DEADSHITS! TWO - PREVIEW

The second instalment of the Deadshits Festival series is happening at Woodland, Brisbane on January 28. Here's a preview of the line up we've put together and check out the facebook event for more info. Or just take my word for it that it's gonna be awesome and get your ticket here.


BOOMGATES



"With a lineup consisting of Brendan from Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Steph from Dick Diver and a rhythm section of members from Teen Archer and The Twerps, you know right away Melbourne’s BOOMGATES will be great. Their music is rich with goodtime summer vibes, listening to it makes you want to get out of the house more and generally be less of a shitty person. Debut 7” out now on R.I.P SOCIETY RECORDS." Myspace






CIRCLE PIT



"CIRCLE PIT are a glam/scum/rock ‘n’ roll band from Sydney, Australia. Formed in 2008 by Jack Mannix and Angela Bermuda, they are now a five person gang consisting of Harriet Hudson, Al Haddock & Jeffrey Lewis, with Owen Penglis (Straight Arrows) occasionally making six. This is their first show in Australia since returning from a 40-date, 6-week USA tour promoting their new Bruise Constellation LP, out now on Siltbreeze Records." Myspace






HOLY BALM



"Holders of the controversial title “the best band in the world”, HOLY BALM are in fact three humble young adults from Sydney’s inner suburbs. The only thing discerning these guys from your neighbours is that on weekends they happen to be the best freaking weirdo-electronic-dance¬band in the world. If you happen to like your dance music served with weird shit like butter prawns and oregano then this is for you." Myspace






ASSASSINS 88



"ASSASSINS 88 are a two piece from Canberra that mix the Lightning Bolt aesthetic with 60’s pop sensibilities. Their debut album Go Go Second Chance Virgin was a worldwide blog hit of 2009 and the band have only gotten higher and higher since." Myspace






SUPER STAR



"SUPER STAR equals Kieran Hegarty and Esther Edquist, who make wandering, slow space songs. They combine synthesiser and guitar to make a type of music that is rhythmic, wonky and repetitive. Self described as “floating music”, these are slow rhythms, strange sounds and simple songs." Myspace

No Super Star footage sorry, I filmed them in 2009 but it didn't work out. They are awesome good though.



PER PURPOSE



"PER PURPOSE are a three piece band of Brisbane that formed early this year in Queensland, in and of other acts and that. Their debut 7” Heil Progress is out now on B.S. Records, with a tour of Aus in Jan/Feb 2011 to support. Oh pretty please." Myspace

DEADSHITS TWO

FRIDAY JANUARY 28

8PM

WOODLAND BAR
CONISTON LANE, FORTITUDE VALLEY

PRESENTED BY BEDROOM SUCK RECORDS, THE OUTPOST AND ETERNAL SOUNDCHECK

SCRAPS / SCIENCE / PER PURPOSE AT BURST CITY 23-05-10

An awesome Sunday afternoon homecoming show at Burst City for Scraps, this being her first Australian show this year after touring around Japan and Europe.


SCRAPS



Scraps plays a set of almost entirely fresh material, only relenting to play some of her old hits when verbally abused by a drunk and nostalgic crowd hungry to relive 2009. This song is brand new and really, really nice.


SCIENCE





Science return with a new addition of Sebastian from The Seizures on guitar and the result? Heavy as shit PUNK/METAL/DOOM. Damn cool.


PER PURPOSE



The last Per Purpose per formance for awhile as drummer Joe embarks on an overseas trip. This was the last song of their set and is also a new one. Per fection.

PER PURPOSE / LOOMER / MOTHER AND FATHER AT ROSIES 10-04-10

Argh. The Brisbane CBD on a Saturday night. Totally depressing. This show however was worthwhile enough to warrant an expedition into it's hellish epicentre and luckily the footage turned out not too bad too. too. huh?


PER PURPOSE





Per Purpose is improving with every show they play. This set was solid and I reckon by the end of the year everybody will be talking about them. Even the guy with the weird smile down at the deli.


LOOMER



Probably the best Loomer set I've seen. I've had horrible luck trying to film these guys before but this turned out pretty good so check it out.


MOTHER AND FATHER





Melbourne band Mother and Father's final show for this tour they've been doin' for their album nothin'. I was a bit skeptical about this band and wouldn't of gone had it not been for the supports but I ended up enjoying it and I liked how they weren't in denial about their influences but enthusiastically embraced it in a 'Hell yeah, we've all heard this kind of music a million times before but that's because it's awesome. Let's get drunk and party!' kind of way. I'll happily drink to that.

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.
