Also, seems to be the time of year for listing things, so here's a list of the top 5 things we need!

1. A new mixer...or the old one fixed.
2. A couple of new mics.
3. Mic leads! or someone to fix the piles of dead ones...
4. 1 or 2 mic stands that don't need to be gaffed to the floor to stay upright.
5. A new couch! Yeah, it's done well, but needs to be put out to pasture...

Apologies for the lack of updates on here, our poor old computer is all kinds of sick...and google apparently now runs the earth.

"Blood Sweat & Beers in conjunction with Sludgefactory.com.au are proud to present...Albany New York’s After The Fall.
Established in 2003, After The Fall play melodic hardcore in the vein of Bad Religion, Paint It Black, NOFX, Propaghandi and Kill Your Idols. After criss crossing the USA many times ATF topped off 2010 with a tour of Central America with Millencolin and A Wilhelm Scream before hitting Europe and tidying the end of this year up with their inaugural Australian tour covering the East Coast of Australia.
Joining them on all dates, fresh off the boat from a Japanese tour will be Melbourne’s sweatiest dudes Anchors. These guys have already played Soundwave, Poison City Weekender, BS&B #5 and Pushover this year so it’ll be nice to have them and their fresh new vinyl ‘Bad JuJu’ in a real venue again"

Rites Wild (S.A) / Black Vanilla / Pimmon 4.11.11

2011-11-01T20:25:00.000+11:00

Friday 4th November // 7pm // $10
New Weird Australia Presents:
RITES WILD (S.A / Tape Launch) + BLACK VANILLA + PIMMON

RITES WILD
"Rites Wild is the solo project of Adelaidean S. Wilson. While her previous solo endeavors have been predominately noise and percussion-based, Rites Wild sees Wilson exploring her doom-pop sensibilities with the aid of 80's analogue keyboards, monotone vocals and semi-functioning pawn shop pedals.
"sits nicely alongside Maria Minerva, Fabulous Diamonds and Nite Jewel… Rites Wild cloaks ritualistic minimalism in foggy casio drones, stony delivery, and lush synth delays" - Altered Zones"

BLACK VANILLA
(with members of Guerre, Collarbones and Marseilles)
"Black Vanilla is the brainchild of gender-bending beatmaker Romeo aka Juliet, convicted ladykiller Extra Smooth aka The Sex and slutty ho-bag Sean Lockhart, creating the most reprehensible R'n'B boyband supergroup of the 21st century. Borrowing from only the sleaziest and most disgusting 90s R'n'B reference points Black Vanilla will get you wet in the whitest possible fashion."

PIMMON
"Over the past decade and a half, Australia’s electronic godfather Pimmon (known to friends as Paul Gough) has carved out a unique space for himself through producing a series of masterfully executed excursions into abstract electronic sound. His new release The Oansome Orbit is out this month on Room40."

SIMO SOO (Album Launch) + GENTLE HURST + SHARK BAIT + BIG DUMB KID

"Rap, noise, punk, swear words, pitched snares and vocals turned into robot circle jerks, Canada's genius music interviewer Nardwuar The Human Serviette on the outro, both members of Collarbones on separate tracks on vox and production, Big Dumb Kid rapping bout smoking weed & scabbing money from your mum, dubstep mashed into noise breakcore messiness, screaming, lo-fi psych turned into electro rap, songs about love, partying, loving, party and getting lost on your own in the streets of Oakland at 2am, musical nods to Suicide, Gucci Mane, Devo, DJ Screw and Andrew WK (most of the time on the same track).

All this and more on the new Simo Soo LP (which is titled Simo Soo LP) out October 7 on Lesstalk Records. His third release on the label, bits of which were recorded in Australia, USA and Canada. Features artwork by Sydney photographer Holly May and XBXRX drummer Kyle Mabson. Available in digital download and retro CD form."

Sydney grindy/fastcore/powerviolence, originally called Ballistic Assault Unit. Members seemed to be in lots of bands, but the only ones that come to mind are Dot Dot Dot and maybe Hypno-Toad...can you fill in the gaps?
Recorded December 2001 with Fred Rodrigues. These tracks were originally intended for a split with Brisbane's Brain Resin on Deplorable Records ages ago, then Spin Control was going to do something with it up 'til fairly recently I think...all to no avail. Finally up and available here now, 10 years and untold dead braincells later. Enjoy.

IDYLLS (Qld) + DINING IN TUSCANY + ISLANDS + EXTREME MISANTHROPY CREW

One count of guitarist, drummer, vocalist and bassist - IDYLLS. Two years of heavy experimentation and member reconfiguration lead to a lucid birth in early 2011. Three tracks of absolutely scathing temperatures, 'Amps for God/Plague Hell' is but a sliver of the desperately violent catharsis to come. Post-life. Pre-cemetery. Sun Distorted.

