Biography
1) Diode formed in 2001 in Perth. The group has previously released several independent recordings including "Messages" (2001). Their album “Diode” (2007) builds on these outings adding a tighter, more developed sound. Diode has played at the Tote bar in Melbourne as part of “Octopus 7, Don’t Show Me Your Poetry” and was feature in “Old Skool” at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art. In 2008 Diode was invited to play at the Art Gallery of WA for the opening of PEEP and also played at the opening of the Linden 1968 exhibition in Melbourne in 2008.
The new recording " Meckering" (2009) shows a more mature band, at home improvising and at the same time quickly transferring to tighter pop structures. Diode play a unique brand of avant-rock, blending live instruments and electronic sounds. Their sound is a schizoid interplay between art band and pop, detachment and emotion.
