DENZAL PARK @ Academy
DJ's..Producer's..Filter Freak ... DENZAL PARK! Proving why they are one of the most exciting and versatile duo's in dance music today, DENZAL PARK kick of 2010 with a breakneck-funk bang inspired by the get-down-on-the-dancefloor tunes of the early 80's. Looking at their list of achievements, it's hard to believe that Kam DENny and Paul ZALa have only worked together for just over a year! The Australian duo met in a club, Kam approached by Paul with a CD of demos he'd been working on. Impressed, to say the least, Kam envisioned the idea of joining up in the studio: thus Denzal Park came to life! Their combined influences range broadly from early electronic pioneers such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and Jean Michelle Jarre through to rock icons like The Beatles, Radiohead and David Bowie. Accordingly, the outfit has developed a sound tinged with a strong house feel and driven by a keen sense for melodic qualities. Support acts to be confirmed. Begins at 9.00pm.

Event Re-cap
Atlantis Awaits @ Holy Grail
by Steph Dagmar
Ears were buzzing as the heavy sound of Atlantis Awaits reverberated from the walls of a sweaty Holy Grail. The local alternative rock band are quickly garnering a strong following and their debut E.P launch show proved this. Before the headliners rocked out, it was first the turn of another two rising bands; Hands like Houses and Retraspec. During their sets the crowd were receptive and showed their appreciation for bands, all of which are strengthening the ever-growing Canberra rock music scene.
