Given it’s the middle of the month, is it still ok to wish everyone a Happy New Year? Well, Happy New Year anyway. New Year, new you (maybe). Same old Collapse Board (probably). We hope to be doing more of the same that we’ve been doing for almost the last eight and a half years. […]

In the 80s, in the UK, we’d have slapped a Warning Notice on this music and called it ‘grebo’ or ‘shambling’ or something equally as asinine. In America, it’d have been called AmRep..

This is a shameless plug for something I’ve had a small part in putting together over the last six months. One of my favourite contemporary American bands Eat Skull are going to be touring our fine country in April. That’s right, fuckin’ EAT SKULL!

I doubt if there’s a single person here who undervalues The Clean’s beauty, their vivid guitar storms punctuated by trebly guitar excess and bursts of down-home, deprecating humour.

The Sydney label has maintained a strong sense of quality in everything it releases, from Circle Pit to Lakes to Zond, it all rules. This show celebrated a damn good year for R.I.P, it was a great day and one […]

This show was part of the annual This Is Not Art/Sound Summit festival. I’ve never seen so many people at a show in Newcastle – the place was packed. Memories of this night for me are pretty much a blur, a lack of self-restraint wiped me out early on and that’s why video cameras rule. BLANK […]

Without a doubt, Joel Stern is one of my very favourite Brisbane people. He’s enthusiastic, forward-thinking, righteous, good-humoured (so that’s four counts he’s got me trumped on, then). He regularly puts on evenings of improv, noise, punk, esoterica and just plain weird shit at his seemingly omnipresent Disembraining Machine (you can find recordings of every […]
