Iconic Melbourne band and ARIA Hall of Fame inductees, Models bring their post-punk -new wave vibes to Kindred Bandroom in Yarraville on Friday 20 February.
When they formed in the late 1970’s, Models were hailed as one of the most innovative and imaginative Australian bands and were often spoken of in the same breath as the Birthday Party, The Sports and INXS.
Four decades later, and while plenty about the band and their contemporaries has changed, their approach to making music hasn’t.
Models have always done things their own way.
As the authors of The 100 Best Australian Albums (which featured Models’ The Pleasure Of Your Company) stated “Melbourne electronic outfit Models followed a distinctly perverse and disjointed course from the outset”.
The long and winding course will see them stop by the inner west next weekend, not far from where founding bass player, Mark Ferrie, and current drummer, Ash Davies, live.
Sean Kelly and Andrew Duffield round out Models current line-up and will be joining Davies and Ferrie for the special one-off show which kicks off at 7.30pm.
Despite more than 40 years together, punters attending the show shouldn’t expect a nostalgia act.
Models have had long periods in hibernation, but have never broken up and have continued to record and release new material.
Andrew Duffield said even their earlier songs still sounded fresh.
“We don’t think of them as being old,” he said.
Models never go out of style.
