The two threads that twist together to make South Australian now Melbourne based Twine are barrelling noise rock and wounded, stinging country. Their debut record New Old Horse ( Out December 6 ) is dazzling and devastating in equal measure; a tender yet eruptive exploration of wayward relationships and the aches of identity in flux. The dynamism of the album mirrors these disordered attachments and emotions - tracks of brute force quickly descend into mournful interludes from the violin, while slow tracks sprawl out and then explode into a pummel of noise and drums. Tom Katsaras’ unpolished vocals quiver and howl, giving each song a sorrowful depth.

It all started way back on a busy street corner.....late one night...She was busking, bangin' away on the guitar, when who should walk by? ..a man..with a drum..and a twinkle in his eye...They looked each other up and down..and said... ...HI!!!!... That was the beginning of The Awesome Twosome that was soon to become a threesome. They fell in love, you see..and then got it on..ect ect..fast forward a few years and we have the third member. Their son Obi. This family is what Australia is all about. Strength,originality, and great energy. This mum/dad/son trio have a talent and magnetism that draws the crowd in,as they play sometimes five instruments..at the same time! With hair flinging, feet stomping, limbs flying and faces smiling, this close knit family work together with joy, passion and uplifting energy. The crowd, no matter what the age, can feel the happy atmosphere and infectious rhythms, making their live show a must see. Winner of Australia's busking championships 2009,
