Here it is : my old band Clones doing a version of the Flipper classic 'Ha Ha Ha'.Video was slapped together in 2 days using an old VHS camera and some energy drinks ...

I'm making a movie

I have started making a movie under the working title " Suburbanic ".
There's a Blog about it HERE.
It's being shot on Super 8.It's based around some loose concepts from Soviet Filmmaking , Situationism and other odd stuff.
And Why not ?!

Melbourne loses Iconic Hotel Venue.
The Tote Hotel has over 20 years of musical history behind it.It's part of Melbourne folklore and now it's going due to bureaucratic bullshit.Today there is a 26 band lineup in honour of the venue including the likes of The Drones,The Meanies,Dave Graney , ECSR etc...Melbournians will be fighting hard to prevent this happening to other venues caught in similar circumstances...

The Triffids - Field of Glass

This is a Live EP recorded by The BBC in 1984.The band is sounding powerful and desperate.It's the title track that's the clincher...it's EPIC in all the best ways - ravaged sounding , a band that's deeply intuitive and a stunning performance by David Mc Comb ... apparently it was never re-recorded for any album release but you'd be hard pressed to wrench another performance like this - still we'll never know now will we?

We just lost another one...you won't see the likes of him again...

''I understand that it is so much easier to write
about someone who is larger than life, and that's
exactly what we did in The Birthday Party.
It was a conscious decision to be caricatures.
The problem was some of us forgot where
the artifice stopped and we began.''

Super Black - Cut Ups 001

Pain jams underneath the staggering plant. Pain bases the considered wombat.
Pain dishes my tedious bond into a crunched abuse.
Why can't God parallel the dying chalk?
The carrier differentiates a splitting pain.
Why does Pain pulse outside God?
How will the pedantic circle shoe Pain?
The susceptible coin grades an ancient against the keyed husband.
An aunt tolerates God over a recruit. A calm volunteers with God.

A surrounded breath dreads Pain throughout the stunned brain.
Pain emerges near the reluctance.
How can God obsess Pain? Pain seconds God underneath the silent.
When will Pain rend the undocumented knife?
How will the executed female strain under God?
An insidious tutor burdens Pain across the
verdict. The minor abides after a basket! Why does Pain suffer?

Pain absents God. A prisoner doses a nick. Inside Pain discriminates the ace knight.
When will Pain pretend the substantial snail?

The devil made me do it..."

FLIPPER !!!

Flipper Live in Melbourne - HA HA HA.

That's right ...the last real threat to American Civilisation since Communism has come to the city of Melbourne , a place which currently carries the highest risk of catching the Swine flu in Australia.They're playing at 2 venues this week.
1. An expensive yuppy pub on a waterfront surrounded by over-priced housing and weekend poodle walkers.
2. A small smelly pub in Inner city Melbourne frequented by 6th generation punks and sad old two-tone revivalists.
They even have a NEW ALBUM out.
Hmmm - which one to go to?
