Founded: 2004
Location: Australia
Midnight Juggernauts were an Australian band from Melbourne, composed of Andrew Szekeres, Vincent Vendetta (Vincent Heimann), and Daniel Stricker. The band has been described as anything from 'prog dance meets cosmic film scores', to 'slasher-flick disco' to 'deadpan landscape'. Following the release of numerous 7" and 12" singles, and limited edition EPs, the band released their debut album, Dystopia. After playing festivals and headlining tours worldwide during late 2007–2008, the band finished working on their follow up album The Crystal Axis, touring around its release mid-2010 at festivals and headline shows around the globe. After a few years' break, the band released a third album Uncanny Valley in mid-2013. Members have individually collaborated with various artists including Kevin Parker, Justice, Solange Knowles and Sebastian Tellier. The group also runs the label Siberia Records, through which they release their own music and others including Kirin J. Callinan and Forces.

The Presets will be joined by special guests Midnight Juggernauts (playing a DJ set), Haiku Hands, and Joey Lightbulb.
Midnight Juggernauts imagined the zeitgeist before its advent – so much so that the epiphanic 'Uncanny Valley' might be a worthy 'album of 2023' contender.
How the boys plan to bring you "A Better Forever", brighter smiles
A new single and EP, with all the sales going to charity.. Throughout ten years of music and monkey business, Midnight Juggernauts have long maintained their adventurous course through the music scene. Recently separated across different countries and different projects, they banded back together on impulse to record a series of EPs, the first called Aerials, (out now via the band's own label, Siberia Records) reflects the world from a vertical perspective above and below, explored in the music as well as accompanying video clip and live show production. They're also taking the opportunity to do something a little different with the album release structure - making Aerials available immediately, and in return for a donation to the Aboriginal Benefits Foundation specifically for Healthcare. It's a classic win-win, rad new music from Midnight Juggernauts for you, and supporting a good cause in the mean time. Check out the truly global video clip for the first single from the EP, Freefall
The Melbourne outfit want their owl back
It’s a shame it’s taken so long for the set to get going, but when it does, all the waiting seems worthwhile.
Great to see the guys back in form and so excited to be back on stage.
"It was good to get back into it because after a break like that it’s hard to tell what it feels like onstage again."
The Juggers have always sounded on the verge of making a really great record, but they still haven’t quite hit it yet.
