THE CONVOY

TANNHAUSA GATE
Tannhäusa Gate merges the glitches and noise pollution of our digital environment with the warm dulcet tones of analog synths, creating aural mantras and enigmatic psychedelic soundscapes.

+ SUPPORTS
Snow-soaked nebulousnessless. Swathes of sonoversal stoicisms. Serendipitous sinusoidal supplications. Siiiiiiiick.

BUTLER/KACZMAREK/HILTON
Gary Butler (the creation and destruction of music), Rafal Kaczmarek (drums), Tim Hilton (trombone)

HOLY BONER
Total Devastation Noisecore (+ guests)

HOLY BONER @ MIUC 18th Birthday! - 05/01/2016

The Make It Up Club has been committed to nurturing, presenting and promoting avant-garde improvised music and sound performance since 1998, making it one of the longest continually-running improv nights in the world. 2016 sees our Club reach the numerically momentous 18-year milestone, so we cordially invite you to partake in the sort of annual aleatoric festivities befitting an improv night who’s just reached legal voting/tattooing/drinking age. The Club is undeniably a sonically variegated beast, so four diverse assemblages of stupendous spontaneous soundmakers have offered to fill each Tuesday at Bar Open with brutal jubilations and textural exaltations. 

The first week features three of Melbourne’s rowdiest ‘rock’ groups eschewing their usual composed fare for some intense indeterminacy with a special guest noisemaker each - with proto-metal boogie shredders Power featuring cacophonous guitar deity Dave Brown, post-punk-flavoured-garage punx Cable Ties featuring boyzIImencore tapemangler Llara Isabell Arena, and the recently resurfaced unrelenting noisecore devastation of Holy Boner (duo) featuring bonus electrodensities from Todd Anderson-Kunert and James Tolman.

January 5th

- Power feat. Nathan Williams (Guitar, Voice), Isaac Ishadi (Bass) & Penke Ethman (Drums) w/ Dave Brown (Guitar, Electronics)
- Cable Ties feat. Jenny McKechnie (Guitar, Voice), Nick Brown (Bass) & Shauna Ceratops (Drums) w/ Llara Goodall (Tapes, Electronics)
- Holy Boner feat. Nik Kennedy (Throat, Noise Bass, Electronics), Brad Smith (Throat, Drums), James Tolman (Throat, Noise) & Todd Anderson-Kunert (Throat, Electronics)

Last weeks' gigs

Forgot to post about these last week... good gigs! Thanks to everyone involved!

The final Make It Up Club for 2015 features a motley crew of fourteen fine representatives from the myriad of Melbournian musicians who have bestowed the Club with aleatoric delights this year, congregating from their respective corners of the sonoverse to mutually revel in the splendour of spontaneous collaboration. Drawing on Annalee Koernig’s curatorial tactic for the Stutter Big Band of smashing together disparate improvisers adept at sensitive auditory engagement, participants from the new garde to the OG MIUC posse will utilise string, skin, wind and things to transmute slivers of mangled jazz, exquisite contemporary classical, brutal shitcore, lush drone, delectable noise, ecstatic psychedelia and boyzIImencore into a capriciously complex sonic entity attesting to the rich intricacy of our fertile local sonic terrain. There will be three sets of approximately 20 minutes length and no further imposed parameters, because improvisation and sonic liberation are awesome.

HOLY BONER video!

Cheers to Swift/Passenger of Shit(wank) for filming and uploading this recent set of HOLY BONER playing our 2nd gig with the "new 2014 version" line-up, at Make It Up Club. Yeeeeehaa, thanks mate! 
And thanks to MIUC for having us!

HOLY BONER @ MIUC - 25/03/2014

Expect nothing but aleatoric atrocities at MIUC this Tuesday as three scumcore groupings control sieges of sonic power to demonstrate the potential of extemporisation-as-Divine-Death and redefine the very concept of brutalissimo. First time make-it-uppers Pissbolt smash out of the prison-without-walls known as composed music to suffocate their kvlto thrash in a whirlwind of spontaneously unabated fury and flex their improv instincts of survival. Lo-fi parasites Peter Hyde, Chris Nylstoch and Sean Baxter (aka the heaviest new noisecore trio of 2013) grind past the point of no return in their sophomore blastfest sure to make Multinational Corporation-backed punks crap their dacks. And the polluted minds of Holy Boner inflict unquestionable suffering upon their anti-musical weaponry, with the common enemy of audial moderation well and truly within their auditory crosshairs.


