For the entire month of July, Brothers Hand Mirror are bringing their notoriously wild live exploits to upstairs @ The Tote every Thursday evening.
Nothing under the moons glow will make you want to dance more than the anticipation of the duo’s forthcoming EP “Picture Tape!”
The EP has been personally selected by Paul “PBDY” Young (who works on alongside Flying Lotus on his label Brainfeeder) to hold the honor of being the first release on his up & coming record label TAR on the final thursday of the residency!
And now you’re feeling giddy & glitterish, we can assure you that supports will be fulfilled only by the gnarliest of musical creatures/friends. It goes without saying such a prolonged extravaganza would not be the same without BHM’s sibling dance troupes The Sissies & Always Crew in effect! That’s nine, count e’m NINE amazing entities pliant like a new born saplings and shimmered out like a mirror ball mid-make out with candy colored strobe light!
Brothers Hand Mirror is the team-up of Oscar Slorach-Thorn (Psuche, Oscar + Martin and solo project Oscar Key Sung) & Grant Gronewold (previously known as Cougar Flashy, Fulton Girls Club and currently making music & illustrations under the name HTMLFlowers). The Melbourne based duo have built a reputation for bombastic performances (with the help of the afore mentioned dance squads!) equally known for their poetic wordplay and their ability to invoke dance from even the most stagnant of crowd. Applying traditional hip hop philosophies with thrashing tape loop beats and fast mouth tricks.
Since the release of their first e.p. in 2010 Brothers Hand Mirror has made leaps forward in their sound; releasing several ‘name your price’ EP’s such as 2012’s Muddy Now & 2011 Our Will along with a string of other one track free to internet exhaltations. Oscar’s new breed of beatmaking rooted firmly in the practice of tape loops offers fresh colours in the refractions cast through the diamond that is Hip Hop while Grant searches for his own gentle equilibrium between his organically electric cadence and the craft of storytelling through song.
