Australian indie rockers Children Collide in LA May 24

Melbourne, Australia’s indie rockers CHILDREN COLLIDE will be making two special appearances in the U.S. this month in support of their Glass Mountain Lairs EP (released on Flying Nun/Warner Music in Australia and New Zealand).

The alternately melodic, acerbic, clanging and ominous group--Johnny Mackay (vocals/guitar), Heath Crawley (bass) and Ryan Caesar (drums)--will treat audiences to a sneak peak of their music when they perform in New York and Los Angeles this month. CHILDREN COLLIDE will play Piano’s in New York on Wednesday, May 23 (9pm) alongside Thank You Good Night, Voluntary Mother Earth, Emperor City, Motorcade, Sunny Winter and Sam Baer. Then they’ll head to Los Angeles for a show at HellYa! night at The Echo on Thursday, May 24 (10pm).

In other news, CHILDREN COLLIDE was invited to play two gigs at the illustrious The Great Escape Festival & Convention in Brighton, UK on May 18 and 19. The Great Escape is by day, a series of insightful interviews with leading figures from the music industry; by night, a festival of the very best new artists from across the globe. The band was also recently nominated in the Best Live Newcomer category for Australia’s upcoming Jack Live Awards (held May 15).

Here’s a sample of what the critics are saying about CHILDREN COLLIDE:
