The latest three piece to power onto the music scene is Melbourne’s Something For Kate. With the triangular dynamics in full effect, the group singer/guitarist Paul Dempsey, bassist Julian Carroll and drummer Clint Hyndman know how to burnish atmospherics into raging noise. Dempsey’s vocals on their debut EP for Murmur Records, The Answer to Both Your Questions, are anguished and evocative (I used to tie double knots, but now I can’t be fucked, he sings on Clint), which is one of the reasons they carry such a heavy rep out of their home town. And as their first round of interstate touring proved, they can back it up live. This change is a welcome one. Nicky Chelsea
