Filming finished & other show details
So the weekend's filming went really well. It ran a couple of hours behind schedule (Partially my fault!), but what shoot actually runs on time huh? Stuart is busy editing at the moment so we should see the finished product by the time the album launch comes around on February 3rd.
Filming was done at the Masonic Hall in Collingwood. Its an amazing building with all pre WWII fixtures and everything. Its just beautiful. I think they are trying to get together money to renovate the place as it isn't in the best of conditions (Looked pretty sweet when we were there, but anyway, what would I know?) but they are a good place to hire if you need a hall or meeting room for your um, non Masonic functions!
There were a quite a number of costume changes involved for the band itself. As usual I was the highest maintenance out of all of us! But the end result will look great. All the audience members and swing dancers that rocked up, were well worth the vegan and gluten free cooking that was done the night before by yours truly, and more extravagantly by Ben. They all looked super amazing as well as put in a stella effort dance-wise. To be honest I'm still a little sore from the weekend. I didn't realise how many many hours I was actually moving and dancing until the next day. I don't think all the restrictive suck-em-in underwear helped either.
Thanks goes out to all the people that rocked up on the day, Stuart, Claire and their crew, Jilly for hair, Elise for makeup, and the Collingwood Masonic Hall for being awesome.
There's a few photos up on the Facebook page from the day too if you're curious. Otherwise you will hae to wait to see what the end result will be!
Onto shows!
So, the band pretty much has 2 shows planned in January before the launch date.
January 21st @ Gigfest, Bendigo in Central Victoria
Details can be found here
January 27th @ The Penny Black on Sydney Road, Brunswick
Details can be found here
Get on down and get your boogie on!
Take care

November 2011 Update
So!
I know that things appear to be very quiet from the outside looking in, but it really isn't the case. Right now La Bastard are DEEP in preparations for our album launch and video clip - who would have thought an independent band could be that prepared huh?
To make it easier, because I tend to just go back and forth a lot when going over stuff I'll break it down into some dot points
Video Clip - For some reason I like to take on more than I can chew, so what better way to create more work for the band than to make a video clip to go with the album!! Whoo! So Jimi, Eli one of our cast members (TOP SECRET!!! As if I'll give THAT away) and Stuart Simpson (Who part of Lost Art Films and also Director of El Monstro Del Mar) will be meeting tomorrow to go over our plan of attack. Now that I've said it I really hope things don't fall in one giant heap. I think I might just cry......
Album - Currently our album is in its final stages of mixing and will be sent off for mastering and pressing very shortly. The artwork we pretty much got done before Ben went over seas for work (in Africa ca ca...) so we are really on the home stretch as far as having it in our hot little hands!
Album Launch - WELL it has been locked in!! Friday the 3rd of February at The Retreat in Brunswick!! Lock it in! FUCKING SAVE THE DATE *ahem* We will be taking over The Retreat with one of our favourite bands to play with (Well there are a couple, but these guys know how to DANCE!) The Death Rattles and its guaranteed to be an awesome night.
We have maybe a couple of shows between now and then. I will let you guys know as soon as I know I'm allowed to say (What a mouth full)
Seriously though, who actually reads this?
ahhhhhhhh...........good times xx

I should update this more often....
I think I will make a more conscious effort to do so. Facebook, Myspace, Google + seem so transient. I've been lazy.....
In other news. La Bastard are playing this Friday night at the Bendigo Hotel in Collingwood
