About Me

it

The Section : sound like high-energy caotic rock n soul on the verge of collapse, performing in a futuristic Japanese airport lounge...we like to keep things raw and alive, unbalanced and slightly unhinged...the formulas are there to be fucked with! We formed around 2005 and have played many shows in Sydney. The Section have independently recorded and distributed a few no-fi EPs and one of our songs is featured in some obscure surf movie. After playing around for a bit as a 3 piece we added electric harpsichord and horns. . .Our current line-up is: vocals/guitar, electric harpsichord, drums, alto sax. . . We dig musicians, artists, noisemakers and crazy people who are independent, original, open-minded and crazy. . . The Section's gigs are inspired by a love of primal rave-ups - every gig is different! (to say the least. . . ). . .it's the out sound from way in. . . can you dig it!?!? | View Slideshow
