Impromptulons

Dictophonic series #3

This is a recording of Impromptulons (bris) from the 20th of December 2005

(The following text is taken from a tour diary, written in a notebook after the show)

"8:01pm Via rehearsal rooms,
We play first. In the complete darkness. Although there is air conditioning, the amount of people inside overwhelm it. The room is quite small, managing to fit 30 people to pack it to capacity. We probably played to around 15 and they clapped... which was good. The room was so intimate it was possible to hear every conversation even when there was music.
Wowsers - Also played to a half capacity room that we didn't realise was half capacity until on/ox played. wowsers were awesome, I enjoy them.
On/ox - Before they start people begin to pile in. James says to the middle of the crowd "we're not ready yet" possibly fretting about the inevitable heat surge. The room fills to capacity, people are squashing in and settling into the most uncomfortable positions and there are still people falling out the door. Having entered slightly earlier than Grant, Chloe and Trent I manage to catch from my inside position a glimpse of their sad faces standing out the door. On/ox begins with the lighting of a cigarette which is the only invitation the crowd needs to follow suit. A few moments later we stand in a dense cloud of tobacco listening to pulsating double drum blasting in the thumping heat. Spectacles fog and sweat beads but it's all absolutely worth it, on/ox are incredible!
Impromptulons - Grant and I hear sound so leave the cool air outside for the room. Impromptulons play to a much smaller crowd that sit on the floor among the band who spread themselves out all over the room. Wow, these guys are amazing. In the darkness you can see the band clicking and fiddling and swaying, building from one another. The sound continues to build with clicks, bass, bongs, strums, screeching thing (it was dark) with their collection of esoteric items, peaking and turning in new directions. James says they're the best in Brisbane."

This recording is surprisingly good for a dictophone bootleg.

IMPROMPTULONS

french horns

Dictophonic bootleg series #2
This band was one of my absolute favourite bands. everything they had was brilliant, worked marvelously and inspired massive energy even if you didn't move to the music, which was near impossible due to the fact they would sway around carelessly into the crowd like drunks balancing their schooner glasses through a maze. The band sounded like the spirit of melodramatic excess running as fast as it could, bending and winding and crying its eyes out through menacing blackness. Evil though high energy. Unfortunately this is a dictophoned recording and definately sounds like one. It was taken from the summer winds festival in sydney park 2006

FRENCH HORNS

le paper dolls

Dictophonic Bootleg series #1

Before I owned digital recording devices I used to record everything on a 10c broken down cassette dictophone. I probably have 50 or so tapes scattered around my place, most of them unmarked. I have connected my tape deck to my computer via the microphone input and have decided to make an attempt at sorting through them and putting the best ones online. My dictophone had no limiter or anything fancy like that so a lot of my bootlegs of really great bands that play really loud are really unuseable...
This recording is of one of my favourite bands, Le paper dolls. A brilliant amateur trio from sydney who apparently wrote all their songs on the bus trip to their first show. This recording contains everything that I remember about a le paper dolls show, shouting backing track songs, long awkward silences, mysterious lyrics, utterly captivating drum/guitar songs falling to pieces... somehow they emerge from the wreckage leaving astonishment. Taken from january of 2006 from a show with Crab smasher and Dance creeps... I don't know if I have bootlegs, If I come across them I'll post them.

folk post

The following are taken from an acoustic Artless Armchair show that began in a park in Wyong. Because to a sudden torrential downpour that saturated everyone, the show was moved to a rehearsal room in fay st. (located somewhere hard to find on the central coast)

Acts billed included James Wiley, The (temperamental) pocket, Happy phlegm (didn't play), Maxwell, (feat. Caiitus), Eclectic dreams (didn't play), Lucia Afarenze, Brod Diamond, Polyfox and the union of the most ghosts (unrecorded) and unbilled sets by Blind Jake and Crab smasher.

