Visionary
Brisbane-based performer Trash McSweeney sees colour in his music. Ever
since suffering a near-fatal seizure eight years ago, Trash set out to
share with the world a lifetime's worth of ideas about what he has seen
and felt. By taking to his guitar, piano, and notebook, The Red
Paintings were officially born upon the dawn of the new millennium.
Based
in Australia, though having been fortunate enough to already tour much
of the globe, The Red Paintings are a five-piece group incorporating
additional choral, orchestral, and performance art features wherever
possible. Their shows amalgamate sonics and optics to create a living,
breathing canvas that stimulates the senses and minds of listeners and
viewers alike. Once jacked into your stereo and brain, The Red
Paintings' sounds evoke everything from child-like lullabies of the
future, to tearing, biting, alternative rock numbers. They are
sometimes compared to multi-faceted acts like Radiohead, Muse, and The
Arcade Fire, and their appeal reaches baroque-pop steam-punks,
metalheads, indie-rock fanatics and beyond.
Currently recording their full-length debut album, The Revolution Is Never Coming,
Trash & Co. are drawing on years of cumulative experience and every
inch of available resources to create a record of epic proportions.
Sharing hopes and desires shaped from a passionate world view, The Revolution Is Never Coming
is what Trash hopes will be the tipping point for the band's career.
With their diverse history and cult following, the band is stepping
into the new year kitted with an arsenal of music, exciting live
performances, and diehard fans (who Trash says are "the best on the
planet"). It truly looks as though the future is now for the band.
Returning
to the USA for a string of dates this April and May, equipped with
their full-length debut, the band is poised to strike in 2008. Like no
other act, The Red Paintings are journeying into the new year with
vibrant and visionary performances that are sure to impact tour
destinations new and familiar alike. Not only is this opportunity to
reacquaint themselves with the world outside of Australia extremely
advantageous to the band's career, but perhaps they will be able to
prove even themselves wrong and show the world that, in fact, the
revolution is coming. It is here and now, and The Red Paintings are at
the front of it.
