Evening News is the new moniker of the instrumental dance/ electronica group formerly known as Beatnik Collective.
As band members have changed so has the music and the name. Dan Rock (Beatnik Collective, Gymnastics in the Seventies, Cantrips) & Winton Findlay (Godoggo, Birdsnake) are now joined by Christy Wositzky-Jones (Skinny Wizard, Empress) and Miles Henry (Honey, Claps). In the short year the band has formed they have performed together at The National Gallery of Victoria, Wonder Mountain Festival, A sold out EP launch in Melbourne, curated a live Aphex twin tribute show as well as a high selling east coast tour in 2022.
Drawing from their experience curating dance floor musics, live and through djing, Evening News have been working to create a sound that is familiar, yet unique. The influences for their upcoming EP ‘New World’ of course incorporate the Melbourne peer influenced house and nu-jazz sounds that you know and love, whilst focusing on, and expanding the sonic landscape of the band. With strong nods to Jungle, 2 step and IDM legends Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and u-Ziq they push boundaries of what a live band can do in crossing over to the realm of the electronic. What was previously exclusive to each art form is now encased in one sound.
“New world” is the upcoming 2024 debut EP of Evening News
“The idea behind ‘New World’ is to take the electronic music that we all love as a band and incorporate those sounds and musical concepts into a live setting. We’re aiming to recreate the sounds faithfully, but doing it in this way is never going to be the same as a fully electronic album, so recording this music, live, all together in one room and using that as the jumping off point for further musical exploration yields interesting sounds that we think are pretty fresh.
Everybody brings something to the table whether it be Wintons unorthodox synth genius or Christy’s crazy keyboard chops, everything works together really cohesively to create something special. Miles especially challenges all of us to create weirder sounds or uncomfortable moments in the record or in the live set, he’s the main purveyor of the lofi sounds or the intense moments you might hear in the music. There’s definitely some residual influence from the last few years of playing in the Naarm soul/ jazz scene but this project is so fun and exciting to all of us, and we’re constantly pushing each other to make new shit, that we hope everyone else can enjoy too.” – Dan Rock
“EVENING NEWS is the truth. It’s not what we are told but how our bodies move to the groove. Jazz feels and improvised reels. Presented by professionals you can trust, the news to be delivered by the funk.” – Chris Gill, Northside Records
