Pendulum

GlobalGathering proudly present one of the most innovative acts on today's scene to headline their electronic music festival for 2009.
Formed in their home town of Perth in 2002, Pendulum initially took the Drum & Bass scene by storm with such hits as Tarantula and Blood Sugar becoming instant crowd favourites up and down the country. Their roots are spread across many genres from D&B, Breakbeat and Hardcore to Metal and Punk, creating one of the most unique acts in recent memory.
Their debut artist album 'Hold Your Colour' included remixes for all conquering rave legends, The Prodigy and sold over 100,000 units whilst being playlisted and regularly featured on BBC Radio 1. During this time Pendulum were touring the world as DJs but made the decision to take things to the next level by performing live. Pendulum retreated back underground and into the studio to concoct new music, new material and most importantly a whole new outlook for the band. They see their music as an escape, taking influences from bands including Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Queens Of The Stone Age and more.

Fed up of hearing others try (and fail) to bridge the gap between Electronic and Indie/Rock, Pendulum took it upon themselves to create the music they so badly wanted to hear. In their own words: "If you turn on the radio today you'll hear 20 tracks in a row describing someone's every-day life, or songs with a one line catchphrase chorus about shaking your ass in a club - the production is usually great but when you look deeper, there's nothing behind it......it doesn't offer you anything past its face value"
It is this mindset that has launched Pendulum onto a whole new platform now with sellout live performances nationwide including a huge appearance at the recent Radio One's Big Weekend in 2008. Whilst this talented quartet continue to produce new music, one thing is for sure, boundaries are going to be broken, expect the unexpected.
