<a href="/tags/prince-daddy-and-the-hyena">Prince Daddy & the Hyena</a> and <a href="/tags/macseal">Macseal</a> make their Australian debut with a co-headline Melbourne performance tonight. Both New York acts sit somewhere between indie rock, emo, punk and the increasingly broad category of songs designed to be shouted by people who know every strangely specific lyric.
Prince Daddy arrive behind fourth album ‘Hotwire Trip Switch’, which refines their songwriting without removing the raw edges that built their following. Macseal bring their own mix of melodic guitar detail and emotional urgency, making the pairing feel less like two separate sets than one long evening of energetic self-examination.
Australian support adds local flavour to the tour’s opening night. The bands have travelled a considerable distance to play songs about confusion, friendship and growing up, proving once again that emotional problems become more prestigious after passing through international customs.
