Nite Society featuring Hunting Grounds + Gung Ho

HUNTING GROUNDS, yep, they’re the same rambunctious sextet from Ballarat that were the artists formally known as 2009 Triple J Unearthed High winners HOWL. Since taking out the Triple J crown and changing their name the band has been steadily building toward one momentous event – the release of their much-anticipated debut album.

HUNTING GROUNDS are in it for the long haul. Their debut album may be be titled In Hindsight, but here is a group that is looking ahead with a firm grasp on the realities and possibilities of past and present. There is a degree of dramatic irony buried within the concise title of this very vast album.

Everything about In Hindsight is vast, the themes, the sounds, of course even the number of performers on it. HUNTING GROUNDS is by nature a very cohesive, collaborative effort. There are multiple songwriters here, heaving and swaying against each other’s ideas and concepts, inspiriting an eclectic and intelligent mix.

Three vocalists now also revolve on HUNTING GROUNDS’ stage: Lachlan Morrish, Michael Belsar and Galen Strachan. One might be forgiven for assuming that this is too much for one ambitious debut release, but it’s stitched together in a synth-heavy, hip-swaying cacophony that straddles beautiful and mesmerizing.

And you can see it all live at NITE SOCIETY, Saturday August 11!
