When last year’s BDO headliners Tool announced their Australian side shows, they’d already selected the band they wanted to open for them – Napier post-rock trio Jakob. At times putting the post- into rock, and at others kicking the whole bloody fence down, Jakob’s lush and textured take on the guitar/bass/drums format continues to broaden and enthrall with every performance and release. Their music has been captivating and mesmerizing people the world over since 1998, the sedate becoming devastating in the blink of a crowd’s collective eye. Bands such as Isis, Pelican and the Hidden Hand have invited them to share the stage and they’ve toured backing former Can legend Damo Suzuki. Fresh out of sessions for a new album recorded at Neil Finn’s Roundhead studio, Jakob will be blazing another sonic sunset at this year’s Big Day Out, melting a few brains along the way.
