CLOUD ICE 9 & MERCY PLEASE [NAARM] @ Season Three (echo&bounce loft)

+ local guests DAWDLE

--
Hailing from the long Naarm lockdown and a slow, fruitful gestation in the barns and attics of sharehouses, Cloud Ice 9 has blossomed into one of the most adventurous and bewildering bands of the post-covid Antipodes.

“We were out the back just playing with these little keyboards for hours and hours and sort of growing the hive mind and building the weird, like, sound world or whatever.”

Cloud Ice 9’s sound world is hard to categorise. Any hints of familiar genres or classic songwriting devices are made strange by everything else, from kooky toy instruments to surreal stories from robot voices. Much like their previous records 8 Ball (2020), Circus St (2002) & Hocus Pocus (2023), their latest LP Globophobia (2025) is an odyssey of darkly humorous musings on humanity, floating on a bed of wonky experiments and the dankest grooves that could ever have been mistakenly summed up as post-punk.

Howling brass and electronic psychedelia peppered on top of a rock n roll beat, Mercy Please reflects the blues into the modern age. They have quickly built a reputation for their powerful live shows — a mix of soaring vocals, gyrating grooves, and an undeniable energy that fills the room.

Local trio Dawdle shall be helming support duties for CI9 and Mercy Please' first Meanjin show.

No charge for First Nations punters or trans people of colour wishing to attend.
