THE BAITONES (JPN) + FUZZSUCKER & THE CANBERRA RAIDERS + MAQUINA PELIGROSA

  • The Old Bar 74-76 Johnston Street Fitzroy, VIC, 3065 Australia (map)

Baitones are coming!  Better beware! Run screaming all the way to the show!

This awesome Voodoo rock combo have been scaring the pants off japan for almost 20 years and this is their first forray abroad.  
It’s almost impossible to describe how howlingly awesome their horrific take on rock and roll is.
Think Birthday Party, Think Gun Club, and of course Think Cramps. Baitones bring all of this on board and still manage to remain uniquely creepy and glitteringly sexy as well. 

If Las Vegas was an outfit, these guys would be wearing it. Holographic gold lame, leopard skin, fishnets, abundant bare flesh trimmed with bones and fur adorn Baitones,  like some mutant Mae West from the year 3000. Baitones create a fashion all of their own, part burlesque cutie, part jungle beast and part sci fi villain.

The music will haunt your dreams for ever delinquent fuzz pedal excess and feedback drenched melodies backed by slinky running bass lines and thunderous thumping drums. No finesse here, just pure brute force from one of the cutest drummers you’ll ever cast eyes on.

Dribble with lust and scream in terror here come the Baitones and their stage show of doom!
