COCK AND BALL TORTURE - BULLDOZING AUSTRALIA 2013

A progenitor of pitch-shifted, porn influenced Goregrind, and one of the most influential groups within the style, Germany's Cock and Ball Torture make their first ever trip "Down Under" at the very start of 2013.

After 3 full lengths and several EPs and splits, the group is known and loved worldwide for their catchy, grooving, down-tuned, rancid Goregrind, and have a strong and supportive worldwide fan base on the back of their impressive discography and excellent live performances.

After 15 years together, and countless successful shows and tours, the lurid lads decided it was finally time to make a trip to the "Land Down Under", and give Australia a taste of the aural filth they've been dishing up for 1 and a 1/2 decades.

So this is it, the tour so many have wanted to see: Cock and Ball Torture - Bulldozing Australia 2013.

DEATH BY CONES @ MIUC 15th Anniversary - 15/01/2013

7.30pm Doors for an 8pm-sharp start.

The MIUC's 15th birthday celebrations kick off this Tuesday with five suitably diverse groupings - traversing the inaudible to the deafening, the organic to the processed, the tonal to the textural - all the while celebrating the sheer joy that is improvised music! A tip of the hat to MIUC's free jazz roots with the old-and-new-garde grouping of Ren Walters, James Mclean, Scott McConnachie, Brett Evans andChristopher Young kicks off proceedings; with the speaker-shredding aural violence that is Death By Cones quickly following to ensure you know for sure it's 2013. Two of the most beautiful extended voices in Melbourne, Carolyn Connors and Emma Albury, as well as two of the most terrifyingly grimm extended voices in Melbourne, Emma Albury and the entity known as Voidhanger, team up with the terrifyingly beautiful guitar of Alex Garsden for a cult collaboration of the most brutal/beautiful/brutiful kind. Bum Creek and Wife revive their awesomely confusing and confusingly awesome battle royale/collaboration for those unfortunate enough to have missed it at MIUC in early 2012. Finally, renowned French turntablist and 'musical travel agent' Philippe Petit goes head to head with Canberran guitarist Shoeb Ahmad for a world-class set of improv that should prove to be as deep, dark and immense as the Indian Ocean that usually separates the two.

- Philippe Petit (France) and Shoeb Ahmad (Canberra)
- Bum Creek vs. Wife feat. Trevelyan Clay, Sam Karmel, Tarquin Manek, Samaan Fieck and Eric Demetriou
- Voidhanger, Emma Albury, Carolyn Connors and Alex Garsden
- Death By Cones feat. Nik Kennedy, Phillip Holquinn, Mark Groves and Mark Skelton
- Ren Walters, James Mclean, Scott McConnachie, Brett Evans and Christopher Young

Avant Garde Improvised Music and Sound Performance
Every Tuesday night at Bar Open, 317 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy 3065
$5/$10

----------------------------

Seriously humongous and gracious thanks to Sean Baxter, Stephen Richards, Lloyd Honeybrook, Kerrie Farnsworth, previous organises, supporters and everyone at Bar Open for keeping Make It Up Club running all these years. I first experienced MIUC as a performer in 2007. Having never really played completely unplanned live improvised music before, Sean threw me into a group with Robbie Avenaim, Max Kohane and Ray Ahn and effectively re-configured my perspective on what music can be. Through MIUC, I've been fortunate enough to see countless mind-blowing performances, introduce new people to improvised music, collaborate with a variety of fantastic people, and have an invaluable outlet for experimentation and new ideas. Going to MIUC gigs as a punter, there's an atmosphere of community and respect that makes it unlike any other gig around. Always a rewarding and fun experience.
Thanks heaps dudes!!

DISCOBEANS MONDAY - 14/01/2013

We've got an arse-spankingly ripping line-up to start 2013, come on down!!

+ BINLINER (Album launch)
Binliner is the musical tag of Oskr Wyldkat. His love affair with electronic music stretches back more than a decade, through different cities and scenes that have since died out. He is therefore well primed to make some unconventional music. His first release is "fresh from the bin", from November 2012 on Hopskotch Records. Binliner draws influence from a wide array of sources - Warp Records, Bloody Fist,Kompakt, System Corrupt, DHR, Spiral Tribe, Clan Analogue, Oizo, Ed Banger, minimal, acid, jungle, grime, blah blah etc, just to name a few. However the music sits most comfortably in the field of glitch hop. Have a listen to the record, it's free.
