FLYYING COLOURS
NEW EP - ‘ROYGBIV’
11th MAY ON CLUB AC30 (UK) /12th MAY ON SHELFLIFE (US)

•	“It’s hard not to crush on the extensive, encircling sound of Flyying Colours” – NO FEAR OF POP
•	 “blistering from start to finish, Kevin Sheields’-inspired shadows linger” - CLASH

Melbourne-based shoegazers Flyying Colours return with a second EP of psychedelic pop textures tempered with sugar-rush melodies. The ‘ROYGBIV’ EP is out May 11th on Club AC30 and Shelflife.

Hailing from a country more synonymous with the beachcombers and the sunshine coast than shoegaze luminaries, Flyying Colours have nonetheless been compared to Lush and Ride, weaving smooth, tactile vocals with coarse textures with finely-crafted songwriting. 

True to their name, Flyying Colours unashamedly display their influences on ROYGBIV – tone-bending My Bloody Valentine / Swervedriver guitars, ferocious bass hooks and the familiar soft hush of early 90s dueting vocals. Added to the mix is their own edgy, refreshing pop-mindedness, buoyed by the lush vocal interplay 

On ‘Running Late’ guitars overlap, playing seemingly different melodies and rhythms, as the vocals float up from the ether of the background. Hearkening back to the 80s but also at once sounding thoroughly futuristic, there’s finely-textured guitar loops and lo-fi delay used to get effect throughout the record. ‘Not Today’ and ‘Leaks’ share the same considerable style and skill: successfully channelling not just Kevin Shield’s growling, bending, wall-of-sound guitars, but also Bilinda Butcher’s cooing, unintelligible vocals. The album opener ‘I Don’t Want To Let You Down’ sports a rolling darkwave groove that’s like Joy Division gone psychedelic. 

Formed in 2011, Flyying Colours self-titled EP received a considerable amount of attention, which was then backed up by their explosive live shows, setting them well apart from others occupying Melbourne's fledgling shoegaze scene. A follow-up, ROYGBIV is a snapshot of a band reaching for the heavens and finding themselves reflected in at all over the cosmos: a sign of greater things to come.

3RD WORLD SPECTATOR is:
Peter Crafford (Vocals, Guitar, Piano)
Justin Versfeld (Guitar)
Louis Kuhn (Bass)
André Wentzel (Drums)
Elan Schnider (Synths, Keys)

With their infectious blend of soaring, operatic vocals, haunting melodies, huge guitars 
and rolling drums, 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has treaded lasting tracks in the South 
African music scene. With the release of their debut album ‘The Theory of Everything’ in 
late 2011 - to critical acclaim from music critics and fans alike - the band eradicated all 
doubt as to their position as one of the top acts South Africa has to offer. Their first single 
‘Ambulance’ exploded onto radio and digital charts around the country whilst cracking the 
National Top 40. The video for “Ambulance’ also reached number 2 on the MK Top 10 
Music Video Chart, placing the band firmly at the forefront of the local rock scene.

Well known for their meteoric rise to first place during the Virgin Mobile Road to V 
competition late 2008, 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR have been making headlines ever since. 

Not content to be just another local act, their performances transcend the ordinary. Part 
theatre and part rock star-chic, their live music is fraught with energy that consumes the 
senses and elevates the soul. Sharing the stage with the likes of international bands such 
as Maroon5, OneRepublic and Hard-Fi confirmed their status as a highly engaging stage 
act.

The band completed work on their debut full length album entitled 'The Theory of 
Everything' in 2011 with the recording sessions taking place at Sunset Recording Studios 
with award winning producer and engineer Jürgen von Wechmar (Springbok Nude Girls, 
Foto Na Dans, Jax Panik, Karen Zoid) at the helm of the production. The album is 
mastered by John Davis (U2, Florence + The Machine, The Prodigy, Snow Patrol) at 
Metropolis Studios in London. 

In June 2011 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR signed a record deal with Universal Music and the 
album was released at the start of November 2011 to critical acclaim. 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has featured in every major publication, been named one of 
‘The Top 10 Acts To See' by Tonight, signed major endorsement deals with PF Flyers 
International and Jay Jays South Africa. 

Since the release of The Theory of Everything, 
3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has elicited extensive coverage in the press and media, has 
done countless radio interviews, performed live on national TV shows such as SABC 2’s 
Hectic Nine 9, MK’s Studio 1, ETV’s Frenzy and has toured South Africa extensively. The 
follow up singles 'Sparks' and 'The Hiroshima Lovers' also achieved great success on 
national radio stations. 

At the end of 2012 the band were chosen as one of six South African artists to participate 
in the Sanlam Sing 'It 2013 Lyric Competition and won this prestigious contest. 

Subsequently they have released their latest single 'Once More, With Feeling' to national 
radio with the accompanying music video enjoying high rotation on MTV. 

3RD WORLD SPECTATOR are exclusively sponsored by clothing brand Markham. 
They will be releasing their sophomore album 'Days Of Silver' in 2014.
