About Me |
|
Malluka were formed in London, England yet contained a global mix of influences and cultures. Their first release was the self financed CD EP "Dancing In A Minefield" (1998 - recorded with founding member Xavier Thienpont on drums). John Ray Hutcheson, the singer, came from Newcastle in the north east of England, but shared a common vision with Carlos Rocca (bass guitars) from the south of Brazil, Toni Haimi (guitars) from Finland and new member Shawn Park (drums) from Ontario in Canada. The EP was noticed by the Radio 1 Evening Session and Malluka received their first exposure this way. They caught the attention of erstwhile NME scribe Simon Williams who released a limited edition 7" single of "Who Can See The Wind" b/w "Fake" (NING74) on the Fierce Panda label. This paved the way for a mini-album "The Deceptive Sound Of This" (NONG013) in March 2000. Featuring mixes from long time producer of The Cure, Dave Allen, the mini-album was critically acclaimed - drawing comparisons with bands such as Joy Division, The Cure and Placebo. Along the way Malluka played many well received shows in the UK, with acts as diverse as New Model Army, The Crocketts, Gary Numan, HIM & Smashmouth. Sadly the band split in 2001. Still reading? Keep your eyes on this site - there will be more music from the archives soon - Don't forget - Malluka's critically acclaimed Fierce Panda album 'The Deceptive Sound of This' is available from eMusic, iTunes, Rhapsody/Real Networks, Napster, Music Net/AOL, Music Match, Buy Music etc. SUPERNATURE video below directed by RICHARD MOSLEY (see friends) Man on the Moon recorded live in London February 2008 !
