This Spasmoslop gig with Muddy Lawrence etc. has been cancelled because the fun police have put a stop to gigs at Catfood Press. Cool. Good idea, dickheads.

DISCOBEANS MONDAY - 4th July 2011


+ BISCOTTI
Baking wonky beats that will break your knees and groove lines that will simmer until you are boiling. Kooky, colourful cocktail of sounds and dance with recipes from around the world and special home secrets.

+ SPASMOSLOP
Bruce McDarryl: Demented voiceboxisms, blown-out beats, mondo manic static, subsonic gut massages, malfunctioning cyborg errors and fuck knows what else.

+ PORPOISE TORTURE
Dark tape sounds, manipulation and grimisms of the voice from Christopher L.G. Hill (KRYSTOFFKRVSTOFFISTON, MOFFARFARRAH, GUGG, GAUNTLET etc.) No porpoises will be harmed during this performance.

+ ERNIE ALTHOFF
Ernie Althoff has been performing experimental music in Melbourne for 33 years. The fact that some of his audience aren't even that old themselves indicates some kind of perseverance and/or survival skillbase that he sees as a good thing! He may bring some electrically powered music machines, and other assorted bits and pieces with which to do sonic things at table height.

+ ENDLESS BEAUTY

BLACK MARKET June 2011 program


Black Market continues at a new venue with more excellent line-ups. Most of the shows for this month have been "guest-curated", including the 29th which I put together, eyyyyyy. I'm fuggin stoked for this line-up so here's some more info:

- HOLY BONER + ROBBIE AVENAIM - ultra blastbeat mania improv noisecore set with Brad (drums), Nik (vocals/electronics) & Robbie (drums and robo-drums)
- DIE PIGEON DIE - disgusting, filthy, ultra-heavy goregrind with Jack (guitar/gurgles), Leo (bass/gurgles) & Christoph (drums)
- NATASHA ANDERSON - spine-tingling noisescapes using computer manipulation of custom-made block flute/periscope of dooooom
- WANKO SPECIAL - debut solo performance of Yuka Discobeans! I have no idea what to expect, except that it will be cool as

Can't wait!

THE KILL did the USA


 The Kill have just been on tour on the East Coast of USA playing Maryland Deathfest and a bunch of sweeeet shows in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington DC and Philadelphia. There are already a few videos up on youtube:




And photos around if ya do a bit of searching. Thanks to the people who shot these and put them up. Super huge mega thanks to our driver and "cultural advisor" Jason Wade and everyone who helped organise stuff, let us crash at their house, fed us, attended to the shows, moshed up a storm and made us feel so welcome. Extra mondo ultra-brutal grinding thanks to the other bands we played with, especially our tour-mates Noisear and Shitstorm, who absolutely ripped arse every time they played, and our fellow Aussies in Doubed Over and Internal Rot. Mad holy-fuck-that-was-good thanks to Last Days of Humanity for blowing my balls off at MDF. It was my grind nerd dream come true to see these guys play! I might post more about all this later...
