Vivid LIVE Presents The Preatures at the Sydney Opera House

By Benjamen Judd

If you’ve not got your tickets already, Sydney-based rock group The Preatures are going to tear the Sydney Opera House a new ear drum on Wednesday, May 27 as part of  Vivid LIVE and there are still some (limited) seats available.

Since forming back in 2010, The Preatures have become a gig-goers favourite on the Sydney music scene but it was with the success of their breakthrough single ‘Is This How You Feel?’ that catapulted the Sydney five-piece to instant fame and #9 in Triple J’s Hottest 100. Which is understandable, given that they sound like Australia’s answer to iconic pop punk band Blondie…big call but hey, one that’s well deserved.

It should have been no surprise then, when their 2014 debut album Blue Planet Eyes was an immediate chart hit. From the sultry swagger of ‘Whatever You Want’ to the juicy licks of ‘Ordinary’, through to the hedonism of ‘Rock And Roll Rave’, it’s an exhilarating combination of Rock & Soul, with a brash, joyous pop heart.

Seriously though, Vivid Live is setting such a high benchmark this year 2016 is going to need some sharks with laser beams attached to their fricken heads top it.

The Preatures will perform at the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday May 27 as part of Vivid LIVE.
