Hey freaks Brisbane's 6 Ft. Hick are playing again tonight after last nights Spooky Fest which was awesome- lots of BBQ! I took lots of photos- ill update with those when this hangover dies down.
Anyway, tonight! The Jacknives and 6 Ft. Hick and then i'm dj'ing till Joel kicks me out of his bar. Theres going to be heaps of free bbq going around so get in early and get yourself a snag.
I think it's $6 which covers dinner, good tunes and watching the Corbett brothers annhilate again.

If only every weekend was as good...
Well that was one of the best weekends i've had.
Twerps and Beaches at Abbruzzo Club on Friday.
- I really enjoyed the show being somewhere else than the usual venue thing. I got in just at Beaches were starting- one of my favourite Melb bands but i always miss their shows. It was nice to see such a good turnout for the show actually. The Twerps were great, everyone was into it. I had to run just as they finished. Love the 7!
U.V Race, Royal Headache, Deaf Wish and Breaker Morant at Ding Dong on Saturday.
- I'd been thinking about this show for ages, it was a dream line up for me. I got to the show at like 8:01 to avoid missing Breaker- i thought they were a good opening to the night. I hadn't seen them in a long while and they sounded just as good but totally different than i remembered. During Deaf Wish i was buying multiple jugs before 10:00 as they shot up from $10 to more than i could afford. They did a good set, very loud and heavy.
Royals are so good- if you don't know it yet you'll be kicking yourself when you finally figure it out. UV's did an amazing set, the whole crowd went mental- i have some nice bruised knee to show for it. I love the U.V shirt i got as well, Georgia did a bunch of different designs on them.
Sunday.
I spent tonight over in Northcote at Willow Bar as Jack P invited me to play some records and drink beer. It was a great way to end the weekend. Hope you had a good'n too.
I took the weekend off taking my camera out to just drink and party so if i find some good photos i'll throw up a link. Check the U.V LP article on Mess+Noise for punter reviews.

Nobunny interview!!!!
Jimi and Zac wrote up some questions for Nobunny together, enjoy!
What were you for halloween?
LUX INTERIOR
I heard you started out as an elvis impersonator, did you ever go to any conventions or anything like that and how were you received by the elvis-loving community?
I've been to many E conventions. Elvis lovers don't care for much if it ain't the king, nawmean.
A lot of your artwork is a reference to other bands, any particular reason why?
I have no thoughts of my own.
Whats the best/most surprising description of your music you have heard?
"music that is stripped of all redeeming features, just a bunch of fuck ups doing the shittiest thing they can think of"
Do you have fans that have sent you really weird stuff? if so, like what?
I've had multiple dead rabbits thrown at me.
Does it surprise you that parents bring small children to your shows and how do you feel about it?
Nothing surprises me, it's 2009. Kids, dogs, grannies.... all is welcome.
I saw the "alleged worst show of 2008" video, has there been a worst of 2009 show?
You have no idea
But seriously, what's with the mask?
Usually some sweat n stink.
What is Christmas like in the Nobunny home?
homeless
Do you have any plans for the weekend?
stay alive
THANK YOU NOBUNNY!!!!!
AUSTRALIA LOVES YOU!!!!!

Ooga Boogas
The Ooga Boogas will be playing their last show for the year this thursday(5th Nov) at The Tote. They've just recorded a new 7 inch and it looks like they're taking a break(i imagine because Mikey has a big summer coming up with E.C.S.R shows).
Bleach will be coming on for their first ever show at 7:50 so if you want to see them come down early. Followed by Ditchling (Brendan Black of the Stabs) Chrome Dome, Pets with Pets and the Oogas.
Ooga's L-R- Mikey, Per, Rigid & Stacky.

LiveFastDie
So for those that are unaware, the Pissing On The Mainframe name comes from my favourite LiveFastDie song "Pissing On The Mainframe". I found out about them after my old housemate was watching videos on Vice's video site VBS.TV. I found a few cool bands through it but LFD reigns supreme on that shit. Live Fast Die is dead now, i wish they weren't. Anyway here's a link to the video that inspired the name! Enjoy!!!
