Fuse Festival 2012 will once again be closing with the main showcase on Friday 24th Feburary. This year’s event is proudly being sponsored by APRA and will be coinciding with the opening of The Adelaide Fringe Festival. APRA Presents: Fuse@Fringe plays host to a hand picked line up of export ready Australian acts, this year including Mission In Motion, Glass Towers, Sincerely Grizzly, Es Ist Super, The Shaolin Afronauts, Marcus Corowa & Goldbloom.
Adding to the already impressive line up the Triple J Unearthed team announced this years Unearthed Fuse Winners – Victorian two piece fuzz garage band Them Swoops. Hailing from Melbourne they will get a chance to showcase their blissfully dreamy pop songs. Them Swoops started out in 2011 as a three piece but drummer Adam had long standing arrangements to leave the country indefinitely, so they are now functioning as a two piece, enlisting some amazing friends to help flesh out the live shows. Working with local producers recording and mixing in underground backyard and warehouse studios, Them Swoops new EP is due for release mid 2012.
