new years eve

2011-01-03T15:08:00.000-08:00

Hi 2011.

If you were thinking that a good way to start off the new year would be by downloading a bunch of scuzzy house show noise then you might also be thinking that you're lucky to have found yourself here.

Recorded from the bookshelf of the Hearn Organ room on the last day of 2010:

Alps - coming from underneath an undulating bass ocean.

the Mermaids - the idiots that were also morons.

[the] alzheimer blanks - returning from the forest.

Starting to blog again / vox cyclops show

2010-12-06T18:43:00.000-08:00

Thought I might start doing the blog again. I suppose it's boring reading the details on why a blog isn't getting updated, or in this case didn't get updated for.... well looking back it looks like the last one I personally did was in May 2009. God knows I've skimmed past these kinds of explanations when blog reading, so I'll sum it up in a few words... I haven't really felt like it...
Also If I can muster up the will I will post some of the stuff I have recorded over the last year or so, probably not in nice neat order though... unfortunately I didn't bother to label the recordings and upon re listening to some of them I have found myself unable to identify them.

The following links will lead to live recordings from a show held out the back of vox cyclops in Newcastle,

CISTERN CORRUPT - "It was obvious to me even then that the lama who was now my guide was indeed a good man. The heat was terrible. swaths of mouldy old clothes , swarms of bewildered moths, and hot butter."

NONE MUSIC - "But there were catches: before I had to obey the frightening number of 32 rules of priestly conduct. As a lama, to my horror and dismay , I found the total was 253."

PREHISTORIC FUCKIN' MORON(S) - "The flowing robes wrapped around my stilted legs, moths flapped around as well, for the garments had been stored, and I sneezed and sneezed and sneezed, and added to my further discomfort by spilling hot butter from the lamps over my shaven and suffering pate."

LAKES - "Not long after this I think It may of been 5 or 6 months, there was a sudden terrific gale of wind, with flying clouds of dust and grit. I was on the roof of a storehouse being instructed in how to lay sheet gold to make the roof waterproof."

These recordings are slightly wind damaged in areas, but otherwise sound great, apologies for missing the start of none music. Click the links to download mp3 recordings.

Crab Smasher - Forever!

2009-09-20T23:19:00.001-07:00

There hasn't been much activity here at Sky Hut so it's pretty exciting to be able to offer you a new Crab Smasher album/download to make up for it.

FOREVER! Consists of seven tracks culled from live sets recorded at the Winter Tragic festival in The Blue Mountains, and an intimate gig in the concrete prison exercise yard of the Lock Up in Newcastle. For these shows, the lineup was slimmed down to the lite-trio of Nicholas French, Grant Hunter, and Marnie Vaughn, as the other dudes were either too drunk or too busy playing Halo on xbox 360.
Like last year's smash hit The Picky Eater, this album should hopefully tide you over while you continue to wait for the next Crab Smasher studio album, which will be out one day, but probably not anytime soon.
Featuring a stunning cover photograph by Nicholas Pitt, The download contains all seven tracks as well as a handy PDF so you can print out a cover and make your own CD if you like, or even make hundreds of them for every person you've ever met in your entire life. As with all sky hut releases, please feel free to pass this around, repost it on your own blog, whatever. Also we'd love to know if you think it's not very good.

TRACKS
1. Big Beautiful Women
2. Death train
3. Fighting For Her Attention
4. Mating In Captivity
5. Wool Flies

~{>>>ROYAL HEADACHE<<<}~

2009-05-24T23:53:00.000-07:00

Repressed records is a really good record shop in Newtown. I would recommend going to it :)
This is a recording of hot dude band Royal Headache taken from an instore gig around March. Unfortunately I missed Street Chant and neglected to record Dead Farmers (sorry! I keep stuffing my gadget). This recording has the advantage of sounding nicer than the one taken from Dirty Shirlows downloadable from below.

ROYAL HEADACHE

dirty shirlows

2009-05-22T17:19:00.000-07:00

These are from a warehouse show in Marrickville, Dirty shirlows is big and sheddish, and as a result the recordings sound like shed grit. Bands included Crux, Do Not Resuscitate (this recording is missing the start due to not pressing record), Royal Headache and Voting With Bricks.

CRUX (striding back into town like horsemen)

DO NOT RESUSCITATE (unless they're really a nice person or animal)

ROYAL HEADACHE (the royalest)

VOTING WITH BRICKS (but really, vote with paper and pen)

HOUSE SHOW

2009-05-22T02:48:00.000-07:00

These recordings are taken from a house show at Lukes place on the 14th of February. It was Kitten Party, Brutal Hate Mosh, Grant Hunter, Block and Anal Cum Wolf. It was a while ago but I remember the room being stacked with stereo equipment, ashtrays and people looking in from the kitchen.

KITTEN PARTY (the gunrunner)

BRUTAL HATE MOSH (shadows run black)

GRANT HUNTER (sizzle beach U.S.A.)

BLOCK (field of dreams)

ANAL CUM WOLF (dances with wolves)

VIEW FACTORY

2009-05-22T00:48:00.000-07:00

This show took place at the View factory in Newcastle, It included Alps of Newcastle south Whales, woyfox and the union of the central coast and popolice (melbourne)(couldn't incorporate) Alps is reverby pop music from the deep, polyfox is unrecorded and popolice is nz guitar pop jelly bean. Popolice would have to be my hands down favourite thing and would recommend it viciously down the throat of anyone who likes tuneful vibrations.

ALPS OF NEW SOUTH WHALES

POPOLICE

There is also about an hours worth of field recording taken from the 'room project' which was a room with a warped floor made from different lengths of wood block. The recording is of people walking and running and jumping all over the crooked floor before the above show took place...If anyone is interested.

These bootlegs are from the crab smasher/scissor lock tour of melbourne: Recording faults I recall: There is no crabsmasher recording from the old bar due to communication error:), the aktion unit recording from the glitch bar is missing the first half due to mechanical ignorance and the last half of the crabsmasher/scissor lock collab is missing due to battery failure. enjoy!

EBOLA DISCO (street thugs)

ABSOLUTEN CALFEUTRAIL vs. CRYSALIS (bff)

These are taken from a show at the hamilton station hotel on the 16th of the 1st 2009, bands included corporate smack, toecutta, crab smasher, fecal puppet scum, butchers harem and grannyfist. It was a night filled with masks, horror, gore, grind, rap and noise.
I was a little bit hazy on who was who. I bootlegged crab smasher, grannyfist and I think fecal puppet scum, all of whom were far out in their own way.

I'll upload the bootleg when I figure it out. Crab smasher, playing in Sydney for the first time in years, they are currently a 5 piece improv rock group. Eugene Chadbourne from the USA, Eugene played many varied styles on guitar, banjo and electric rake :) and Suzanne Grae and the Katies from, a clothing store influenced band from Melbourne who had dancers and a big stuffed snake thing?

Fortunately I bumped into people who knew about the venue change so I followed them to the venue. I missed seeing jonothan hochman and matthew hopkins, arrived just in time to watch people clap. I did see whores (twang garage) slug guts (gravel sleaze) tully arnot (sex poems) kirin j callinan (epic beauty) and straight arrows (ultimate fun)

2009-01-02T18:53:00.000-08:00

These are recordings from last nights show at yvonne ruve (where?house), at which [the] alzheimer blanks did not play. Instead an impromptu collaborative set by the improvisin' prehistoric fuckin' moron. This provided an interesting beginning, capturing the attention of the crowd by slowly becoming into what it became which was very becoming. Following pfm was dead farmers which could be described as scuzzy good times music. Afterward slug guts from brisbane, a wild staggerin' squalling rock quartet and finally naked on the vague a psychin' dredging duo from sydney that exude unavoidable ill fortune.

Impromptulons

2008-12-29T23:42:00.000-08:00

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

2008-12-26T19:36:00.000-08:00

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

2008-12-26T19:18:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

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.

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 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...

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.

Milton House Show

2008-10-22T00:18:00.000-07:00

These are from from a house show held in milton queensland, during crab smashers quick tour of brisbane. 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

2008-10-14T16:05:00.000-07:00

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

2008-10-10T18:15:00.000-07:00

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.

2008-10-09T22:08:00.000-07:00

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:

2008-10-09T17:45:00.000-07:00

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'

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

2008-06-22T19:46:00.000-07:00

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.

2008-06-13T19:56:00.000-07:00

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.

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.
