Ahead of an August tour and with a new EP, 'Pollen', to promote, Adelaide indie pop act Neon Tetra this Friday (27 July) will take to the scenestr stage at Scouted 2018.
"Dan wrote a lot of tunes [from 'Pollen' EP] while listening to artists like Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes," the band says.
"The soul funk shines through with Josh's gospel-like vocals lending themselves passionately to the feelings of the Motown era. The use of synth and strong grooves links the band's more experimental beginnings with current pop tones of the music."
Here, the group share 5 of their favourite Adelaide haunts.
1. 55mL
Perfect for after-work knock-offs or that first date where you can relax with a board game or tuck away in a booth. Nice and cozy with some great music and good people behind the bar.2. Ancient World
Now this is a true diamond in the rough. An institution for live music and big rave parties, ‘Cients is the best dive bar on the west. Conveniently removed from the main strip, it's a great place to hang.3. Broadcasters Bar
Tuxedo Cat visionaries finally find their perfect set-up with Broadcasters, a venue where you can catch Neil Hamburger one night of the week and bands the next. It’s a perfect space for emerging acts to try out their performance skills.Click here to read our February 2018 interview with Neon Tetra.
4. Himeji Gardens
This one's for the romantics and a must for any visitor. A place of peace and tranquility where many kisses have been cherished.5. Midnight Spaghetti
You can eat spaghetti into the wee hours of the morning at a great local pub, enough said.Neon Tetra play Scouted 2018 on the scenestr stage at West Oak Hotel (Adelaide) 27 July.
