- Perth drum'n'bass trio Pendulum have gone from strength to strength on the back of some excellent 12" single releases. They return to Australia to promote their album "Hold Your Colour."
Ever since Pendulum’s formative track ‘Vault’ made it onto acetate in time for the 2003 Winter Music Conference, their music has been included in just about every A-List DJ’s set worldwide. ‘Vault’ was without a doubt the drum&bass tune of the year, every DJ played it, every DJ rewound it, every clubber danced to it, and judging by record sales it seems everyone bought it! Later in the year Pendulum went on to scoop ‘Best Single’ and ‘Best Breakthrough Producers’ at the 2003 Knowledge Magazine awards.
In 2004 the trio moved from Perth to the UK. They returned to the limelight with their debut 12” on label BreakBeat Kaos, titled 'Another Planet' – an anthem of such epic proportions, it rocketed to number one in the UK dance chart and also acheived a respectable mainstream chart position of 42, talk about taking the underground to the mainstream!
In 2005 Pendulum return to Australian for a national tour on the back of their up coming debut album 'Hold Your Colour' which is out on renown UK label Breakbeat Kaos. Featuring 13 bold and diverse tracks, the album combines the trio's groundbreaking blend of heavy electronic funk, never-before-heard innovative sounds and 'real' musical elements to produce a monster of a long player, destined to break down genres and smash up charts worldwide.
This is your chance to check out Pendulum's newest material and the sounds they're rocking to after a spell of living overseas. Don't miss it!
