DAMN THE TORPEDOES
UPTOWN ACE
HARVEST SMOKE

THE MOCKINGBIRD

It's almost Xmas, so let's have a party right! This show is so incestuous it would make your Uncle-dad shudder.

SONS OF LEE MARVIN - garage gonzo elders with a 3rd album 'Cutthroats & Conjurers' just released with a handful of fairly fucked up & loose album launch shows in September & October just gone. Not quite rested and with busted limbs kind of healed, best they get at it again

LA BASTARD - (I'm sure you know who we are...)

DAMN THE TORPEDOES - slick, well-oiled rock'n'roll machine that will most likely embarrass the other bands on the bill. In fact they are deadly

UPTOWN ACE - big pop rock songs from those with a pedigree in guitar squeals, high kicks and bottom end

HARVEST SMOKE  almost a year since their last show, but they're all in the one town for a weekend so best hit up some cowpunk rock'n'roll for it 
 
NICI BLUE EYES - country ballads that will make your socks melt 

LEECHESPerth skatepunk thrash band touring Melbourne on the back of a new 7" vinyl release called 'Rott'. Short.Fast.Fuck!. 
 
THE MOCKINGBIRD - Sweet country sounds to kick it all off -

We're BACK! And so much to tell!

So, I've been overseas the last few months and the band has been on hiatus. A lot of things have been happening in La La land so let's start way back in June to a time where I wasn't over airports.

We had the last show in June with our old and much loved bass player Jimi, who has now decided to focus on fixing people's brains as a profession, and consequently this takes up a lot of time. The show was a lot of fun and the band is very sad to see him go.

Ben flew off to the USA around the same time I did (yes, he went on his own adventures too) but we managed to sneak into Secret Location Studios with Jesse Booher and Paul Maybury, get down tracks for our new album, and squeeze in some mixing as well!

Our new bass player, Dick, snuck into the band while I was away. He also plays in the amazing band Damn The Torpedoes (incestuous lot, musicians...) and will be a busy, busy person in the coming months. Welcome to the fold!

We had our first official show in 6 months at the Old Bar on Friday with the Mightiest of Guns, and  Sun God Replica, Link from The Meanies new band. What a way to break in a new bass player hey!
