CANCELLED - SPASMOSLOP @ Catfood Press 26/06/11

This Spasmoslop gig with Muddy Lawrence etc. has been cancelled because the fun police have put a stop to gigs at Catfood Press. Cool. Good idea, dickheads.

DISCOBEANS MONDAY - 4th July 2011

+ BISCOTTI

Baking wonky beats that will break your knees and groove lines that will simmer until you are boiling. Kooky, colourful cocktail of sounds and dance with recipes from around the world and special home secrets.

+ SPASMOSLOP

Bruce McDarryl: Demented voiceboxisms, blown-out beats, mondo manic static, subsonic gut massages, malfunctioning cyborg errors and fuck knows what else.

+ PORPOISE TORTURE

Dark tape sounds, manipulation and grimisms of the voice from Christopher L.G. Hill (KRYSTOFFKRVSTOFFISTON, MOFFARFARRAH, GUGG, GAUNTLET etc.) No porpoises will be harmed during this performance.

+ ERNIE ALTHOFF

Ernie Althoff has been performing experimental music in Melbourne for 33 years. The fact that some of his audience aren't even that old themselves indicates some kind of perseverance and/or survival skillbase that he sees as a good thing! He may bring some electrically powered music machines, and other assorted bits and pieces with which to do sonic things at table height.

+ ENDLESS BEAUTY

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!

THE KILL did the USA

 The Kill have just been on tour on the East Coast of USA playing Maryland Deathfest and a bunch of sweeeet shows in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington DC and Philadelphia. There are already a few videos up on youtube:

The Kill @ Maryland Deathfest

The Kill @ The Bordello, Philadelphia

The Kill @ Strange Matter, Richmond

And photos around if ya do a bit of searching. Thanks to the people who shot these and put them up. Super huge mega thanks to our driver and "cultural advisor" Jason Wade and everyone who helped organise stuff, let us crash at their house, fed us, attended to the shows, moshed up a storm and made us feel so welcome. Extra mondo ultra-brutal grinding thanks to the other bands we played with, especially our tour-mates Noisear and Shitstorm, who absolutely ripped arse every time they played, and our fellow Aussies in Doubed Over and Internal Rot. Mad holy-fuck-that-was-good thanks to Last Days of Humanity for blowing my balls off at MDF. It was my grind nerd dream come true to see these guys play! I might post more about all this later...

DISCOBEANS MONDAY - 6th June 2011

Another ripsnorter line-up, if I do say so myself. Can't wait to see Discobeans godmother Yuka's new duo collab with Mel Toxic Lipstick, and James Rushford/Jess Pinney/Simon Hanselmann's Tight Passage. "Sludgy Psych Shit" according to James. Bonza.
Couldn't be happier with how this series has been going so far. Thanks heaps to everyone that has played and attended these gigs! Onward!

First time duo collab with one of my favourite Melbourne drummers Bryce Sweatman (Psychward Cult/Pathetic Human/Chrome Dome/The Zingers) - sweet! We've been jamming and recording some dark vibes lately using processed percussion/vocals/keyboard kinda shit. Also really looking forward to Harriet Morgan (Psychward Cult/Murgh'terr) playing solo under the highly enjoyable name Military Position.

BLACK MARKET @ Noise Bar

Very stoked to be playing solo at the first of a new weekly gig at Noise Bar. And SFHS a couple of weeks after that! Support!

FUCKED @ KIPL 28/03/11

Another Fucked gig next week!

"Globe-trotting glass eater Lucas Abela has made a career out of exploring the extreme side of sound. First it was with turntables attached to saw horses with sewing machine motors, briefly Freddy Krugger-styled record needle gloves, then it was a contact mic'd trampoline. For the last few years, under the guise of Justice Yeldham, it's been glass.

Starting each performance with a large sheet of glass, a contact mic and an array of effect pedals. Performances last as long as the glass can withstand the pressure of Mr Abela's face.

Sabbatical is proud to present this rare Justice Yeldham performance as Mr Abela stops over in Melbourne on his way to who knows where.

KIPL custodians and all-round excellent gents Wife will kick off proceedings, followed by the interminable noise assault of Fucked. Offering a welcome respite, Miles Brown & Shags Chamberlain will cleanse the aural palette with their theremin and synth explorations.

Finally, Justice Yeldham will perform on a couch. Seriously, that was his only rider request - a couch to perform on.

It's an early start for an early end. It is a Monday night after all.

Monday, 28 March 2011
7.30pm

Seven dollars entry

FUCKED @ The Tote 20/03/11

"Many in Melbourne first witnessed the power of Defektro Live at KTL (Featuring Stephen O'Malley of SUNN O))) in June 2008. And it has been a long long wait for his return.
In the time between, "Metal_And_Bone_Servitude", a studio collaboration between Defektro and The Bastard Noise was released, selling out almost instantly and becoming a cult hit with lovers of noise worldwide.
Formed in Tokyo, Japan in 1995 as a three piece industrial/noise unit, Defektro is currently the one man operation of Hirofumi Uchino and based in Sydney.
Hirofumi is known and respected worldwide as much for the instruments and effects pedals he builds as the extreme forms of music he creates with them.

Live performances from this truly unique artist are all too rare. It is with great honour that WeEmptyRooms is able to present this event with such a quality lineup at one of Melbourne's greatest live venues.

Also WeEmptyRooms will be doing some killer deals on all label stock and distro at the mercy desk so vinyl lovers bring ya dosh."

FUCKED

Lloyd Honeybrook - horrendous blown-out saxophonics

Robbie Avenaim -ultrablasts and robodrums

Nik Kennedy - oral gymnastics