At the park: the pocket played in 2 person mode followed by maxwell (recording was too brutally wind damaged to post) Brod Diamond speaking her words and then James Wiley, during the last 10 seconds of this recording you can hear an epic whoosh of rain with people screaming and laughing as they ran for cover.

In the rehearsal room: Crab smasher being almost all in attendance played an impromtu acoustic improv set, Blind jake played some solo garage music followed by more words from Brod Diamond, then Lucia Afarenze! wonderful!! and then polyfox's pop.

From October

These Recordings are from October 17th at the Croation club in Wickham. Due to the extreme drunken mess I was on the night I forgot that I had them.
They are of Athol, from Newcastle, Ohana, from thirroulengong and Alps from the world... I have a recording that I suspect may be little a... though unfortunately it ends abruptly after 9 minutes with a harsh buzz... I am not sure what happened, it is very mysterious.

ATHOL

OHANA

ALPS

whoosh!

I woke up face down on a single chair cushion on the cigarette floor among the cigarettes with a dull ache in my tooth and a temporary loss of my whereabouts. I looked at some drawing I was doing on the wall with a marker and silver spray paint the night before, decided i was disappointed in it, got up, staggered around looking for my shoes, found shoes, wrote a nice polite thankyou letter and left...

These recordings are from Yvonne Ruve on a Friday the 5th of December, They are of Tom Selleck who played chilled beats, probably not loud enough, the crowd chatter dominates. Castings, spiritual searchers from sydney and newcastle. Holy balm, Sydney mind winders and Your intestines gutteral screech from sydney/blue mountains/tokyo :)

louies

Louies is a real nice warehouse space in marrickville. It has LOUIES written in enormousness on the wall and a sticky floor. These recordings are taken from Saturday the 15th of November and are of predominately noise/improv groups. I believed at the time to have recorded bootlegs of everything though upon file inspection it seems that I neglected polyfox and xnobbqx. I was disappointed find that xnobbqx wasn't recorded because they played an amazing set...
ah well ...

Castings 2006

Dug up an ancient bootleg of Castings playing at Yvonne Ruve on 18/02/2006. The recording is quite rough and noisy but worth checking out if you're a curious castings nut. I know there is a superior recording of this show gathering dust in Senger's vault, hopefully it will surface one day. Supports were Crab Smasher and Alps.

serial space

I heard they offered to pay the neighbour to stay in a hotel room so that he wouldnt switch off the power during the show. :) I wonder if he took them up on the offer...? I suppose the power remained on.
These are from a Tuesday night at a space called serial space in surry hills (?) It was a real nice place with broken down pianos and an upstairs area with a table.
Acts included the awesome inappropriate tough guy behaviour playing a captivating and melodious set with the addition of steph from the thaw playing another bass guitar. Brassskulls making loud rumblings from Newcastle. Seaworthy played a gorgeous set from the blue skies in his mind, I could Imagine little birds landing on his shoulder. Antony Milton from New Zealand played a varied and wondrous array of sounds and Birchville cat motel played abrasive and brain singeing noise, I think this was his second last show using that name...

sedition

these are taken from a really small space called sedition which I think runs as a barber shop in darlinghurst. Acts included Orodruin, which I regretfully wasn't there in time for, Inappropriate tough guy behaviour (bass and drum duo from Melbourne), Pagan dawn (otherworldly melodic synth) and a collaborative set by Antony Milton and Campbell Kneale (from New Zealand):

moved zine fair show.

A great big carpet was hanging over the front door to the lass o'gowrie to somehow block the sound of a mid afternoon show originally intended for the the t.i.n.a. zine fair. i don't know effective this is, but it couldn't of hurt. Due to a damp park and the threat of rain it was moved.
In contrast to the stress and violence of the night before the day was very relaxing and enjoyable. I enjoyed everything and regretfully neglected to bootleg 'songs'
the line up included brassskulls, the alzheimer blanks, the bowles, dead farmers, songs and castings:

this is not part

Due to lazyness I haven't been able to manage updating this in quite some time and as a result have something like 40 bootleg recordings laying around. I plan to gradually upload them over time...

