After a long wait, Ohana's second album 'Dead Beat' is available nationally as of today.<br /><br />A reaction to what the band saw as weaknesses in their debut, Dead Beat sees a sharp pull of focus on to concise, restrained composition. No longer interested in playing to acute shifts in dynamics, the quartet recognised that rather than limitless vehicles, their songs are geometric spaces with defined dimensions- all too easily filled up by the first strike of a traditional rock instrument. Space is the elusive factor, and the tension arising from creating it with items designed to remove it defines a band making crucial, independent Australian music.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Dead Beat was recorded at Head Gap in Melbourne by Neil Thomason (My Disco, Further, Love of Diagrams) and mastered by Bob Weston (Shellac) in mid-2008.</span><br /><br />Ohana will be touring in October:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Friday, October 3: Music Farmers, Wollongong (AA)<br />Saturday, October 4: Spectrum, Sydney<br />Friday, October 10: Brisbane Hotel, Hobart<br />Saturday, October 11: Arts Alive, Launceston (AA)<br />Friday, October 17: Croatian Club, Newcastle<br />Saturday, October 18: Rosie's, Brisbane<br />Thursday, October 23: Hyde Park Hotel, Perth<br />Friday, October 24: Shape, Perth<br />Saturday, October 25: Jade Monkey, Adelaide<br />Thursday, October 30: Gangbusters, Canberra<br />Friday, October 31: The Birmingham, Melbourne<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d101/123ohana/DEAD-BEAT-08-TOUR-poster-we.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d101/123ohana/DEAD-BEAT-08-TOUR-poster-we.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="postbody"><br /></span></div> <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;"><a name="0.1_1"></a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/699695566995081382-7438329098668771323?l=ir001.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Imperative Residencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213648406100332156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699695566995081382.post-1649102955251580252008-08-05T04:23:00.000-07:002008-08-05T04:27:55.899-07:00test test test test test test test hello.<br /><br />This is the temporary home of Imperative Residence, an Australian record label whose first release will be the second album from Ohana.<br /><br />test test test test test test test byee.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/699695566995081382-164910295525158025?l=ir001.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Imperative Residencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213648406100332156noreply@blogger.com0
