The debut cassette from new Adelaide group Rex Wonderful & The Silk Sheets is out today!

Featuring members of Wireheads, Nylex, Allume, Gentleworms & more. Featuring members of In a world tearing itself apart at the seams struggling to understand or attain sexual and cultural diversity in the arts (or anything else) comes Rex Wonderful and the Silk Sheets, another white male lead band to fall lightly upon the mountainous one sided depression of the scales. RWATSS was born on a scathingly cold Adelaide night, when two friends made the daring gesture of picking up a pen and a guitar in a humid fog of air conditioning and mimosas. Wireheads frontman Dom Trimboli (the Wizards) and Wireheads videographer Alex Gordon-Smith, tread the fine line of thoughtful reflection and simmering self indulgence on this pilgrimage to contentment, along with Liam Kenny (Nylex), Elena Nees (Allume) and Dana Ashford (Gentleworms). RWATSS make their debut on Tenth Court Records with their tape entitled 'Ego Death', a collection of cheap chords, therapy sessions and strong looks. Crafted at the Trimboli homestead on a makeshift rehearsal space on the back porch, between the wire table setting and the twenty thousand litre water tank. The tape was recorded by sonic wizard Tom Spall (The Highbeamers) over two days behind a pizza shop in the heart of Adelaide. A product of their environment, the RWATSS sound is an amalgamation of school yard crushes on Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, mum's love of the 80s and a sullen understanding that everything is in chaos, all informed by the music of friends and the larger Australian indie scene of the last ten years.



Whilst the majority of the band are seasoned musicians, having been members of dozens of groups collectively, this marks co-songwriter Gordon-Smith's first foray adding a cautious naivety to the sound. 'Ego Death' is a journey of reflection and redemption, attempting to understand the chaos of everything and the self on a rock moving 67 000 miles around a ball of fire.

"While the groove is the centric force behind the soon, I’m drawn to the way the guitar work jangles in and out of the track, giving a slight bit of discordant noise to the tune." - Austin Town Hall 1. Mimosas
