Worlds End Press - Live
[Melbourne Ding Dong]

Worlds End Press possess some great constituent parts in the make up of a band; a fascinating bandy-legged bass player who ceaselessly dances whilst effortlessly producing slick and laid back dub like lines. Three keyboards and two guitars produce a menagerie of beautiful, sinuous and enthralling melodies and counter melodies. Finally the band members to the right hand side of the stage seem to have all confirmed to an unofficial dress code (or subconsciously have the same dress sense) all decked out in similar red and white clothing.

There is however one major problem with Worlds End Press, and a lot of bands of their ilk. Whilst they produce some beautiful sounds, that isn’t enough, the songs need to go somewhere and frequently they don’t. You’re constantly left waiting for something to happen, and generally all that does happen is that they start and finish, there’s very little dynamics in structure in between with all songs and the set merging into one long set of sounds. Perhaps that’s the band’s intention...
