After gaining a solid reputation as one of the best emerging live acts in Meeanjin/Brisbane, Left Cassette has just dropped their fantastic debut single “Two Left Shoes.” It’s got all the youthful energy of a track from The Wombats or The Kooks in their heyday, and I’m here for it.
The band said “The track came together after many years of trial and error. Having had the track written in late 2021, Josh (Aldred, lead vocalist) workshopped the song to his then-punk rock band. When Left Cassette was formed in early 2024, the song was re-workshopped and we put our own spin on it. The song was originally written about being in a relationship that was always having its ups and downs. Not knowing whether you were in it for the long haul, or on your way out the door. The relationship got to a point where neither party knew who was at fault anymore. Both just entertaining the idea that things may not be perfect, but you’re too hung up on the other person to do anything about it. Just desperately holding on for the ride.”
Left Cassette will play in the second semi-finals of the Access All Areas Battle of the Bands comp at The Brithside tonight and a free gig at Greaser tomorrow night before they officially launch “Two Left Shoes” at Tomcat on August 24. They sold out a show at Tomcat earlier this year, so don’t expect to just get them on the door! Hopefully it won’t be too long before we see them gigging around the rest of the country. We can’t let the people of Brisvegas have all the fun!
