Unashamedly taking bits and bobs from 80’s post punk, funk and synth pop, 90’s grunge, French house, film scores, 70’s Krautrock and the latest collection of innovative artists like Tom Vek and M83, Van She is that unique beast that one was beginning to believe no longer existed – a band that takes all these influences from days gone but makes them sound unique, modern, and…. fresh. A lazy pastiche this isn’t.
Van She formed when Nick Routledge [vocals, guitar], Matt Van Schie [bass], Michael Di Francesco [synths] and Tomek Archer [drums] all responded to an ad in Sydney’s Drum Media and arrived at an audition for a vocalist for a doom metal band with influences including Sepultura, Entombed, Black Skull and Phil Collins to find the whole thing was a sham. You could call it the result of Satan at work, or you could call it fate.
Since the chance meeting Van She have been playing out and about around Sydney, headlining their own shows and supporting the likes of The Presets and Wolf & Cub.
They’ve also been in the studio, the fruits of which we now see in the shape of a 6 track, self titled EP. Opener Mission acts as a gloomy but punchy entry point into the Van She world, while Kelly is like the epic, lovelorn cousin to The Presets’ Girl And The Sea. Sex City throbs and blips like a restless adolescent, and Survive is the greatest post post punk tune to make use of slap bass. Kelly Reprise blisses out for just a few seconds before Here With You brings us to a beautifully textured, melancholic close.

In the dark lights, We come out and play
We are its children, And we're here to stay
Running through the streets, Hungry for strays
No invitation, To take me away
I'm not cruel, But that's still what you see
Club to club, Come see this city with me
Hungry for life, Without your pity
I don't want it, But it comes anyway
You go sexual city
You till can't say she won't start up a fight
You go the city
'Cause in the city of life she can't, she can't wait
In the darkness, A killer awaits
To kill a life, And the lies you make
You do another, So this death can live
Just keep on dancing, To the movie you're in
The smell of your sweat, Just lures me in
Your heartbeat, Does sing to me
Your running feet, Beats my blood
My ghost inside you, Soon will be
You go sexual city
You till can't say she won't start up a fight
You go the city
'Cause in the city of life she can't, she can't wait
Now it's over, You've taken your life
The dark grows thin, And I'm left to hide
I don't regret it, But it's sad anyway
Now were both dead, And scared of the black
This life of games, And diligent trust
It's the things we do, Or the things we must
I'm now tired of being cussed
So go sleep forever end to dust
You go sexual city
You till can't say she won't start up a fight
You go the city
'Cause in the city of life she can't, she can't wait

So strange to hear this after listening to Vanished so much. Both amazing songs.

Entirely different vibe from Vanished but just as cool a tune.

VS & CC cover not on Spotify in US. Probably royalty dispute over the cover/sampling I would imagine. Very unfortunate. There’s actually a lot of music not on Spotify.
Gilbert Garza
@tripledp :( sad story can confirm I’m not allowed to listen to it on spotify
