All About Midnight Juggernauts
The nitty gritty on your favourite DJs, events, clubs and more
A privileged few may have booked the first available seats on Virgin Galactic’s maiden outer-space voyage for 2009, but they needn’t have bothered come August 2007, as the Midnight Juggernauts prepare to launch their debut album ‘Dystopia’ onto an unsuspecting musical public. Interstellar space travel has never been quite so within arm’s reach, available to one and all in a single concentrated 50-minute supersonic burst.
Throughout its 13 tracks ‘Dystopia’ lays a common thread of vigilant optimism, although it’s a mood often shrouded with a dark and sinister disposition. Already the relentless stomp of techno-meets-disco singles ‘Road To Recovery’, ‘Shadows’ and ‘45 And Rising’ have scored the band airplay on Triple J and independent radio Australia wide, while further into the stratosphere they’ve found themselves pounced on by BBC1 and MTV2 UK/Europe, the latter going so far as to mark them as “artists we’re tipping for the top in 2007”.
Cinematic in its scope, ‘Dystopia’ is the sound of a band exploring time and space. It’s like watching new stars burn into existence, and then disappear in a single flash. It’s the sound of a black hole imploding under the weight of a sweat-soaked, heaving dancefloor. It’s the future, past and present, all rolled into one; but it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced before.
