Diode

The group formed in 2001 in Perth with Kevin Robertson on drums and sequencer loops and Jenny Griffiths on vocals and keyboards to develop a fragile experimental sound. Rosie Rooney joined the band on bass/vocals in 2006. The band changed shape embracing previously spurned guitar sounds.Diode play a unique brand of avant-rock, blending live instruments, home-made oscillator sounds layered with simple drumming, ethereal vocals and spoken word. Diode has released several independent recordings including "Messages" (2001) and "Chromedioxide" (2003). Their album “Diode” (2007) builds on these outings adding a tighter, more developed sound. Diode has played at the Tote bar in Melbourne as part of “Octopus 7, Don’t Show Me Your Poetry” and was feature in “Old Skool” at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art. In 2008 Diode was invited to play at the Art Gallery of WA for the opening of PEEP and also played at the opening of the Linden 1968 exhibition in Melbourne.New Release: Meckering released 1st March 2009.............
