralox signs to PACHA Recordings!

2012-02-18T03:31:00.000+11:00

COAR/SUBTERRANE RECORDS sign worldwide deal with

PACHA RECORDINGS on PARRALOX / CREEP

COAR (Center Of Attention Records) and label partner SUBTERRANE RECORDS are very pleased to have signed a worldwide deal on PARRALOX - CREEP with well known and established PACHA RECORDINGS.

After getting loads of attention on the original and hi-street dance-floor mixes of CREEP especially the remix by Norwegian producer COSMIC DAWN on a more commercial level, things took a turn earlier this week.

A brand new BIG ROOM mix of CREEP was revealed, crafted by credible newbie PAULO CERRO.

Among others, Stephen Glen Hulme (head of legendary PACHA RECORDINGS) reacted positively to say the least!
"We were in no doubt that Stevie and his label would be the right way to work this release further on" says Fritz Niko (A&R and agent of Parralox).

In the near future PACHA RECORDINGS will put out a brand new international PACHA MIXES package of the Australian duo PARRALOX and their lovely rework of Radiohead's Creep, and it will get loads of support on the Pacha network.

“I love the Radiohead original, have hated every attempt at it since then by everybody, until today! Great work, This is gorgeous…I wanted it for Pacha Recordings instantly" says Stephen Glen Hulmes (MD, Pacha Recordings).

Goodbye Elisabeth Sladen

2011-04-23T03:42:00.000+10:00

The recent passing of Elisabeth Sladen (who portrayed Sarah Jane Smith in the Doctor Who serials) touched us so deeply that we wrote a song called Companion commemorating this wonderful actress and the character she brought to life.
This track has been on the net for a little over 12 hours and it's already been mentioned on the Doctor Who News Page (guess they travel faster than light too)...

Infest 2010 - The Drama Revealed!

2010-08-31T00:53:00.000+10:00

What a wild week! Now that the party is over we can give you all the juicy details of our brief trip to England.

It's a story involving Synths , Drugs, and Rock'n'Roll.

Let's go!

Part 1 -Trouble Brewing (Wednesday)

We arrived into Bradford in the small hours of the morning both feeling a little under the weather due to the hideous long-haul flight, which wasn't really helped by the 4 hour stop-over in Kuala Lumpar.

So we find our rather posh hotel (The Great Victorian) located across the road from the Bradford Interchange, which at the time was absolutely fantastic. We must thank Mark from Infest for accomodating us in such a wonderful hotel.

We then spent the next three days doing drugs in our rooms. Yes, we are really living the rock'n'roll lifestyle!

But it's not what you think.

Amii has been having more difficulty breathing, and is coughing more frequently, while my throat infection is slowly getting worse.

The drugs we party on are not as fancy as you'd expect, rather a mixture of Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Multivitamins, Magnesium and a few other basic supplements to aid in our road to recovery.

Then we start to notice a rather heavy police presence outside the Hotel, and we remember the email that the promoter sent us a few days ago, mentioning the fact that there was some protest happening on the Saturday of our performance. We hadn't really thought too much about it.

Part 2 - Panic in the Streets of Bradford (Saturday)

So on the Saturday, Amii is looking quite ill, although I was feeling slightly better. We arrive at the venue and Amii is barely able to walk and looking quite grey. Now I am starting to worry.

In my alter-ago I am a Registered Nurse, so I know all signs are pointing to a respiratory infection for Amii, and I am in denial, thinking that a few vitamins would fix everything.

So we have a few hours to go before we are due to perform, and Amii is barely able to stand and having difficulty breathing. It's at this stage that we realise that her health is now the priority and not the performance. So we have a meeting with the promoter, and Amii is rushed immediately to Bradord Royal Hospital.

She is seen at the Emergency Department and X-rayed and commenced on Anti-biotics.

We have had to cancel our performance @ Infest for Saturday, and re-schedule for Sunday again. All this on the assumption that Amii will have recovered enough to be able to perform.So after a few hours at the Hospital we make our way back into Bradford Central to our Hotel. Not so easy...

Why not you ask?

The city is now full of protesters (EDL) and we are in the middle of a race riot about to break out. We see 17 (!!) Riot vans rushing into the city.

We are now starting to get worried about our own personal safety, and our drivers have no idea how to get us back to our hotel as the entire city centre has been locked down. The Police would not allow us to go to our own hotel, and we didn't want to try to be honest.

You could see people gathering everywhere, from different groups and organisations and some of them were just itching to fight.

There was a sense of imminent disaster and we all agreed that we needed to get out of the city as fast as possible.

The situation was now getting desperate, you really had to be there to feel the anxiety we were all feeling.

Unable to return to our hotel we went to the hotel our driver was staying at.

So, the Parralox entourage (Amii, John, Nic Toupee (Tour Manager) and Mike Cooper (Stage Manager)) finally arrive at a new hotel and spend the night eating Tesco's salad and Rolo desserts.Meanwhile Amii is nearly comatose in her room, slowly recouperating.

Not exactly the Hilton, but we've seen the Bradford Hilton so we realise that glamour isn't essential to Bradford.We leave Amii to recover, while the rest of us go back to Infest to meet the people and do interviews etc. We were upset that we missed out on seeing Northern Kind performing, but we still got the chance to hang around with them backstage and have a panel interview with them, along with Chi Ming (The Electricity Club) , Steve Gray, Rob Grillo (Is That The 12 Inch?) and Jer White (Afront / Pansentient League). We end the evening seeing Rotersand perform live, which was awesome.

