What’s up with FLAMINGO CRASH? A few years ago in an inner-city suburb of Brisbane a band was formed “…with one foot entrenched in the past (Wire, XTC, Talking Heads, The Ex and all the good stuff) and another in some ethereal neverland.” (Rave Magazine) Now The Crash, as they are affectionately known, have finally decided to make a record. After the recent release of ‘TOYS / SHOOT THE LIGHTS OUT’ Double A-side single (the first 500 available on limited edition green vinyl) the band have embarked on their debut full-length album, produced by ARIA award winner Magoo (Midnight Oil, Gerling) & mastered by Steve Fallone (TV on the Radio, The Strokes) in New York City. Triangle Island is shaping up to be one of the years most dynamic releases, merging old ideas with new consequences, spiky guitars & silky synths, and ecstasy with melancholy as if they had been living together as far as you can remember; songs about a place where the city kids worry about snakes, and the country kids

"Acknowledge the magnitude of what we are dealing with here - this very band is the best this town has seen in years. A four piece with on foot entrenched in the past (Wire, XTC, Talking Heads, The Ex and all the good stuff) and another in some ethereal neverland, they rip through an incendiary set leaving all posers in their wake. There is a passion and integrity here that can never be learned, but only earned, and I only hope that more bands remember what the whole point of this thing was in the first place. Don't trust my judgement alone, check them out for yourself." Rave Magazine (QLD) "Flamingo Crash are easily the most unique and drawing band from Australia that I've heard. I dig these dudes hardcore because of their primal take on whatever the heck they're doing and their willingness to break stylistic barriers." Elb.ows (LA)
