Bio
Harrison Read, probably best known as frontman and songwriter for Mandurah-born rockers, The
Cabarets, has embarked on his own experimental project, Casinodreams. Where the much-loved
Cabarets exist in the heart of Perths pubs, with their pop-leaning indie rock jams, Casinodreams sits
a much more lush and electronic bent.
Rising out of a simple bedroom recording project, it exhibits all of the influences that originally
sparked The Cabarets 60s mod beats, Arctic Monkeys, et al. but with a deep infusion of get-up-
and-dance fun. Miles Away is the first track form Read under his solo moniker, and its already
impressed many with its skill and effortless charm.
Read will continue building on the sound of Casinodreams with a new single, Throw, coming your
way on 29 Dec. Throw is just as upbeat and naturally cool as its predecessor, but it ups the indie
dance stakes enough to make you jump around. Sinister, echoey vocals ride over deep bass and
tight rhythm, building to a keen edge on the traditional rock fare.
The track will continue to flesh out the garage rock-meets-electronic beats tangent of the
Casinodreams sound, and will set up what is sure to be a stellar 2014 for the young musician, with a
whole bunch of shows lined up for the new year. A video clip, aimed for release in mid-January
2014, will also accompany Throw.
