SONS OF LEE MARVIN

LA BASTARD

DAMN THE TORPEDOES

UPTOWN ACE

HARVEST SMOKE

NICI BLUE EYES

LEECHES (WA)

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 

LEECHES - Perth 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!
 

Time for rest! Sort of.....

What an amazing single launch! It's always so fun to be in front of an audience which dances and has fun and appreciates what you are doing! Thank you so much for coming down and making it the night it was. Other bands were fantastic and everyone was happy. Couldn't ask for much more!

Here's a live review from Inpress from the single launch last Friday night

AND Chuma photos HERE

Read the 60 Seconds with La Bastard from Beat Magazine HERE

And The MX and MX Twitter promos below, which are lovely...

All the radio stuff went ace pants as well. People have been super sweet.

AND on a side note as I wore that floral dress in the clip, the promo shots as well as at the album launch I officially can't wear it again for fear of recrimination in Who or Women's Day magazine. 

Hrmm....what a come down after the launch! Last of the 'Take Me Away' limited t-shirts have been sent out today, just getting some mixing done now on the album before we bugger off for a while and  other little bits and pieces...

The single, the album and various t shirts are still available HERE

*******************

We will miss Jimi tremendously. I won't crap on about it, but it will be hard to find another bass player that is equally as awesome as a person and musician.

anyways...........YaaaAAaaaAAaAAY to holidays!!

'Take Me Away' Clip & Media Reviews & Stuff

Here's the video clip! All up and shiny and fun and new and tropical and bright and fresh and exciting and stuff and yeah!
