When Adrian Cartwright and Rupert Keiller played their last Big Day Out show in Perth in 2006 they thought that show would be the last for sonicanimation. So it was astonishing even to them when the itch to create new music never subsided and the desire to play live again intensified. This year that urge was forceful and they decided to team up again to produce their new album (out February 2013).
Back in 1999 sonicanimation's single Love Lies Bleeding launched them into the eyes and ears of an unsuspecting Australian audience and their follow up single Theophilus Thistler choked the national airwaves soon after. The tongue twister's success was fuelled in part by the gigantic furry ‘Technotubbie’ creatures, named Robert Rollie and Theophilus Thistler that originally featured in the video. During sonicanimation's eleven-year stint from 1994 to 2006 the band won awards for BEST LIVE ACT and BEST VIDEO at Australia’s DANCE MUSIC AWARDS, as well as being nominated for two ARIA’s. They released five albums including the gold selling Orchid for the Afterworld as well as numerous EPs and 12-inch singles. They also produced remixes for KYLIE MINOGUE, ICEHOUSE and SKYHOOKS.
With a recent hit HOMEBAKE performance in December, sonicanimation will be sticking around this Summer to play a few select shows across the country.
