Live review in Rave Magazine, 12th April 2011

“…Brisbane locals The Videomatics are playing an early slot, but there’s something really compelling about them; they play dreamy, synth-y rock and wear their influences pretty heavily, but while you can hear bits and pieces of The Cure, My Bloody Valentine and especially M83, the young band carry themselves with confidence, and are clearly accumulating a decent collection of hooks…” – Alasdair Duncan

Triple J Unearthed is a radio platform within Australia which helps unsigned, emerging artists gain national exposure through radio airplay. Triple J senior music producer Dan Buhagiar has given The Videomatics 4/5 stars for their track “Intense Wear Lipstick”. She said, “vocally they remind me of Editors and Interpol”, and described the track as “a good solid single”.

While we are against willy-nilly, product placement and brand advertisement we would like to give a big thank-you to the people at Duesenberg Guitars in Germany. Firstly, for making such great sounding, cool and individualistic instruments and secondly for featuring us on their artist’s section and video page. (Alongside Bob Dylan, Ronnie Wood and Elvis Costello, no less.)

Channel [V] (Fox TV) music presenter and blogger, Jane Gazzo, featured the then “studio project” The Videomatics on her 2009 music blog, alongside other hotly tipped buzz bands. Here’s what she had to say:

“They say they’re from Brisbane, sometimes Glasgow. Whatever that means. Regardless, they make synth-based electro pop not unlike Ladytron or Ladyhawke. From what I can gather, they seem influenced by British music, sculpture and, erm, synthesizers.. I’m drawn to their tune Intense Wear Lipstick – perfect pop of epic poetry proportions.”

Melbourne journalist, and author of books such as “50 Years of Rock in Australia” and “Ego is Not a Dirty Word – the Skyhooks Story”, had this to say about The Videomatics track “Intense Wear Lipstick”:

“A marvellous melange of 80’s inspired pop.. one of the singles of the year.”
