News: DANIMALS - Double A-Side Single Launch
Posted
on January 4 2010
Fresh off the plane from New York City after working with Mark Ronson, Santigold, Sean Lennon & more, Tooheys Extra Dry: The Lab winners and SMAC award nominated Danimals return to Sydney to launch their double A-side “Hornet’s Nest/Christmas Worms Quest for Fresh Apples” (available now from iTunes from Speak N Spell) on Friday 15th January 2010 at Spectrum.
Danimals began as a solo project for 21 year old South African-born Sydney artist Jonti Danilewitz. Within months of discovery of Jonti’s music, Danimals had muscled into an adjoining live project, transcending the original concept for the squelchy-pop bedroom recordings & modulating into a brain-exploding, psychedic live experience.
Featuring members of Sherlock’s Daughter, Mercy Arms, Phrase and I Like Cats, Danimals take a focus on undulating rhythms and the deconstruction of traditional song structures with three drummers revolving around synth & percussion stations, and an array of weird and wonderful gadgets, Danimals have landed supports for international artists Metronomy and Girl Talk as well as slots at the Big Day Out, Laneway and Peats Ridge festivals.
Joining Danimals on the night will be revolving Sydney super-group Fashion Launches/Rocket Launches, and special guests.

We did a festival in melbourne and it was a great. We got to hang out with Grinspoon and drink with those guys.
What are your tips for attending Music Festivals?Don't get drunk to quick. Pace yourself. So many people drink really quick at the start and it always ends up messy.
Favourite Music Festival? I would have to say 'Big Day Out'. To any band it is great to be able to perform there its an honor. I was happy because when we did it 'Rage Against The Machine' were also playing that year and it was just one band I had always wanted to see play.
What's your ideal music festival line-up?Blink 182, Greenday and if I gould dig Jeff Buckley up, I would have him there to.
Favourite artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival? Rage Against The Machine.
