Insound Tour Support Series, Vol. 15

Where did our indie-pop pioneers disappear to? Are the days of D.I.Y. dead? Will our classic heroes live again to tour like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Bauhaus. The answers to all these questions are not that simple to answer. But rest assured, our old favorites still endure. Take the Cannanes for example, these indie pioneers are still alive and kicking, still creating song after songs in their Australian home studio. This time around they've traded in their 4-tracks for Qbase sequencing software and they've gone digital. But not digital in a harsh way, digital in a humanly rough manner (true to their previous aural aesthetic.) With the help of ex-sukpatch beat-head, Steve Herman, they've managed to translate their pop prowess to hard disk and retain all their sincerity. So the days of classic indie-pop are not dead, they've just been tweaked for the better.

Insound is fortunate to have been given a few tracks and outtakes not used for their upcoming Slabco Records debut to be used as a tour support. They've finished touring the states recently with Steward and Even As We Speak, but will be touring the southern regions of the earth.

So fire up the arty barbecue, and enjoy those catchy hits.
