megastick fanfare
Musing's Heartthrob
Sweet harmonies, maybe a touch of afro-pop, Paul Simon, maybe even a bit of those Vampire Weekend fellas who were the biggest band EVER for about 2 weeks back in 2008. Eh, either way... this song kicks ass. Voices everywhere! Harmonies? Fuck 'em. Chaos! Epic build-up! Jungle chanting!
To celebrate this new song AND their continual ascension from 'some band' to 'that kickass band' the group will be playing some shows around town over the next few weeks...
Wednesday, February 18: Spectrum w/ The Vignettes, The Inheritors and Hancock Basement
Friday, February 20: Hopetoun Hotel, Sydney w/ Leader Cheetah and The Middle East
Friday, March 13: MUM @ World Bar, Sydney

megastick fanfare - brain tooth
For some time now Sydney's megastick fanfare have been torn between their pop catchiness and their jam session AnCo-ish wackiness. Thankfully, if this new song is an accurate guide, they have decided to plant the stick (pun intended) smack bang in the middle.
2ser celebrate their 30th birthday with a month long bender
On October 1st iconic community radio station, Sydney's 2ser, turns 30 years old. To celebrate the commencement of their 'dirty thirties' the station will be going on a month of partying/binge-ing with a whole bunch of their friends (who just so happen to be in kickass local and international bands) coming along for the ride. Forget about settling down, mortgaging 'up' and watching the biological clock explode - it's time to smash up the party zone and let the inner-cougar/GILF out.
megastick fanfare - June Stranglets (Seekae Remix)
This isn't really what you would call a 'normal' remix, but rather a completely new song, built from the source composition's dismembered elements. The Seekae lads have completely sliced, diced and 'had their way' with every single inch of the original megastick version, converting it from a lovely lo-fi pop jam into a strange 8-bit orgy of glitch-driven pleasure. It's Game Boy (original) bonus level keypad slamming, mixed with some great violent synths and topped off with some randomly sprinkled vocal snippets.
The Witching Hour is upon us
There is a 98% chance that at some point tonight you will be staggering around Oxford St like a munted c-bomb.

Gig Review: Leader Cheetah + The Middle East + megastick fanfare + SPOD + Cuthbert and the Night Walkers @ Hopetoun Hotel/World Bar - 20/02/2009
Friday night (umm... about 2 weeks ago now) was hyped up (by us) as pretty much the greatest night of Sydney music EVER.
Behold, the most splendid Friday night of live music Sydney has ever offered up
Spunk Single's Club launch, Naked On The Vague fundraiser and SPOD playing at World Bar. Whoa.
megastick fanfare
A 'totally fresh' band outta Sydney who create a unique brand of up-beat harmonic love rock. And don't like capital letters.
Cuthbert and the Night Walkers are gonna tour the shit outta the East Coast
And by 'tour the shit outta' we mean 'play five shows in four states'.Recently
Playing times for Dinosaur Jr tonight
Sydney scamps, Bed Wettin' Bad Boys, have been added as the last minute opening act. Triple treats!

Jonny Yes Yes

batheinmilk
yo, i will do my best to stall, but everyone has a half hour so methinks it'll be running in a timely fashion. also, updates:
- spod is on at 12.30 i do believe, so less running, more strolling to be there in time
- spunk launch is well on track to sell out if it hasn't already. pre-buy tix or get there early.
over + out.
Jonny Yes Yes
ah .. thanks for the heads up
