Croat. Something like that

These recordings are taken from the Croation Club in Wickham, Newcastle. Umm, it has two bowling greens out the front and people play bowls there.. or bocce. There is a pizza oven and many hens running around.

The show included Inappropriate Tough Guy Behaviour from Melbourne, Athol from Newcastle, and Brassskulls.

INAPPROPRIATE TOUGH GUY BEHAVIOUR (see below)

ATHOL (look beneath)

BRASSSKULLS (rascals)

thats all.

some melbourne wanderings

These recordings were taken from brassskulls' tour of melbourne in early February, it was a full on tour of noise aside from ITGB who have songs in their noise.
The first show was held at the Pony in Melbourne city somewhere, little something st. you walk upstairs to a sticky red slimy skeleton pony room and get free drink tickets, bands included:

MICROVOM (recording has gone missing, hopefully i can find it)

MARCO FUSINATO (brain stabbing, guitar snapping)

ABSOLUTEN CALFEUTRAIL (the expanding man or terror)

CRYSALIS (sheet metal rattling anger)

BRASSSKULLS (waikiki/the waifs)

The second show was on that unbelievably hot saturday, It was like walking through the oven breath of hell. The show was held in a nice neat little warehouse space called Gulag projects and was fortunately air conditioned, bands included:

SCREWTAPE (apocalype in slow motion)

EBOLA DISCO (street thugs)

ABSOLUTEN CALFEUTRAIL vs. CRYSALIS (bff)

BRASSSKULLS (the eagles/chicago)

The third show was an instore at round and round records which is a really sweet record shop... Bands included:

INAPPROPRIATE TOUGH GUY BEHAVIOUR (furious motion)

BRASSSKULLS (clean cut dirt wanderers)

I also got some bootlegs from a generator show in King edward park, which included polyfox (unrecorded) oranj punjabi and pure being from queensland.

ORANJ PUNJABI (bliss and saucers)

PURE BEING (colourful tent, colourful mexico)

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:

all noise newcastle

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.

brassskulls

These next ones are from a saturday night house show at mark skeltons house in Thornbury? They include bum creek doing a mind bender of a play called snail man, i think someone filmed it also... this file is audio so you will have to imagine rainbow demon phoenixs rising from the complete madness of it all. The throbbing psychedelia of aktion unit, the absolutely punishing miasma of awesome absoluten calfeutrail and brassskulls again. This show was bumped from glitch bar.

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.

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.
