We Empty Rooms/Bro Fidelity labels

We Empty Rooms is a small label and distro run by Jem Maloney of Fire Witch/Innapropriate Tough Guy Behaviour/Elise & Jem and he's probably the one making all that noise in the warehouse down the street. He's a great guy and he's got great taste in music. The guy needs his own radio show really.

Bro Fidelity is a smaller label run by Ben Wrecker, a man i haven't met though feel i know through his posts on Mess+Noise.com. He's the drummer for Hotel Wrecking City Traders and has often found himself being used as a hired gun for some big touring bands on the side. Bro Fidelity has been a home for the HWCT records but recently they've released the new Fire Witch cd, "Liars".

I opened the package today i received with the new HWCT 7" and the Fire Witch CD. Haven't had a chance to listen but wanted to give a shout out to 2 of Melbournes heavier stoner bands that don't suck. The Fire Witch CD is 2 tracks with a hand screen printed cover done by Jace who spends time riffing in Fangs Of... The CD is limited to 500 (I got #65) and features tracks recorded as far back as 2005 before they went on hiatus. I didn't have time to give it a spin but i'm really looking forward to hitting the repeat function on my cd player when i get home.

Hotel Wrecking City Traders are a band i must little knowledge of. I have seen them a few times and enjoyed their volume and intensity. I have a few things to do this year- one thing is to see HWCT more. This 7" will help secure my interest further i'm guessing. As i'm trying to pass information on about Bro Fidelity and these 2 releases i'm going to re-direct you to Mainframe friend and follower, Danger Coolidge's site over at Unbelievably Bad for an interview he did with Bro Fidelity recently. Of course, while you're over there make sure to flick through to his interview with Jem for W.E.R's as well.

Witch Hats Interview

Put your shorts on, we're going to Sydney!

So coming up this weekend there's going to be a massive amount of Melbourne people heading up to Sydney for Flip Out and it's going to be a riot. If you're holding your ticket right now and waiting the days as i am, you won't be let down. If you're too scared to look at your bank account, get a ticket and see some of Australia's best aswell as a few U.S offerings. I'm particularly excited about seeing The Ooga Boogas, James Arthur's Manhunt and Slug Guts. Though it's fair to say The U.V Race and The Stabs are my 2 favourite bands, period.



If you're not going to be sipping tropicali drinks in Sydney with me and Bugsy, then perhaps you could do your homework for good shows on this weekend. It'll be quiet at The Tote and The Birmy i predict. By the way, if you don't have a copy of the new Unbelievably Bad, it's $7 and you can pick it up at Missing Link or Polyester.
