Limited edition blue colour vinyl. Black wax also available. A new Melbourne-based group featuring four musicians that have all spent decades in the rock n roll game and continue to leave indelible marks across the underground music landscape. An unlikely band name and a most unlikely band. With a line up as unexpected as a ball of lightning, the band sees a cross-generational bunch of Melbourne music perennials - Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque, Bleak Squad), Joel Silbersher (GOD, Hoss) and Claire Birchall (Smoked Salmon, Paper Planes) - joined by recent transplant Guy Maddison (Mudhoney bassist), to make a singular brand of minimalist, incandescent guitar-heavy rock music, both timeless and refreshing in the current context. The "Melbourne music perennials" thing is key here, even if Guy is a latecomer to the local scene. In a city of dedicated musicians, the Fancy Weapon people are dedicated. They're not kids, but they all still play in multiple bands. They all have always played in multiple bands. Music oozes from the pores of all four. Indeed, it pours from the ooze of Fancy Weapon.
