WOOLY BULLY - new record store in Melbourne
NEW! RECORD STORE OPENING IN NORTH MELBOURNE:
Wooly Bully is opening for business on July 1st, and to celebrate we're having
Super Wild Horses play in-store at 6pm.
We're stocking a carefully chosen range of records - LP and 7" - covering garage, punk and weird stuff as well as some country, pop and classic curve balls. There's some local cassette tape action too. NO CDs!
Our comics include vintage freak-out kooks, classic and contemporary undergrounds, and mostly in single issue format... one-shots and series. We've got some TPBs and beautiful graphic novels and books and the odd magazine too.
From 9am you can come in for Supreme coffee (a blend of Rainforest Alliance beans), amazing organic and locally-sourced produce both sweet and savoury (to give you an idea of what to expect, the incredible Emma is curing salmon in gin as we speak!), other hot drinkable things and organic juices and fizz.
If you like stuff you're going to love Wooly Bully.

Death By Audio/Don Pedro's 16.09
Death By Audio show was great, good sets all round. This was the first show for Moving Stills who have members of Busy Signals. Super tight. I actually filmed a song or 2 for each band but this internet will take days to upload those right now. Met some cool people at this show, good to see the Aussies too. UV Marky and Greg Bailey met Keanu Reeves earlier after watching Point Break. I think i saw Bruce Willis but can't confirm.

DON PEDRO's
My buddy Jarrad and I left the Death By Audio show late and didn't know the address of Don Pedro's, we walked around Williamsburg asking and all we got was "No." and "No, but do you wanna buy some blow?" By the time we got there The Outdoorsmen had just finished which sucks. Not sure if any others had played earlier. Really liked this bar, real dive but in a good way.

I'm alone in the danger zone...
Pissing On The Mainframe, live from New York.
So i just got here after 25 or something hours of flying and it feels good to be away from two of the biggest women in this country elbowing me from seats 15 D and F. The flight from LAX to JFK had Friends on repeat and i believe 15 F enjoys Ross the most.
I was so impressed with the New Wave radio station on the flights- Hungry Like A Wolf followed with Psycho Killer, Uncontrollable Urge, Kids Of America and Love Shack. Keep the party goin' United Airlines! Ye-aah!
I got shit all to report so far, but if you happen to be in this crazy city Wednesday the 15th- i suggest you get in touch and take me to this killer show at The Standard Hotel. Australian Invasion!

Maggot Fest 2010!
Tim "The Maggot" "Dundee" Scott's been smashin' it in the past year or so since he came back from Japan. Writing for Mess & Noise, Three Thousand and punk press Stained Sheets he's been talking up the good and cutting down the fat. Good dude.
So Tim's put together a killer line up with some of my favourite local and interstate bandz. Can't wait for The Mammaries, Australia's only Mummies tribute band- i assume. I cannot express how pumped i am for Peewee back in Melbourne either. What a party, "Carbonas but a bit less 'dude' sounding". I'd say i'm a strong member of the Bloody Hammer cheersquad too, what a band. If you don't go to this i don't know what to say. This is going to be 'Flip Out Good'.

OFF THE HIP RECORDS, Instore 2nite!
Off The Hip is a great record store.
There's always something good playing and there's always new stock coming in. In the past year or so i've spent a fair bit of time sitting in the store drinking beer and hassling my buddy Jack Petty while he's resting his hangover. If you see this post before 7pm today you should totally go to Off The Hip which is on Havistock Lane - near Queen St and Flinders Lane. They usually have a bunch of beer but you can bring your own too.
Tonight @ OTH:
Lost Ones 7:30
Midnight Woolf 8:15
Los Chicos (Spain) 9:00
If you see a handsome young man with a brimming moustache tell him he is a cunt.

Stained Sheets 3.2 - Melbourne, Victoria
Stained Sheets releases are few but welcomed like finding that $10 note in your jacket you can't explain. Previous issues have all lead to further probing of contained subjects which include the likes of Venom P. Stinger, The Bitters, Modern Convenience, Kurt Vile, The Flecks etc.
This issue is #4 and extended to 32 pages (still free) featuring interviews with 1950's Melbourne R'n'R party band The Blue Bops by Scott Campbell, NZ-now-Sydney jangle-pop Garbage & The Flowers by Cooper Bowman, Manic New Jersey Brat punk Home Blitz, frantic Tampa Bay noise punk Neon Blud, daydream beached out Sonny & The Sunsets all by Tim Scott as well as 4 or 5 others worth a look-in. Issue 4 also has discussion on vintage Adelaide 77' fanzine, Street Fever and finishes with 2 pages of paragraph-long reviews from favourites of mine including: Rhys Davies, Leon O'Regan and Dan Stewart.

SUPER WILD HORSES - Fifteen LP launch
Super Wild Horses released their debut LP on friday, it's called 'Fifteen'. They've made up 300 copies with green, pink or black screen printed covers and it's been pressed on white vinyl. I got the green one. Been waiting for this album for AGES. Just like their first EP, it was recorded by monsieur Mikey Young of Eddy Currrent Suppression Ring. SWH are currently doing album launch shows 'round AUS and i've heard good reports, of course! The band has the LP coming out on Hozac in the States and it's out on Aarght! Records in Australia. Get it now or cry later.
You can read a recent interview with them, the questions aren't so great but the answers are good.
Super Wild Horses, Total Control, Boomgates & School Of Radiant Living play the Swanston Room at Victoria Hotel, Little Collins St on Saturday July 31st. Doors open 7.30pm. $12 at the door.

Hard-Ons tonight at the East Brunswick Club
The Hard-Ons new album is a fierce beast of a record, it's 40 minutes and 19 tracks of their usual assortment of pop, surf, death metal and punk. Hard-Ons new album is called 'Alfalfa Males Conform Or Die Once Summer Is Done' and it's been out for a month almost i believe. I hadn't seen it at Missing Link so it kind of slipped my mind. I just saw their interview in Beat plugging tonights show, it's $15 and they're being supported by Fangs Of A TV Evangelist and Useless Children.
I found a download of the album if you're keen to hear it.
