“Wim is getting a lot of early “Rufus Wainwright fronting Grizzly Bear” descriptions, which is a pretty fair place to start…it’s no mixing trick — in person the band murders four-part harmonies that will leave you dizzy and haunted for the whole ride home.” – Los Angeles Times “It’s strange to see a band who outwardly seem to be mismatched in the way they dress or their general appearance, but who go on to prove that they are in tune musically.” – One Thirty BPM Australia’s latest export, WIM have announced that they will be making their way to New York, playing four very special CMJ showcases followed by two headlining shows. This unique Sydney-based five-piece –which will be releasing their self-titled debut on November 15th on Modular Recordings—have also released an amazing new live video for “See You Hurry”. WIM creates beautifully dense and catchy tunes, filled with lush harmonies, reverb-drenched guitars and colossal choruses. Live, their tripartite frontline dazzles with the twin attacks of a floor tom-pounding keyboardist and bow-strumming guitarist. This is all instantly crystallized in a vocalist whose spine-tingling falsettos are as reliable as his not wearing shoes. You do not want to miss out on these swoon-worthy performances in New York!Tumblr (3.0; @wimtheband)http://www.wimtheband.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rj0yXAqX1r36vlqo1_500.jpg"/><br/> Sundance Film Festival - Jan 2012<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rj0yXAqX1r36vlqo2_500.jpg"/><br/> Sundance Film Festival - Jan 2012<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rj0yXAqX1r36vlqo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rj0yXAqX1r36vlqo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Big red tour van - NYC - Feb 2012<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rj0yXAqX1r36vlqo5_500.jpg"/><br/> Obelisk - Washington - Other Lives Tour<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rj0yXAqX1r36vlqo6_500.jpg"/><br/> Spring Sprung - Writing in Byrdstown TN<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rj0yXAqX1r36vlqo7_500.jpg"/><br/> Pre Show at SxSW - March 2012<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rj0yXAqX1r36vlqo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Retrospective of the last two months…Thanks for the patience</p>http://www.wimtheband.com/post/20238233502http://www.wimtheband.com/post/20238233502Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:50:00 -0400And so and so… We found our tired selves in a café down from the last show at Chappel Hill, North...http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19580927340http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19580927340Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:47:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vylbWmB91r36vlqo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vylbWmB91r36vlqo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vylbWmB91r36vlqo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vylbWmB91r36vlqo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vylbWmB91r36vlqo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vylbWmB91r36vlqo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vylbWmB91r36vlqo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>WIM @ Bowery Ballroom.</p> <p>Thanks Brooklyn Vegan for the photos! </p> <p><a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/02/other_lives_pla.html" target="_blank">http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/02/other_lives_pla.html</a></p>http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19296309002http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19296309002Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:43:00 -0400wimotherlivesother livesbowery ballroomWIM NYWIM tUSnyModular Records post - SXSW showtimes for WIM: Wed March 14th - New Granada Party @ Dominican Joe...http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19296011985http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19296011985Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:36:00 -0400modularwimsxswtourususaamerica<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vxxnwiRh1r36vlqo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span><span>WIM play’s Aussie BBQ as their </span><span>official</span><span> showcase at SXSW Sat March 17th - Aussie BBQ @ Maggie Mae’s, 10pm</span></span></p>http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19295761501http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19295761501Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:29:00 -0400australiasxswsxSounds AustraliaWIMUSUS tourAmericatour<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0vxrhoaGO1r36vlqo1_400.gif"/><br/><br/><p>Saturday @ SXSW - WIM plays Filter Magazine Culture Collide</p>http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19295624387http://www.wimtheband.com/post/19295624387Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:26:00 -0400filtersxswwimusUS tourtourSXmagazine<a href="http://filtermagazine.com/index.php/news/entry/sxsw_buzz-o-meter_of_monsters_men_painted_palms_wim">Filter Magazine names WIM one of the top buzz bands for South by South West</a>http://www.wimtheband.com/post/16101415736http://www.wimtheband.com/post/16101415736Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:30:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvlt3pxxbh1r36vlqo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Vote for WIM for the SMAC awards</p>http://www.wimtheband.com/post/13657069260http://www.wimtheband.com/post/13657069260Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:21:00 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0rRRtRSx0mQ?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>We performed see you hurry acoustically for the L magazine team at their DUMBO <span class="spell"></span><span class="spell">headquarters</span></p>http://www.wimtheband.com/post/13427132940http://www.wimtheband.com/post/13427132940Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:19:00 -0500Tonight!
