The Maladies - With You Right By My Side, Baby the Deal Just Can't Go Down

The Maladies debut outing is by turns brutal, confusing & brilliant. Marando opens the record with the declaration that he’s “gonna put my brothers on the lease, when I paint my masterpiece”. It just might be time to give them a call.

"It was impressive to see a band with one album under their belt play a full set with no hint of filler. The show was swept along by the fantastic playing and the exultant emotion in the songs, courtesy of Marando’s exceptional voice. The Maladies showed they are yet another chapter in the history of a particular brand of Australian music that has spawned Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, The Saints, Beasts of Bourbon and The Scientists."

- Faster Louder

Next up The Maladies produce a fine performance, showcasing their weird and wonderful amalgamation of sounds. The Sydney quartet had an odd, unique style incorporating easy-going rock drowned in a kind of dark, twisted blues. Deliberate discords muddled and diversified otherwise simplistic arrangements, with masterful distorted guitar work by Daniel Babekuhl. Upon this backdrop, singer Dan Marando wailed and hollered through the set, adding to the strangely accessible cacophony. ‘This Wood & This Wire’ epitomised the band’s sound (or should that be noise?), a trippy, crashing folk-metal hybrid for the 21st century, while ‘I Feel So Fine’ sounded like some sort of acid-fuelled White Stripes ensemble from the 70s, Marando’s flitting falsetto growing into a raucous psychedelic yodel.
