VOGS + PET THERAPY + JIMMY HARWOOD

No hot singles in your area? AI girlfriends leaving you feeling unsatisfied? Australia’s newrestrictions on free adult content leaving you feeling at once frustrated and relieved? The LateBloom launch is like ‘Alcoholics Anonymous’ for all these issues; but rather than 12 steps, it’s 2ripping support acts, 1 new single and a whole lot of balloons. Expect heart-wrenching acousticballads, blistering indie/atl-rock and toe-tapping diddies.

Meet the Artists

VOGS, Vinny Owen Grantham-Smith, spends his time obsessively making music in a dustygarage in the inner eastern burbs of Melbourne. As grim as that sounds, the music that hasemerged is a reminder that, like mushrooms, good tunes don’t need sunlight to grow. Soundslike: Vampire Weekend, Matt Corby and Half Moon Run.

Jimmy Harwood, proof that guy’s wearing tracksuits are incredibly deep, talented andopenhearted. Jimmy’s the equivalent of an ‘Ace up the Sleeve’ on any lineup. Passionatesongwriting, soul-bearing delivery and a really small guitar.

What can be said of Pet Therapy that hasn’t already been said of salted ice cream? A geniuscombination of flavours; innovative, exciting and new; yet grounded in familiar tradition. If theytruly offered psychoanalysis for animals, I would have my Jack Russell ‘Ziggy’ admitted for 6+4subsidised sessions in hopes that a little bit of their magic rubbed off on him.