We heard the juciest of gossip too, which will make all electro fans wet their pants - but alas...we are sworn to secrecy.

Part 3 - A New Dawn (Sunday)

It's a new day and I wake to find Amii feeling slightly better. We cautiously wait until late morning to confirm with the promoter that Parralox will indeed be able to perform today at Infest.

We sadly leave behind our little rats nest of a Hotel and make our way back to Infest, ready to conquer the world (or at least a small portion of Bradford University to begin with).

We arrive at the venue to find a crowd slowly gathering, that's always a good sign. Our equipment is loaded in and we begin soundcheck. I plug in my laptop and hear a "snap" noise coming from inside and suddenly the screen goes blank.

The smell of fried electronics confirms to me what I already know - my laptop has died a sudden death (an hour before showtime!).

I happen to be the King Of Multiple Backups and so I have a choice of USB, CD, DVD and online archives from which to recover our show.

I transfer the backups to the FOH Engineers laptop and we are good to go.

Roll back the curtains and Parralox finally takes to the stage....(Stay tuned for photos.)

Special thanks to Mark Guy (INFEST) for simply being the most patient, kind and super-cool promoter we have met. Nic Toupee for making sure the event went smoothly for us, Mike Cooper for assistance backstage, Tails for his wonderful job as MC, and all the crew at Infest for their professionalism. Hello to all the other bands we met as well - Rotersand, Patenbrigade Wolff, X-RX & De/Vision.

Finally - Thank You to all the fans who came along. We may not know all of you, but we did see you singing along during the show.

Excellent review of Parralox - Isn't it Strange (CD) on the Fabtastic Blog!

2010-05-27T23:37:00.000+10:00

We really should be Googling our own name more often, as this wonderful review slipped us by. Thanks to Talion Law for submitting this one.

Please head over to Fabtastic! to read the entire article.

All good things..

2010-05-23T21:45:00.000+10:00

Now that our mini tour of Europe is over, we would like to thank all our fans for their support. It's been an amazing experience getting to know you all in person and up close.
It was gratifying to be so well received in every country we played in. Stay tuned for more live photos as they are constantly being uploaded by us and our fans.
Yesterday we had interviews with The Electricity Club and Electroqueer - and they will go live in a few weeks. Be sure to check out both sites for updates.
We are having a break for a week or so, and then go back to Australia for some live shows in Sydney, before returning to the studio in Melbourne to complete our 3rd album.

We will then commence work on video clips for Creep and our next single Supermagic. We will be back in Europe in August/September when we perform at Infest (UK) and more shows in Europe (TBA).

Thank you,

Amii + John

ps - While we were in Sweden we discovered an amazing song called Miami by Monostrip. OMG you HAVE to check it out.

Parralox @ Electroqueer (London)

2010-05-21T11:01:00.000+10:00

Wow - can we just say a BIG thanks to Raj Rudolph, Chi, DJ Adam, Dear Martin, Bim and everyone who came to see us play live at Electroqueer tonight in London. Not a full house, but certainly the most enthusiastic crowd we've ever played to. Totally.

Thanks for cheering at the end of each song - and then demanding THREE encores! We walked away feeling like superstars.

A big thanks to all our fans who travelled far and wide to attend. It was a pleasure to meet you all in person and chat. We know some of you drove for many hours just to see us perform, and we humbly appreciate it. Especially one guy who forged a sick certificate so he could get the day off work (we won't say your name - in case your boss is a Parralox fan too LOL) We could go on to list all the names of the people we'd like to thank, but you know who you are. We managed to speak to most of you tonight.

Stay tuned for a flood of photos...

We love you London.

Parralox European Tour Update - May 16

2010-05-16T22:08:00.000+10:00

It's been a few days since our last update, but it feels like a lifetime ago.
The Parralox shows in Berlin and Dresden were fantastic, and the crowd were so supportive! In Dresden last night we played 3 Encores, it was a really amazing experience.

For the last song (since we ran out of tracks, and hadn't planned on playing 3 (!) encores) we got the drummer from Versus on stage with us to do a completely unplugged version of Isn't It Strange. We also debuted a new track (Supermagic) and played that again in the encore.

Extra special thanks to Niels & Ange Piesker, Sarah Endres, Ingo Moller, Matzi, Splani, Nancy, Doreen, Empire in Dust, Ostrich, Versus, Endless Shame & Pleasant Fiction and the many others we forgot to mention. The after show party at Dresden with all the bands was nearly as much fun as the show itself. You guys all totally rock!

Today we arrived in Gothenburg and are now spending some time with Sebastian Hess (Wonderland Records). We are just doing some last minute rehearsals for our show tonight with Universal Poplap at Pustervik in Gothenburg. Can't wait to play with Universal Poplab..

Next live shows..
May 16 - Pustervik (Gothenburg, Sweden) - Universal Poplab & Parralox
May 20 - Bar Music Hall (London, UK) - Electroqueer with Bim, Dear Martin & Parralox
Aug 27 - Infest 2010 (Bradford, UK)

ps - live pics from all the shows will be posted shortly.

Welcome to Parralox

2010-05-07T02:15:00.000+10:00

We've decided to start a blog here on blogspot, which will make it easier to send Atom/RSS feeds to our facebook, reverbnation, twitter and myspace blogs.
As we are about to start our our of Europe and decided a central blog like this would be easier to post to.
We plan on daily updates, depending on how busy/tired/fabulous we are. Let's see how it goes.

Without further ado - welcome to the Parralox blog!
