winter exchange.

thriller slash moth.

i can't be bothered writing a description about the two nights.
thriller was fun - i just enjoy screamo punk sooo much..



moth, featuring lost valentinos and ghostwood was amazing.

moth presents the greatest of the greats.

just back from a convincing european tour, lost valentinos are ready for a run around australia on their conquistadisco tour. lost valentinos will be heralding the arrival of their new single thief, which comes on the eve of the unearthing of their debut album cities of gold.

produced by the hugely sought after producer ewan pearson, the album cities of gold becomes legal on 09.09.09. born from a journey that took in two years and the cities sydney, berlin and london, it remains a brilliant, fresh, cohesive body of work that more than accounts for the attention and acclaim this band has attracted since birth.



on a crisp winters morning in 2006 the mystical spirit that is ghostwood was born. in a high school rec room somewhere in sydney, the vision of 3 minds met at point where time stood still and they were afforded a moment of sublime transcendental clarity and their future was decided upon. ghostwood, a melancholic trip of a guitar band have returned from the uk having played shows with the likes of klaxons, howling bells and van she.


with special guests:

charlie, why!

do people even read this?

wow. it's actually been over a month since my last post.
a lot has happened since june. some amazing gigs. such as the one i last posted about, 'i used to skate once'. the zoo was packed full of skaters and boards that had been decorated by artists all over the world. accompanied by some amazing local acts such as stemford hiss and kirin. j. callinan. secret birds performed, which consist of roughly four drummers, four guitarists, three singers, with a bit of tamborine, synth and xylophone dropped in here and there.
here are a few photos from the night, taken megan cullen.


in other news, some important events occurred, such as my eighteenth.
"fucking finally", as stated by kelsey at her text message at exactly one second past midnight to wish me a happy one.
for the night we journeyed over to fairweather warehouse to see a mass of prep teenagers in mini skirts and high heels. note: it's a warehouse in the middle of newstead.
last dinosaurs, the cairos and newcomers - the parties of interzone performed, and what was sure to be a good night ended in brawls, people being thrown into braziers, people being carried out by paramedis, and last but not least, it being called off early due to the cops, therefore not allowing comic sans to perform. all in all, a fun night, to what didn't seem like a birthday considering i've had a fake id for two years now. way to ruin it.



heads up for some more gigs coming soon.
this tuesday night at rics bar, the parties of interzone supporting the goldentones.
come before 9pm and get $4 BEER LAO! (the only reason i go early)


then for the weekend, my good friend samwise is celebrating his birthday by playing a gig.
be sure to make it to the troubadour on friday night for last dinosaurs, the parties of interzone and teleprompter. for more info head to the facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=96702102700

then for a sweet afterparty, yuksek is playing at the empire hotel. supporting acts include dz, and charlie why!: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=116402237952
