CHAIRLIFT (USA) and THE PHENOMENAL HANDCLAP BAND (USA)

Chairlift rose to prominence when their sweet tune Bruises was featured in an iPod Nano television commercial and began receiving airplay on triple j. Few could resist the distinctively breezy vocals of Caroline Polachek as she sang I tried to do handstands for you, I tried to do headstands for you. Everytime I fell on you, yeah, everytime I fell. Similarly, The Phenomenal Handclap Band has also been enjoying success with their dance floor filler 15 To 20 (featuring Lady Tigra) receiving plenty of radio airplay, and providing the soundtrack for a Bonds television commercial. Forming in 2007, Chairlift began their career playing shows with a thriving society of experimental pop magicians including MGMT and Yeasayer. With NME dubbing their first single Evident Utensil a charming pop oddity, it wasnt long before the band were being thrown into the spotlight on international sites such as Perez Hilton. With the release of their debut album, Does You Inspire You, Chairlifts profile is set to rise even further with their first visit to Australia. Catch them as they play two double headline shows with The Phenomenal Handclap Band.