STOLEN YOUTH (Adelaide) + NICE GUYS + 10 PACES + FIREARMS

Adelaide Hardcore/Punk band STOLEN YOUTH will be embarking on a run of final shows around Australia before heading on a European tour for 2 months.
2011 has already been a big year for the band, with the release of the bands second album "Dark Century" and numerous tours including a national tour with Propagandhi, the year continues to get brighter and busier for the band.
Having only toured as far as New Zealand in the past, this will be the band’s first major run overseas, running from September through till November, with full run of dates being announced soon.

Year One (and a bit)

2011-07-25T17:38:00.005+10:00

So it's a been over a year, just looking at this list makes me a bit tired. We were going to mark the occasion somehow, but we kinda forgot. Better to just get on with it anyway. So this if everything that's been on since June 2010, including this weekends 2 upcoming shows, about 121 all up. If someone with an attention span could work out how many different bands have played you get a prize (or something) I keep losing count halfway through. Apologies for the recent lack of updates on here, the more we do the less we seem to be doing...plenty more coming up.
Thanks bands! Thanks volunteers! Thanks friends! Thanks everybody.xox

Friday 8th July // 8pm // $8
NOVA SCOTIA (Qld - Album Launch) / LITTLE LOVERS / BRAIN DRAIN

"Nova Scotia are a Brisbane five-piece whose glorious live shows and two sold out EPs have earned them a huge local following, festival slots and supports for the likes of Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Built to Spill and the Vivian Girls. Nova Scotia’s 90s revival sound references the slacker stylings and ragged melancholy of American greats like Pavement, Guided by Voices and Sonic Youth, but with a more euphoric and psychedelic exuberance. The band’s trademark three-guitar attack weaves around melodic basslines to create irrepressible songs that are both beautiful and fierce. Nova Scotia were born in 2006 from the heart of a Brisbane scene centered around radio station 4ZZZ, Rockinghorse Records, and essential bands like Turnpike and Seaplane. They released the “Bear Smashes Photocopier” EP in 2007. It quickly sold out, as did their follow up, 2008′s “Maritime Disasters”.

Much of Nova Scotia’s notoriety stems from their loud, joyous and unpredictable live sets. Centre stage is Scott Brique, the indie savant whose craft with hooks seems to defy reason. He is flanked by Ash Timms and Nathan Gygar (both also of Eat Laser Scumbag and Sweet Dreams). Dan Callaghan (bass) and Cam Scott (drums) make up the bounding rhythm section on which the band rides so happily. Nova Scotia’s heavily anticipated debut record will be launched on February 26. Mixed by Andrew White (restream, Mr. Maps), the ten-track self-titled album is beautifully presented in a stricty limited vinyl run, and also available digitally. The record features tracks “Don’t Forget Your Lunchbox”, “Second Sun” and “Round the Twist” as well as epic traditional set closer “The World is Not Enough”. It’s a superb collection of noisy guitar pop that should see Nova Scotia treasured by an even wider audience."

Lowtide (Vic) / Skull Squadron / Oberon 30.04.11

2011-04-21T12:55:00.005+10:00

Sat 30th Apr // 7pm // $6
LOWTIDE (Vic) / SKULL SQUADRON / OBERON

"Superficially, it would seem relatively easy to define Lowtide's music. Their reverb drenched, richly layered and heavily textured sound brings to mind bands such as The Cure, Ride, My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive. However, to categorise their sound as simply "shoegaze" is to miss the point entirely.

Lowtide produce music which both reflects and refracts reality. Extremely visual in nature,
their music exists in a kind of emotional pre-dawn. Its half-lit sound speaks of both isolation and inclusion and manages the rare feat of sounding paradoxically distant and cool while still retaining a beautiful intimacy and warmth.

To celebrate the release of their new 7” record, Lowtide will travelling up the East Coast
playing special launch shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Make sure you don’t miss out, as these will be Lowtide’s last shows for 2011 before they head into live hiatus while they concentrate on writing their debut album, due out in 2012."

We will get some of the Lowtide 7" soon, otherwise you can get it now from Departed Sounds

either fortunately or unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's not this Oberon:
"Oberon was a 5-member heavy metal band from the late 1970s. The group later formed Venom, the first band associated with the Black metal genre."

"Featuring former/current members of The Up Syndrome, Southernhay Orphans, The Sailors and The Ooga Boogas (and Brainwaves!), these four middle-aged punks hole up in their Coburg headquarters in Melbourne and spew out demented and rough takes on early US hardcore and punk that lends an ear to The Adolescents, Black Flag and The Stooges.
