ETERNAL SOUNDCHECK: THE FIRST YEAR (2010)



My humble little film about Australian music, 'Eternal Soundcheck: The First Year' can now be watched in full on Youtube. It was originally shown in Brisbane in September last year, followed by Melbourne and Sydney screenings in January, and in New Zealand at Camp A Low Hum in February. Now you can watch it on your laptop while drunk in bed. I've divided it up into 7 parts. Enjoy.

THE CLEAN / DEADNOTES / BLANK REALM AT THE ZOO 10-03-11



It's been something like 22 years since The Clean last played in Australia. (Yet the plane trip over from New Zealand only takes 4 hours, what the hell?!). Anyway I was damn excited, and damn exciting it was.




Epic as always, here's a bangin' new tune from Blank Realm.


DEADNOTES WITH EVERETT TRUE





The Deadnotes were really tight and as Everett True stated during their set, "I'm just glad to here". Definitely one of the best times I've seen them.


THE CLEAN





The Clean. Enough said.
