If you’ve been paying attention to the NYC music scene (and you should be) you know that Brooklyn-based Australian transplants WAZU have been generating heaps of buzz as of late. And if you’ve heard their new single “Murder 1,”
you understand why. It’s synth-heavy, post-apocalyptic pop that tips
its hat to dark wave gothic gloom while shimmering with a healthy dose
of neon (Ziggy) stardust.
In 2011, WAZU released a series of
self-produced singles, three of which were re-recorded, re-mixed, and
re-mastered with legendary producer Kevin McMahon (Titus Andronicus,
Real Estate, Swans, The Walkmen) and re-released as the WAZU EP on
01/10/12 to critical acclaim. After a killer EP release show at Cameo
Gallery in Brooklyn, the Australian-American transplants are scheduled
to perform at two Manhattan hotspots, Pianos and Bowery Electric.
If you
enjoy Talking Heads, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Lady Gaga, or Muse,
don’t miss the chance to see WAZU, who are currently in the running for
the Deli Magazine’s Best of Electronic NYC 2011. WAZU’s debut album,
also produced by Kevin McMahon, will be released on 05/29/12.
