U-Bahn
Bad Vibrations are delighted to welcome Aussies U-Bahn to the Shacklewell Arms for the first of two shows (second one on Feb 22nd).
U-Bahn originated in Jan 2018 from a chance meeting between bedroom recording magician Lachlan Kenny and vintage synthesiser enthusiast Zoe Monk. Bonding over a shared love of analog electronics, Teutonic experimentalism and lo-fi bubblegum aesthetics, the duo initiated Leland Buckle, Jordan Oakley and Mitch Campleman into their sect and U-Bahn debuted their futurist glam-punk aberrations to the public in May 2018.
Since then they’ve shocked and baffled audiences alongside Tropical Fuck Storm, ORB, The Babe Rainbow, Terry and starred alongside Melbourne’s favourite acts at Gizz Fest. Their music is an exploration of vice, post-digital mindscapes and dystopian sexuality, while serving as an altar piece to the dazzling weirdness of the 70’s and 80’s bizarro underground.
"I don’t know whether the winds are changing with people wanting to embrace dressing up or having an alter ego – kind of being a little bit dorky or kitsch, sort of embracing stuff that might have been a little bit lame at one point"
- Kenny from U-Bahn
"This is music by Devo fans, for Devo fans, and it’s a hell of a lot of fun."
- The Line Of Best Fit
