Tonight in Sydney: Royal Headache, Border Thieves and OAF's 3rd Birthday Party

Option 1: Royal Headache at Newtown RSL

• the first band (Lowlife) features members of Whores and The Nevada Strange
• super cheap pasta deals at the RSL and cheap beers
• I once wandered into Spectrum and The Warm Feelings were playing and they were fucking amazing. I was a bit drunk but I'm also 95% sure they are actually awesome. Don't act cool and just turn up for Royal Headache, make sure you see this whole show.
• it's FREE entry! But there will also be a donation box to make sure the bands get some money. Don't be a scummy tight ass.
• post-show boozing at Sly Fox (for karaoke) or the Townie (obvs)

Playing times:
8.50 - 9.20 : Lowlife
9.40 - 10.05 : The Warm Feelings
10.15 - 10.55 : Woollen Kits
11.05 - 11.40 : Royal Headache

This Weekend in Sydney: Auraltered State #4, Circle Pit, Whores, Dappled Cities

This is all going to be attacked super quickly, because it's Friday and everyone PoA HQ is mad drunk.

Double Dappled. LOL.

Reverend Kriss Hades has broken his arm and won't be performing at this weekend's Auraltered State #4 (also featuring Royal Headache and Rice Corpse) and has been replaced by FleshFlute. Capacity at the Carriageworks performance space is fairly limited, so make sure you head down early (doors open at 7.30pm).

AND.. finally, thanx to all those legends that have emailed us regarding the details of the Circle Pit, Whores, etc Chippendale house party. We've forwarded on your questions to the organisers. Hopefully you all pass the 'not a psycho' test.

Songs pull out of tonight's Eddy Current show?

According to this dude (our number one source for news now?) Songs have pulled out of tonight's Eddy Current show at the Annandale Hotel and will (apparently) be replaced by local ramshacklers Royal Headache.

No 'official' confirmation on either the Annandale Hotel website or either band's MySpzzz. Also, no word yet on whether or not Songs will be fronting up to for second show tomorrow night.

Update on the relocated Goodgod shows

The two R.I.P Society launch shows that were originally scheduled to be hosted at Goodgod now have new venues locked in:

Friend In Hand, Glebe

Sunday, April 25

Royal Headache are supporting every band that is coming to Australia over the next couple of months

There is a strong chance that if you turn up early to see a show featuring a big-time international band/artist in Jamuary and/or Fuguary then you'll be greeted by the punishingly enjoyable sounds of garage boat shed punks Royal Headache.

This weekend in Sydney: Flip Out Festival

Ordinarily we save our 'what is happening in Sydney' posts for the final two days of the working week, when the soulless 9-5 has beaten you to a pulp and there is nothing left to look forward to other than putting your feet up and/or getting completely dank-faced at an underground rave party.
