On the lead-up to the release of their debut LP, Keep Your Dreams, the Canyons boys are going to be throwing down some classic hits at an intimate warehouse party this weekend in their (adopted) hometown of Sydney.

The 'One Night Stand' secret show will be happening somewhere in Sydney's inner-west, with attendees notified via email of the exact location the day before the event. In true house party style, it's BYO and there's no cut-off time, with the night kicking off at 10pm and continuing on until people can party no more (or Canyons run out of records). It's organisers have also decided to make it a 'freaks' themed night, inviting people to dress up in costume of "whatever FREAK means to you".

The first taste of the forthcoming album is a mission statement of sorts - 'Circadia / Under A Blue Sky' unfurls itself expansively with seething synth lines, before giving in to the call of the wild and going full throttle into a haze of sandblasted saxophone, tribal drums, and jungle incantations.

Close your eyes, feel the sun on your face, dance inside and out.
