Build Ruins Album Launch

6 June 2011 by , No Comments

We are proud to announce the imminent release and launch of our third album, Build Ruins, recorded back in 2009 with Japanese artist Ryota Yamamoto on electronics and Joe Cummins on trumpet. The album was recorded and mixed by Michelle Barry, mastered by William Bowden, and is being released by New Weird Australia’s New Editions label.  The album and poster artwork was created by Heath Killen, New Weird Australia’s resident designer and looks great.   Without a doubt this is our best album to date, both sonically and visually, thanks so much to everyone who’s helped to make it so.

Anyway come help us celebrate at FBI Social, Level 2, Kings Cross Hotel, 248 William Street, Kings Cross, Thursday 16th June, 8pm.  $10.

Supporting will be Domeyko/Gonzalez, Jusgo Mosh and Robot House with visuals supplied once again by RedCell.  It’s also being simulcast on FBI Radio from 9pm, thanks FBI!

What the hell happened to October?

1 November 2010 by , No Comments

Okay loads of news to catch up on….

We’ve played two gigs since my last post. Hopefully you’ve all been keeping up to date via twitter, myspace and facebook. If not – my apologies. We supported the excellent Duchesses at the Excelsior Hotel on the 21st October as part of Bird’s Robe Collective’s Menagerie 2010. Check them out – they a great blend of Mogwai, Sonic Youth, Interpol and even a bit of The Church in there. Joining us on stage for that gig was Finn Ryan on drums who did an awesome job.

On Saturday 30th October we played as part of Electric Brain, a group show consisting of some 15 print, ink, photo and paint artists. We played for the very first time with improvised visuals, provided by Red Cell, projected on a massive translucent screen in front of us – way cool. Video of the show to come…
