three piece electronic outfit from Western Australia. The genesis of
Rhibosome began in 1998 when two members began playing in a street
theatre percussion group called Whak. Later that year they toured to
festivals in Canada, Singapore, Darwin and Melbourne. Dave McKinney
reminisces "We had a machine each, like a bike, sorta like a Sulo bin
filled with wheelchair batteries and a chassis bolted to the back. It
had wheels on the front and back, and you could steer the whole thing
with a joystick. It had loads of percussion instruments and foam and
stuff." Once back from overseas the duo commenced their next project,
writing a live electronic soundscape for urban circus company Bizircus.
The groups' debut release came via Perth's Offworld Sounds label, a 12"
single titled "Impulse", which attracted much praise both in Australia
and internationally.