•Pissbolt feat. S-Bolt (Roar), R-Bolt (Axe) & J-Bolt (Skins)

•Peter Hyde (Voice), Chris Nylstoch (Guitar) & Sean Baxter (Percussion)

•Holy Boner feat. Omad (Noisecore Vocals/Noise), Nik Kennedy (Modified Bass/Goregrind Vocals), Rod Cooper (Handmade Guitar/Noise) & Brad Smith (Drums/Grindcore Vocals)

Punshing power electronics with a punk tinge...

SPLIT TEETH:Lightning speed power violence; 100% brutal.

Holy Boner: All star noise/grind lineup for maximum brutalitiy.

Velvet Whip: Self doubt, intelligence, paranoia, urban problems, claustrophobia, ugliness, animosity, and power.

Inmost Night: Punkened black metal to open your mind!


Live at Holdings
492 Bell Street Pascoe Vale South
3pm Sunday 16th February 2014
Free.
All Ages.
Free tea & coffee.

Plenty of merch available; bring your hard earned bread and squander it on some dated formats...

"If you are coming by car there is no parking on Bell Street, but you should be able to find some in York Street which is just around the corner. The last stop on the 55 tram at Bell Street will get you nearby. Holdings is about a 5 block walk west from there. If you can get to Bell or Coburg Station the 513 bus will take you pretty much across the road. Just ask to get off before Reynolds Parade. Holdings is across the road from a 7-Eleven (which is on the corner of Reynolds & Bell) if you need a landmark."

VERY EXCITED for this - our first gig with the new HOLY BONER line-up...  

Brad Smith - Drums/grindcore vocals
Nik Kennedy - Modified bass/goregrind vocals
Rod Cooper - Handmade guitar/noise
Omad - Noisecore vocals/noise

We've been jamming and doing some recordings (coming soon)... and I reckon with Rod's demented guitar and Omad's harsh Arse Destroyer-ish vocals added to the me & Brad "rhythm section" it's sounding more brutal/intense/noisy and chaotic-but-tight than ever before! 
TOTAL DEVASTATION NOISECORE!!!!

HOLY BONER @ Club Voltaire - 20/10/2012

Holy Boner is back! Now with added Rod Cooper on handmade guitar/vocals, we've stripped the sound back and returned to the original vision for HxBx, which is, quite simply - TOTAL DESTRUCTION NOISECORE!!! Inspired by our favourite noisecore and noisy grind bands like GBN, Arse Destroyer, Last Days of Humanity and Final Exit, but we're using modified and hand-made instruments, vocal effects and other nifty tricks to create our own sound.
Here's a sample:


And we have a gig:

An exploration of the most insulting, abrasive, and generally fucking batshit music we can find, joyously flittling from ambient electronica to heavy jazz to metal, with generous helpings of white-noise across the board.

Event The First: featuring Bommy Knocker, Nyquistx, Holy Boner and dropbunny. 

Located in the most sneaky venue in Melbourne, Club Voltaire, which offers some of the cheapest booze around, an awesomely eclectic bookstore, and an intimate space for some horrific noisemaking.

Doors open from half 6, first band is on at 7 so get in early. $5 entry.

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!

Onto the Soundcloud bandwagon

Myspace evidently had a car accident, leaving it horribly disfigured and incapacitated so I'm gonna start putting music on Soundcloud now - http://soundcloud.com/spasmoslop

Starting with a sample of a Holy Boner jam from last year and a preview/sampler track from the upcoming debut Spasmoslop release "Non-Monoglot" coming out soon on Magik Crowbar! http://mindtimedestroy.blogspot.com/

More info on that when it happens.

DISCOBEANS 07/02/11

This is the first gig for a sweeeeeeet new monthly thing I'm helping Yuka organise @ Discobeans. It'll be on the first Monday of every month with noise/music/performance stuffz both local and not-so-local crankin it out in the downstairs restaurant area of Discobeans (restaurant is closed on Monday). Really stoked to be reprising our HxBx/Yuka collab for this, last time was a blast. Google/myspace the other acts to check out their smooth tones. More info coming soon... probably...
