Seoul, South Korea-based rock band Biuret will visit Australia for the first time to play the One Movement Showcase Music Festival. Biuret formed in 2002, released their first EP in 2005 and later opened for British rock group Oasis. The trio - Moon Hye Won, Ahn Jae Hyun and Lee Gyo Won - are also the winners of Sutasi, the talent quest searching for the hottest Asian contemporary musicians. Throughout 2010, they plan to spend time in Australia and the US working on their debut album.

What’s your favourite song this week?

We’ve been listening to Paramore to play as a cover at the One Movement Festival. We found the song Decode to be interesting. [embedded below]

What do you hope to gain from the One Movement Festival and Conference?

Just having a chance to perform at the festival is a huge gain for us. After winning Sutasi, we would like to experience how audiences from different countries would respond to our music. This is a great start!

Which artists’ showcase sets are you most looking forward to watching?

We’re looking forward to watching all artists perform. We are not too familiar with all of them, but would be very inspirational to experience everything different.

One Movement’s tagline is “Artist, Industry, Fan United”. What do you think needs to change in order to unite the music industry with its artists and fans?

Because we lack experience overseas, we can only speak for the music industry in Korea. Here, the music industry is very skewed to dance and pop, and everything has become very visual oriented. TV and radio still plays a big part in promotion, and it makes it hard for rock to flourish. Internet is still too scattered, and it would be nice to have a platform to streamline audience to experience different type of music.

Biuret play the Snowball Stage at One Movement on Sunday 18 October 2009 at 4.45pm. View the full line-up and playing times here. Their winning Sutasi performance is embedded below.
