The Triangles

The Triangles are a five piece band from Melbourne, Australia, who started playing together in 2003. Their style is informed by many types of music including psychedelic pop, guitar based indie rock and 1970s folk. The Triangles independently released two albums of folky experimental pop in 2003 and 2004 before their first major release ‘Magic Johnson’ came out on the independent Australian label Half A Cow in 2005. ‘Magic Johnson’ featured a bunch of indie-rock singalongs, including the two singles ‘Applejack’ and ‘Let's Replace the Cityscapes’, which received radio airplay around Australia as well as being featured in MP3 form on numerous music websites around the world. The Triangles’ new album and fourth record overall ‘Seventy-Five Year Plan’ is set for release on Half A Cow in April 2007. The record will reflect the The Triangles’ previously latent interest in country-rock, while maintaining their focus on sweet melodies, unorthodox song structures and inventive arrangements. The Triangles live show is renowned for being filled with energetic stage antics and a lot of yelling, and the band is planning to tour a whole mess of cities around Oz following the release of their new record.
