Melbourne outfit Gamjee are bringing the fuzz on politically-charged second single.

It seems things have snowballed for psych-garage five-piece Gamjee since dropping their debut single ‘Monday In Bed’ in September last year. Their interpretation and melding of 60s psychedelia, thrashy punk and experimental sounds has seen them score supports with artists like Kikagaku Moyo, Peter Bibby and Stonefield, dazzling audiences around the country. Not too shabby for ‘newcomers’ to the scene.

Now they gift us ‘William H. Vanderbilt’s Vampire,’ the second taste from their forthcoming EP Crooked. It’s a chaotically blended collage of fuzzed up guitars, tempo changes and vocal harmonies that sounds something like the lovechild of King Gizzard and The Cramps, with the tongue-in-cheek lyricism of The Fall.

Singer Sam Harding says, “’William H. Vanderbilt’s Vampire’ looks at power imbalance, and the ridiculousness of the song reflects the insanity of an oligarch preying on those who have nothing material to offer.”

Gamjee, which is made up of three siblings (and a couple of adopted strays) are launching ‘William H. Vanderbilts Vampire’ this Friday at Yah Yah’s in Fitzroy (info here) and are also playing a bunch of shows around Melbourne over the next couple of months, so be sure to get yourself along to one you capitalist pig:
