ANY YOUNG MECHANIC live show at Rock en Seine
Formerly known as Wake in Fright (a name borrowed from a 1970s Ted Kotcheff film they love) Any Young Mechanic were forced to rebrand, but their mission remains unchanged: heartfelt, melodic indie folk rooted in simplicity and sincerity. At the time of writing, these Australians have barely a thousand followers on Instagram, fewer than fifty posts, and just one song on their YouTube page – but what a song ! There’s A New Place On The Market has a scrappy, irresistible charm, with a vocal delivery that etches itself into your memory from the very first listen. Fans of Wilco, Cold War Kids, Fleet Foxes and Big Thief will want to take a look at this fresh new arrival from down under.
