Bio
Drawing influence from artists like The Avalanches, Beach House and JDilla, Holiday Party builds songs with homemade samples, creating junkyard pop music. Their first release is contemplative dancefloor companion 'I'm Still Here'.
Holiday Party is the brainchild of Luke McDonald and Mel Tickle and now a growing collective, with Scott Bromiley joining soon after. Born from collaborating on various projects in Brisbane, the band works conceptually on the premise of a twisted end to a teenage house party. Something is not quite right at this party.

Review
This is a breath of fresh air isn't it? Bright and full of colour, the Holiday Party are living up to their moniker with ease. Love the way you flirt with sounds rather than engaging Everything All The Time.

'I'm Still Here' is a sonic wonderland, a montage made from fractions of dreams.

I keep hearing something new in here - but it never sounds too messy. We've heard Mel sing in different outfits across time, but this brings out something new for her. Those strings halfway through are very tasty.
