Formed in 2003, Eddy Current Suppression Ring quickly established themselves as one of Melbourne’s most exciting live acts.

Despite breaking up and getting back together several times over the journey, they remain favourites of Aussie crowds, with their back catalogue consisting of a couple of live albums and five LPs, including the just-released In Light of Recent Events.

Winners of the prestigious Australian Music Prize for their 2008 album Primary Colours, Eddy Current's recent formation hopefully means a fully fledged tour is on the cards in the near future.
