About Vacants from Auckland
Some many months ago three strangers came together to play music. What
came was a cacophony of noise. Fortunately their ambition far exceeded
their talent, and several hugs and a fist fight later and the resolve
of three friends had hardened. It was the feeling of a rubber band
finally released after years in suspension. The Three Vacants spent the
next year indulging together and honing down their sound. What
eventually came out was a more melodic, albeit a slightly more focused
cacophony of noise. Over many more months the three cam padres played
shows around New Zealand with bands as diverse as The Mint Chicks, Kill
surf city, die!die!die, Pluto, this night creeps, the shaky hands, so
so modern and Teenwolf . The range of bands is a testament to the broad
range of influence in their music. After a nation wide tour they
eventually joined forces with the mighty mole music, who became the
medium for the three boys music and a crutch to six tired legs. At this
point the Vacants took what is commonly known as a hiatus. Stories of
the bands sometimes chaotic, sometimes fine tuned, always unpredictable
live show slipped into a myth like status in the underground music
scene. Had they split up Had they crossed shores In reality the three
sons were nursing their aforementioned tired legs, and tending to their
newly acquired drug habits. After working on new material the three
began recording at studio 203. The proverbial fruit of their labor is
In Transit, a 38 minute statement of intent that is both eclectic and
utterly convincing.
