About Me


DRUM MEDIA REVIEW:
ONE FLEW EAST @ SOSUEME (HEADLINE SHOW)
FRI MAY 1, 2009
Up next was One Flew East, a Sydney quartet with a thing for melody. The boys kicked off with some uplifting rock, big on keys and power-vocals as they charged into an energetic set. Lead singer Richard Lucano craned himself over his keyboard, throwing anthemic vocals to his audience while his band pumped out some old school stadium chords. The sum of their parts was a weighty mix: long, heavy bass lines on neverending riffs and uplifting piano melodies on charged-up drums. Lucano sang like his life depended on it, as did the rest of theband, and there was no denying their energy or emotional investment in this project.
With many songs building on a basic pop foundation , the band graduated to the heights of power pop choruses with frenetic piano runs and relentless drumming that pushed and pushed before caving into the verses. Structurally, their music is thoughtful and consistent without treading the same ground twice. Admittedly, their get up is something of a conundrum on the Sydney scene. While the vast majority of bands favour electro pop and synthed up rock, One Flew East do rock that's reminiscent of Incubus. As a point of difference, it's dependent on the fact that they do it well, but to really sink your teeth into One Flew East's tunes you need a disposition towards piano, a thing for the Chili Peppers or a soft spot for stadium rock that's hearty and heated."
