with special guests KIRKIS, Dorkus Malorkus & DJ Pocock

"Perhaps the only band in the history of music who could be described as both RnB AND RnB. You know how someone says "RnB" about Beyonce or Aaliyah or whatever and someone else says"that's not RnB... RnB is Ray Charles"? Well The Harpoons somehow manage to be both." -Aunty Meredith

Melbourne's much loved four-piece The Harpoons celebrate the launch of their debut album 'Falling For You' at Howler on Saturday 18th October. Theirs is a respectful approach that acknowledges a rich history of soul and RnB, but resides in the hybrid musical landscape of today. The 'genre-bending melodies' and 'old-school soul vocals' channel the best of RnB, Soul and Pop music and bring their own unforgettable charm.

Brothers Henry and Jack Madin write undeniable boppers and ballas that burst with harmony and a shared knowledge only siblings seem capable of. Torch singer Bec Rigby's arresting "vocal variations harmonise seamlessly" and melt hearts whiel Marting King (Oscar and Martin, Fitness by Martin King) ties everythgin together with his steexy beats and sultry voals. Its the harmonies and undeniable melodies that envelop you when The Harpoons are on stage, one that house bespoken marimbas and pent atones, deftly handled guitars, and an analogue and digital drums like two hearts beating.

Adding to the party are other local favourites Kirkis, Dorkus Malorkus and DJ LA Pocock.
