Hailing from a little town Perth, 44th Sunset have a salmonistc determination that bounces the bounce but also licks the honey. Firing off 2012 with Southbound Festival and The Big Day Out, 44th play a soundscape of indie rock popesque tunes, with wild intense live shows causing some rather influential heads to turn across the country. 44th Sunset have drawn comparisons to Cage the Elephant, Arcade Fire, Nik Cave, Group Love, The Pixies and the Violent Femmes. A broad and worthy range of comparisons from a huge range of musical influences and a genre blasting attitude from songwriter Nik Thompson, result in outstanding tunes underwritten by a calibre of songwriting that belies his age. After spending the last few months crafting songs, 44th have finally honed it down to five killer tracks. They are heading into the renowned Poonshead studio to track and then over to Sydney to mix with JP Fung, with a release date in spring and a national tour planned for the end of this year. 44th Sunset's amazing wild live set and unique mix of tracks, they are one of the most exciting acts punching their way through the illustrious Perth music scene.
