DZ Ruined My Life Mini Doco
This lovely little doco, splicing together footage from DZ's off-the-fucking-chain live show with random behind the scenes tom foolery, highlights just how much of a wild twelve months it's been for the party-loving Brisbane duo.
Ten Questions: DZ
We recently sat down inside a large container called 'electronic mail' with Brisbane wildcats DZ and hit them with ten questions. Coincidentally enough, they fired back ten related answers. We then hit the big red 'GO' button and now they are here for you to read.
Die! Die! Die!, DZ, The Mint Chicks, Tucker B's
Wedding Messages For Jonny
As some of you would already know, I got married about a month ago. Chief Editor and head of our Euro Department Mike Punch was the best man and, in an attempt to foil our strict 'no presents' policy, he organised a bunch of my favourite musicians to record special little wedding messages. The results are fairly spine-tinglingly lovely.
DZ bleed into the new year
DZ, the undisputed kings of 2009, have announced that they'll be kicking off Twenty Ten with another trek down the East Coast, with support from high school punks Howl.

Blue Blood
Bristown party duo DZ prove once again why they are the masters of the home-made music video.
This weekend in Sydney: DZ, The Loft, Seekae in Siberia
Wowwweee.. the weekend is just about to drop like a rookie gang of Drop Zone re-enacting legends. Seems like only yesterday it was Monday morning and you were crawling out of a day bar/k-hole, doesn't it? Well, guess what lads, honeyz, wildcats? It's time to get 'crunky' all over again.
Boundary Sounds announce NYE House Party line-up
The Grates to headline. DZ and Ponytail to bring the ruckus. Philly Jay Jayz, Young Heretics and Chaingang bringing the 'indie' for the youngsters. Bases loaded.
DZ announce EP launch tour
DZ, aka Brisbane's finest (sorry Powderfinger), will be hitting the road next month in promotion of their upcoming debut EP DZ Ruined My Life, which is scheduled to be released on September 11 via Useless Art Records.
DZ
Blue Blood
The first single from the group's forthcoming debut EP is the kind of punch in the guts that we/you really wanted/needed. Shit just got real.
DZ sign record deal
The Brisbane punk duo 'ink a deal' with Useless Art Records, with their debut EP scheduled for a September release.
Atrocities officially address the alleged DZ guitar theft incident
The Sydney band released a statement early this evening that outlines their involvement in the event.
Do you know the low life scumbags who stole DZ's guitar at Essential Festival?
If you do, then you should be kicking them in the unmentionables right now.
You can help get DZ onto the Splendour In The Grass line-up
The power is in our hands. Let's make Splendour a little bit less sucky.
DZ @ Essential Festival, Q Bar

Warning: phrases like 'holy shit' and 'mind blowing' are used a lot during this review.
Why are the names of all the good bands playing at the Come Together festival printed so small on the flyer?
