Circus Olympia

Circus Olympia was in Castlemaine the other weekend

International Noise Conference - Melbourne

The International Noise Conference came to Melbourne on the 21st May at KIPL in North Melbourne. No laptops, no droning, no money, and 15 minute sets made this a very interesting day. 30 acts, with no breaks in between, this event was great. Congrats to the Sabbatical mob for running it so well.

Sadly my camera broke down on the day, but I did get to capture some of the highlights. Dead Boomers (above and below) were a powerhouse!

Furchick's set was tops

Sean Baxter showed us how to get a drum to play it's own tune
Rod Cooper played another of his homemade instruments...

Oranj Punjabi (no she's not chroming, she's bringing the noise)


Incompetent Cervix were also awesome

Harmony

Harmony (featuring members of The Nation Blue, Remake Remodel, McLusky, Ukeladies) has been playing round the traps, impressing ears, over the past year or so. They have an album due real soon! yay!

Wolfy & The Bat Cubs

Wolfy & The Bat Cubs are on the prowl... straight out of Central Victoria, they'll be rocking your world soon.

Ouch My Face

Ouch My Face have a new 7" single coming out really soon, featuring the tracks Build a House and Eyeball to Eyeball... Exciting!

Cuba Is Japan - 7" Launch

Last Friday Cuba Is Japan launched their new 7". Amazingly put together, the 7" is housed in a cute little knitted jacket, with a lovely screen printed artwork. Cuba's new album is inspired by the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1522 by Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan... and will be released sometime soon.
