Loomset were formed in early 1999 by Steve Tough and D.T., and the early years were spent building up a reputation on Melbourne's live circuit and recording the "Elevator Music" and "Talking in Circles" CD's, which were distributed for promotional purposes. Loomset slowly worked their way up the band hierarchy, and began to become a regular feature in the cities better venues, such as The Corner, The Espy, The Punters Club and the Armadale, as well as pulling a Fauves support slot and completing two summer tours of the surf coast along the way.
Opportunity came knocking in 2001, when the owner of local studio/label "Indent Music" offered to record and put out what was to be the first official Loomset album "Disguise". Six months of toiling in the studio saw 90 hours of recording whittled down to 7 tracks, although the departure of the band's original vocalist meant the album was unfortunately shelved. The band still threatens to bring it out one day.
Enter Foxtel's very own Amy Parks on vox and a six months hiatus, working up new songs and a new direction for the band. Their comeback gig at the Corner Hotel was a huge success so look out for upcoming gigs.
The band has a pop/rock sound, with Radiohead, Weezer, Mercury Rev and Dandy Warhols cited as influences. There are plans for a single later in the year, with a trip to the Woomera rocketing testing site to film a video clip. Loomset Website:
