It was under the house and included tribal police which I missed because I wasn't there in time, the recording also doesn't exist on permanant dirt this is an amazing blog featuring awesome live recordings from brisbane, it also features some of the same recordings from this post, so go there and download to experience the same show from another angle. Mountain jew turned out to be Joel Stern and Tim Olive (canada, japan?) Hollow earth were replaced with Blank realm who were amazing! Kitchens floor who played a couple of new tracks which are really good. Crabsmasher spazzed out with all their new drummers and shit.

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...

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.
