UMBILICAL TENTACLE surfin' with GRANPA

June 6th @ Northcote Social Club
Monday Night Mass - FREE

- Rice Corpse (Lucas Abela/Maria Moles/James Bowers)
- Umbilical Tentacle (partygrindharshsurfmoshnoisecoremania)
- Angus Leslie & Cosima Jaala (first-time face-off of epic bratcore proportions)

In a Melbournian first Lucas 'Granpa' Abela kicks off three days of tinnitus-drenced madness with his angular noiserock improv unit Rice Corpse adeptly assisted by local shredders Maria Moles - the percussive prowess behind Jaala and Titanic Jamz - and James Bowers - the vocoder (and keyboards or whatever) behind Sex On Toast, Au Dré and far too many others. To welcome the cacophonous royalty we've laid out our finest silly sonic silverware with absurdist aristocrats Umbilical Tentacle reppin' the everythingcore brutality, and turn up the musical and performative intensities by clashing two of the most charismatic frontpeople in town - Angus Leslie and Cosima Jaala. Eep.

Cheers to Lloyd Honeybrook for organising!!

Pretty bloody excited to be revisiting my duo with Harriet Morgan/Military Position, which hasn't happened in about 3-4 years or something... alongside an absolute mind-boggler line-up!! Big cheers to Lloyd Honeybrook and whoever else is involved for making this happen.
Here's the recording from our first gig ever. In Shane Van Den Akker's kitchen, for an audience of 2 people: Shane, and some other guy who you can hear turn up part way through the set, who then immediately went outside. Memorable!

First KILL gigs since Euro tour 2014!! Our 2nd full-length is out now... did I mention that already?

Also just released - "Speed Freak Killer" CDEP which contains our tracks from the 3-way split with Antigama & Noisear, plus 3 bonus tracks. The 3-way split tracks are some of my favourite THE KILL tracks that we have recorded... bridging the gap between MAKE 'EM SUFFER and KILL THEM... ALL, I'm particularly happy with the way my vocals sound on this recording, thanks to Jason Fuller/Goatsound recording them through a pre-amp to give them that harsh and distorted sound, brrrrrutal!

Check it all out here - https://blastasfuk.bandcamp.com/

Oh yes and THE KILL contributed a BLACK FLAG cover to this thing - https://goatsoundstudios.bandcamp.com/releases

UMBILICAL TENTACLE & CLOGGED videos & news

Thanks to Brad & Brendan/Kingbean for recording and uploading these. Cool to see footage from the UxTx gig at Footscray Park as it's a rare occasion where I didn't play synth and we get to see Brad with his undies on his head. Rock'n'roll baby.
Next up for UxTx - very excited that we're recording soon for a split 7" with legendary Japanese noisecore band and our own personal heroes, FINAL EXIT!!! And we're playing this gig:

https://www.facebook.com/events/1375681716064479/ - thanks to SHITWANK for organising!

As for CLOGGED - we recently recorded 14 tracks in my studio with techno/electronica producer Juxtpose for our debut EP or whatever it is. Definitely not techno... Mr. Juxtpose is using his skills to help us create a raw, nasty, noisy goregrind recording... of course! It's sounding great so far. We'll put some samples online soon... probably...

THE KILL Euro tour

THE KILL just got back from an amazing tour of central/western Europe where we played OBSCENE EXTREME and PLAY FAST OR DON'T fests in Czech Republic, plus a bunch of bloody excellent smaller shows in Czech, Poland, Slovakia, Germany, Netherlands & France... including 4 shows with one of my absolute favourite bands of all time - FINAL EXIT from Japan... great blokes and totally ball-tearing on stage, yowser! Cheers dudes!

I was amazed with the strength and passion of the scenes in Europe. All the shows went well, with good turnouts and cool, fun people who love the grindcore! A dream come true! I'd heard people say that we here in Australia could learn a lot from the way Europe does things, and I must agree!

Extremely humongous thanks to Curby/Obscene Extreme and Otto/PFOD for driving us around in their vans, organising stuff, helping us, and answering our endless barrages of stupid uncultured-Aussie questions! Extremely humongous thanks also to everyone who was involved - all the bands we played with, friends/bands/bookers/promoters who organised things for us/lent us gear/showed us around/fed us great food & hooked us up with places to sleep, labels who helped with records & merch, my band-mates Jay & Roby for being brutal dudes, and of course all the grind-lovers who came to watch us play!! FUCKIN' CHEERS MATE!!!!!

I took lots of notes and will start working on a more detailed tour diary soon, to be published in a (web?)zine of some sort in the future for anyone bored enough to wanna read my in-depth analyses of European coffee and pastries heheh

Meanwhile, here we are playing OEF and the crazy OEF afterparty, yeeeeeha:

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

Insert description here.

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!
