PSY ANTS / HEART FLEW / SCRAPS / KNEE CHIN AT LATROBE TCE. 11-09-10

This was an afternoon show at my house to celebrate Bedroom Suck Records moving in (we even have an office! legit biz yo). Anonymeye played a great early set but the 10 minutes I filmed of it ended up fucking up (sorry tutts).

All of these bands should be pretty familiar to you by now, they're all amazing in their own ways but I'll let the videos do the talking instead of rambling on again. Enjoy.

KNEE CHIN / GERALD KEANEY & THE GERALD KEANEYS AT THE FIRST YEAR 16-09-10

Wow what a cool night, thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed this. Definitely a highlight of my year.


KNEE CHIN





Over the course of this year Knee Chin have come from being a loose houseshow band into an incredibly great weirdo pop band that can take on the world. Brisbane's finest.


GERALD KEANEY & THE GERALD KEANEYS





Gerald Keaney plays a set featuring both lineups of his band ("Through the ages"), ending the night in great poetic party style.


Sarah from Blank Realm even made a cake!

KNEE CHIN / POLYFOX AND THE UNION OF THE MOST GHOSTS / BLANK REALM AT LABEL PARTIES #4 26-06-10

The 4th Label Parties event held in the Fortitude Valley mall, this time the focus is on humble Brisbane label Bedroom Suck Records. It was a lot more laid back than the RIP Society Label Party the month before but still a decent night showcasing some of Brisbane's best bands. There was also a lunar eclipse which made everything a lot more cosmic.


KNEE CHIN





An absolute Brisbane treasure. If you haven't checked out Knee Chin yet then now is the time buddy.


POLYFOX AND THE UNION OF THE MOST GHOSTS





Newcastle's Polyfox and the Union of the Most Ghosts returns to Brisbane and comes as a much more traditional 3-piece rock setup than the solo collaborative experience we saw in September last year. A fun set that mixed revamped versions of the instrumental journey songs he's reknowned for as well as introducing for the first time vocals on a few songs.


BLANK REALM



I've run out of different ways of saying 'Blank Realm are awesome' but despite the fact I've seen them a million times, I never get sick of seeing them play. Blank Realm are awesome.

KNEE CHIN / BLANK REALM / DUD PILLS AT CUBBY HOLE 5-06-10

Adelaide's Dud Pills play Brisbane for the first time launching their debut cassette "SEXY AS HELL".


KNEE CHIN





Two new songs from Knee Chin!!!!1


BLANK REALM



Brisbane's hardest working and this blog's most filmed band Blank Realm wrote this song the afternoon of the show which is pretty awesome/fresh.


DUD PILLS









Alright listen up anonymous reader of my little blog, I see a lot of bands play, hell that's all I really do. Most bands don't really do anything for me, then there's a small few that make the nightmare of wasting my life bearable and maybe even agreeable. One of these bands is yep, Adelaide's Dud Pills. They're one of the best bands nobody has ever heard and that's why I've put up four songs from their set here, usually my limit is two but these guys are worth your time.

KITTEN PARTY / CURED PINK / HEART FLEW LIKE AN ARROW / KNEE CHIN / MARL CARX AT CUBBY HOLE 30-04-10

An epic album launch and last ever show for one of Brisbane's most underrated bands Marl Carx. The lineup featured some of the most creatively progressive and exciting bands this town has to offer right now and it was awesome to see so many people enjoying it.


KITTEN PARTY



Armed with only a casio keyboard, floor tom, loop pedal and not even wearing shoes, Ferny Grove export Kitten Party opens the show tonight and conquers the world. If this little instrumental doesn't bring a smile to your life hardened face then shucks mister, what's wrong with ya?


CURED PINK



Die psychotischen Industrie-und anti-gewerbelärm im Cured Pink hallt drohend über den Veranstaltungsort, wie Andrew McLellan verhandelt mit Kanälen und seine musikalischen Einflüsse mit Hilfe von einer Rolle auf Tonband aus der Hölle reel. Brutal effiziente.


HEART FLEW LIKE AN ARROW



Changing line ups like underwear (almost once a week right? "LOL"), Heart Flew Like an Arrow ditch the improv noise schtick in favour of a set of acoustically driven pop songs. Featured Nicholas from Knee Chin on drums and Lewis O'Leary from Lewis O'Leary and the Cucumbers on electric guitar.


KNEE CHIN



Knee Chin are fast becoming one of Brisbane's best bands and the crowd know it. With a Flying Nun-esque yet still distinctly Brisbane sound and also featuring one of the most hilariously idiosyncratic frontmen of our time, they put on a really great show. Good job guys.


MARL CARX





Having not played a show since June 2009 and with most of their two year existence spent wallowing within the honest yet dank confines of the Brisbane house show circuit, Marl Carx reunite for one last time and get the recognition they deserve. A thoroughly excited and drunk crowd show their respects with a celebratory MOSH as Brisbane's last nu-no wave band is put to rest.

SCUL HAZZARDS / PER PURPOSE / KNEE CHIN / SCIENCE AT LATROBE TCE. 6-02-10

This was a show in my house (saves a few $$$ on public transport). I must have really tolerant neighbours because the show was loud, drunken and slightly retarded yet noone complained. If anyone who lives near me is reading this - thanks for putting up with it. Scul Hazzards played a secret set which was DEAFENING.


SCUL HAZZARDS





This was definitely a way better set than the Step Inn show the night before. You just can't beat watching a heavy as fuck rock band in a lounge room.


PER PURPOSE







The first live performance of Glen Schenau's (Marl Carx, Kitchen's Floor) new band Per Purpose. Eccentric guitar pop with just the right amount of Australiana. Go on, give it a look. They're so new they don't even have a myspace.


KNEE CHIN





Knee Chin were cool, they sound like a Flying Nun band. Well done guys, well done.


SCIENCE



I know what you're thinking - "MORE SCIENCE, I WANT TO SEE MORE SCIENCE" and well, okay. Sure I've already put up footage here from their last two shows in the last month but no worries, here you go, even more Science. It's even a new song.


WHITE COP pulled out but you can watch the new music video here.
