Rowland S Howard trailer and The Golden Age Of Bloodshed


RSH Trailer from Ghost Pictures Pty Ltd on Vimeo.



Rowland S. Howard - 'Golden Age Of Bloodshed' from Ghost Pictures Pty Ltd on Vimeo.

This footage is from Rowland's last show at the Prince Of Wales on October 29th, 2009. It was the launch of his last album "Pop Crimes". I was smart enough to get a ticket for this and Rowland and band were flawless despite his ill health. This was filmed with 5 camera's around the venue so i'm hoping it will make for a live dvd in the near future. On the few times i saw Rowland he would always make me laugh with his incredibly dry sense of humour. I wish i'd had the chance to see more of him.

Dead Farmers 7"
Carbonas - Frothing At The Mouth 7"
Lamps/Haunted George - Split 7"


It's BACK!  After hundreds of people kicked down the doors of Yah Yah's in February to snap up bargains and rarities, the CRATE DIGGER RECORD FAIR is returning to allow vinyl junkies to get their fix on Sunday 11th April at 2pm. We've got all the same stallholders as last night plus a bunch of newies, with stalls over three rooms (so there's more space and more stalls too). So get down early to get the hot records before anyone else, then stick around for a few drinks and catch Spencer P Jones & The Escape Committee at 6pm as they rock the house and help y'all settle in for the night. Entry is $2 before 5pm and free thereafter. See youse there.

Circle Pit: The Exhibition

I have never seen this band but i'm really curious about them all of a sudden.

Circle Pit: The Exhibition - Friday April 9th at: 
Level 2, The Royal Arcade
314 Little Collins St
Facebook Event


I don't know what to expect with this show of theirs really but i heard Circle Pit will be playing at some point.

It goes from 6-8pm

Here's some words on it,

"Circle Pit is the creative relationship between Angela Bermuda and Jack Mannix. This relationship takes on many creative forms: music, film, painting, song, conversation - the product of an intense and deep partnership that goes beyond friendship.
Stadium glory, rock and roll personalities, the journey from the gutter to the stars and back again are the main inspirations for the second solo exhibition by Circle Pit in Melbourne.



Fueled by the personal mythology they seek to create, Jack and Angie have collected artifacts, artworks, conversations, memorabilia, mail, records, film and more to construct a kind of universe all their own, and in doing so adding to the ever-changing, ongoing legacy that is Circle Pit."

Anthony Lister - You Call That A Back Rub?

Anthony Lister has a new show on at:
Metro Gallery
1214 High St, Armadale.

It's been open for about 2 weeks but the opening is on Wednesday the 7th at 6pm.

The last Lister show resulted in my old house mate getting super loose and spent the night in the drunk tank.
