Tickets für CABLE TIES 14.04.20 in Berlin, Zukunft am Ostkreuz

able Ties are a fierce, tense rock’n’roll trio. They take the three minute punk
burner and stretch it past breaking point to deliver smouldering feminist anthems.
Post-punk and garage rock hammered together by a relentless rhythmic pulse.
Jenny McKechnie channels her struggles into songs that reso- nate deeply, giving
voice to feelings often buried in modern life. Shauna Boyle and Nick Brown are a
rhythm section anchored in Stooges primitivism - relent- lessly hammering out a
bedrock for McKechnie's guitar pyrotechnics and vocal wallop. Three friends
summoning a rhythmic tide to deliver anthems that turn latent anxieties into a
rallying cry.
The band has been committed to an inclusive feminist and political outlook since
its inception in 2015, exploring issues of gendered violence, colonialism and
sexual assault. The band members have been involved in benefit shows, organised
DIY festivals and volunteer with Girls Rock!, a not-for-profit organ- isation
that aims to empower female, trans and gender non-binary youth in music. They
released a single last year as a fundraiser for Girls Rock!
Cable Ties have been committed to their local community and independent
networks, and to playing diverse and inclusive shows. They have toured Australia
a number of times and have developed into a lean and efficient tour- ing band
who deliver powerful and meaningful shows. Whether playing in small or large
bandrooms, festivals, theatres, barns, motels or football ovals Cable Ties deliver
an impassioned wall of sound and energy.
Their debut self-titled album, released in 2017 on Poison City Records, was a
Triple J feature album and album of the week on 3RRR, with strong support
nationally from community radio. The album was distributed internationally by
independent distributors Cargo UK and Cargo Germany. They have also self
released three 7” singles which have all sold out. The debut album is on its third
vinyl pressing.
The band toured UK/Europe in 2017 supporting Jen Cloher, and played Punk'd
Festival in Berlin. They returned to the UK in May 2019 to play The Great Escape
and shows with Tropical Fuck Storm and Amyl & the Snffers. In Australia they
played Bigsound 2018 and festivals such as the national Laneway Festival tour in
2018, Boogie Festival 2018, The Plot 2017 and Meredith Music Festival in 2016.
Cable Ties have supported artists such as Joan Jett, The Kills, Camp Cope and
Cash Savage. They won Best Hard Rock Act at the 2017 National Live Music
Awards and were nominated in five categories. They won the Corner Music
Award in 2017, have been nominated for eight Age Music Victoria awards and
were longlisted for The Australian Music Prize 2017.
