KANG GANG ARE DOING THEIR FIRST TOUR. MARF LOTH IS COMING ALONG FOR THE RIDE TO SHOW THEM HOW DREAMS CAN BE EASILY BROKEN BY POOR ATTENDANCE.

Cat Cat were here recently and put on one hell of a show. I didn’t make it but i heard it was good. Waterford are from Canberra and they sound like a time-machine transported the lot of them back to the days of Big Star but with MODERN tendencies.

Brisbane’s Loose Grip are going to be offended when they realise non of the other bands on the Canberra bill are hardcore bands. But it won’t matter because its going to be good. If anything come to see them before they go to Sydney to play with Dead Farmers.

Heavy Yolks started out as a comedy act. Then the comedy turned into maniac violence. They have never sounded better. Think Powder Monkeys, Beasts Of Bourbon, Royal Trux-wah-wah and some other more “Aussie pub rock” but with Mothers Of Invention-style absurdity. Last time i played with these guys in was at a acid-house pool party in Footscray and it was incredible.

Tour Dates below.

Don’t know the bands? TAKE A GAMBLE. LIVE A LITTLE.
