Neon Goblin

After most of a year spent as one of the city’s most talked-about live acts, Melbourne’s fuzzed-out psychedelic supergroup Neon Goblin have unveiled their ferocious debut single, ‘Midnight Sundial’.

Right from the start, Neon Goblin arrived with a bang, with numerous shows booked before they had even made their live debut. However, the trio quickly made an impact, with their inimitable live show turning heads every time they took to the stage. Eclectic onstage performances, audacious costumes, and an undeniable urge to present one of the most immersive and unforgettable experiences soon resulted in Neon Goblin becoming a must-see attraction on local stages.

Recorded live “on a shoestring budget in a hay bale and mud-wall studio hidden inside a defunct lingerie warehouse in Brunswick East, the result is a track that almost effortlessly captures their live sound, pairing vivid lyrics with crushing distorted guitars and vocals that instantly transport the listener back to the hedonistic days of classic ‘70s-era psych-rock, or evoke musical comparisons to fellow supergroups such as the great Cream.

Armed with an enduring desire to bring unforgettable live shows to the masses regularly, the group are also working on another couple of songs which will likely be released in the near future. In the meantime though, ‘Midnight Sundial’ showcases a group who are only just getting started, and invite you to formally get in on the ground floor.