The following are some taken from the this is not part of the tina festival held at the hamilton station hotel in Newcastle.

A bootleg doesn't exist for everything listed in the lineup for various reasons. The night became increasingly tense and erupted with fist fights and urine schooners. A number of bands were unable to play due to excessive stress on time and broken p.a. equipment... or having people in the band under the age of 18. There isn't a bootleg though I want to mention that McClane played an absolutely legendary set plugged into the side of some house up the street.

These are from a sunday afternoon-night at the annandale hotel in sydney, I got a bootleg of Inappropriate tough guy behaviour, 2 guys, bass and drums; fucking amazing. Defektro, My hearing is still shot from witnessing this. One guy with a trestle table of pedals and gadgets, some of which exploded with fire; harshing the absolute fuck out of them. Crux, punks from Sydney and Realized, punks from Japan.

The following recordings are taken from Kurt's place in Hamilton, a space over the road from the Hamilton station hotel. This poorly attended all noise lineup included from melbourne; aktion unit and default jamerson. They played right after one another so the recordings join together. I amplified the default jamerson set as it was quite a bit softer than aktion unit. From newcastle; brassskulls, crab smasher and drillbit. Crab smasher played their first show with new bass player and drummer debuting the 'new style'

melbourne bootlegging

The following are from a friday night in melbourne at a place called forepaw. Forepaw is a small art gallery in melbourne somewhere. These bootlegs are from a more well attended than I'm used to noise show that included a sludging gloomy duo called druid, a rattling sheet of fence metal with broken dancing shards of glass skittering everywhere one piece called oranj punjabi, the bent to death songs of lakes and newcastle trio brassskulls.

The throbbing psychedelia of aktion unit, the absolutely punishing miasma of awesome absoluten calfeutrail and brassskulls again. This show was bumped from glitch bar.

chooch-a-bahn

Erskineville again. On saturday night there was a circle performance thing organised by chooch-a-bahn people. Acts included matthew p hopkins with jonathon hochman, the bed wettin’ bad boys, rotted crow and alps of the world, taste of teeth arrived later and joined rotted crow to become rotted teeth or taste of crow.
The show went around in a circle, each act performing a 'song' and stopping for the next in the circle, kinda like later with jools holland without introductions. It all worked out remarkably well until toward the end where it went a bit haywire.
The show was recorded from beginning to end, though the files have been broken into parts for ease of downloading, sorry if the cuts are wrong, toward the end it sort of all flowed into each other. Ideally if you'd like an idea of how the show flowed, download them all.

crab smasher

Newcastle noise duo grew beards and played live at the loft youth venue in Newcastle. Nick French gets the first compliment for his great jumper that no-one appreciates.

tac/tic

A raining thursday night in Erskineville. Inside a great big theatre space with huge colourful letters on wheels spelling out GUN HOE, due to noise complaining there wasn't a collaborative set at the end.
all of these are essentially noise bands, I could attempt to describe the noise with intelligent musing, whhoooosh! crrrrkk, drrRR, raarwwr, weeeoooee, shhhhhh, rr, but thats what you get. Click the links to download mp3 files.

rotted crow

This recording is from an impromptu set at the Hamilton station hotel (7-5-08) to replace daighlia from Malaysia who were turned away at the airport. Rotted crow are old grey men (50-60) possibly into witchcraft. They tend to be brutally loud and percussive, using old railway spikes, shards of jagged tin, rusted pipes and dilapidated bicycles.

Orodruin

Live at the Croation club in Wickham (Newcastle). There is a cheap ($2) show on every Thursday night there called Spring break, featuring interesting things.
Orodruin is doom/black/noise, one guy with a stonehenge of practice amps behind him. Blistering harsh evil.
not many people were there. It was raining.

where?house

A wild party was taking place at the place next door, so it would seem that many of people crammed in the halls mistook the show for another element of their party.
