With a brand new single under their belt and a fire in the caboose, Australian band Miami Horror are going to make you shimmer and shake when they play at Zierholz on Thursday, September 18.

Originally from Miami Horror have been responsible for some our favourite electronic tracks of the past few years. Influenced by the masters of 70s and 80s synth sounds (think ELO, Prince and even a dash of Supertramp), the talented troupe of lads have been a breath of fresh air amongst a landscape that’s starting to get a tad heavy on the folksy cuteness (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

Recently settling in Los Angeles, the five-piece found inspiration in the glowing year-round Californian sun, set up a home studio, and eagerly started experimenting to release singles Real Slow and Colours in the Sky over the Summer of 2013/2014.

Wild In Motion (Set It Free) oozes the recognisably catchy and upbeat vibes which Miami Horror have taken ownership of since 2009’s debut EP ‘Bravado’ & hit single “Sometimes”. Yet with ‘Wild In Motion (Set It Free)’, the band have reached a new pinnacle of their songwriting. The track showcases the ever-growing production talent of the band and producer Benjamin Plant, the huge soothing vocal harmonies of singer Josh Moriarty and a monumental vintage-sounding riff that sets the scene for the band’s new direction.

Miami Horror will be performing at University of Canberra’s Zierzholz on Thursday, September 18.
