I started this with the intention of covering the most interesting//inspiring//esoteric elements of the Melbourne music scene and as I have said before, over my two years in Melbourne I was discovering something new and truly exciting on a frighteningly regular basis. However, stuck as I am back in Belfast for the next few months, I feel there is not much point continuing to try and keep up with a scene from which I now could not be more removed and therefore think it makes sense to put the blog on hold until such time that the Australian Department of Immigration decides that I'm not a threat to national security. As something of a codicil though, I will quickly summarize blogs which might have been.<br /> <br />- <a href="http://www.myspace.com/nozu">No Zu</a> are probably the best band I've heard coming out of anywhere in the last few months, sounding like Arrington De Dionyso gatecrashed the Bush of Ghosts sessions. <br /> - <a href="http://www.myspace.com/caughtship">Caught Ship</a> are evolving beautifully by the sounds of the new tracks up on their Myspace. Catch these guys live and fucking dance!<br /> - I'll be ordering a few copies of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ratvspossum">Rat vs. Possum's</a> debut album, Daughter of Sunshine this week. I must have saw the band play twenty times last year so really looking forward to hearing these songs on record.<br /> - I never once heard of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jonnytelafone">Jonny Telafone </a>while living in Australia but stumbled across him as soon as I came home. A mixture of the very zeitgeisty dark-wave currently doing the rounds and love-lorn bedroom pop, it's strangely addictive stuff and all available to download for free <a href="http://www.dreamdamage.com/category/jonny-telafone">here</a>.<br /> - <a href="http://www.myspace.com/damfunk">Dam-Funk</a> is playing in the Roxanne next month - do not miss that shit, hipcats.<br /><br />As a final order of business, co-stars of the very first post on this blog and one of my favorite bands and people, the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tantrumsmusic">Tantrums</a> have very kindly put together a podcast that will move your feet and tickle your ribs - thanks Tanties!<br /><br />'An Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump'<br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/hv0whj">(DOWNLOAD)</a><br /><br />Willy Wonka's Psychedelic Boat Ride 0:00<br />Liars: Grown Men Don't Fall in the River, Just Like That 1:12<br />Bon Chat Bon Rat: Nowhere Paradise 4:17<br />Caribou: Hello Hammerheads 7:24<br />Seefeel: Spangle (featuring fight club dialogue) 10:00<br />Efterklang : Step Aside 17:20<br />Throbbing Gristle Interview 21:54<br />Clark: Growls Garden23:20<br />American beauty dialogue 27:57<br />UNKLE: Heaven28:20<br />Apparat: Arcadia 35:19<br />Charles Spearin: The Happiness Project 40:03<br />Document Swell: Dust Infauna 40:27<br />Seekae: Long Time Fish Pie 44:37<br />Xavier De Rosnay (Justice) 48:25<br />Health: Die Slow (Tobacco Remix) 48:35<br />Old Skull: Homeless 52:36<br />Absolute Boys: Minimal Wage 52:56<br />Children Of Men Dialogue 56:43<br />Elapse-O: Island 57:00<br />Jeff Buckley interview 1:02:00<br />Mum: Weeping Rock, Rock 1:03:33<br />Clerks 2 Dialogue 1:09:49<br />Wristcutters Dialogue 1:10:00<br />Ace Ventura Dialogue 1:10:46 <br /><br />See you all soon. x<br />DFRMTVDeformativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488283635981543701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134340611811663240.post-18678338096736758812010-03-19T17:52:00.000-07:002010-03-19T17:54:30.055-07:00Cool as shit.I'm playing this every single time I DJ from now on.<br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m83OhUaPr_4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m83OhUaPr_4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Deformativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488283635981543701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134340611811663240.post-20536041575001643952010-03-10T14:57:00.000-08:002010-03-10T14:59:36.454-08:00New Indian Jewelry - May 11It's called Totaled - I'm excited.<br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9747919&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9747919&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/9747919">Ditch Ghosts</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3261263">lazy mollow</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Deformativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488283635981543701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134340611811663240.post-59443361203696336982010-03-03T08:46:00.001-08:002010-03-03T09:19:37.572-08:00March Podcast - Pastry F<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLTev42xFYdDdUBsKuDnN0eAiW8ygpkovWU8T-ljqCMaBU0gzKTEKoiwv5jV8fcmvBGC6xeeUInrbMOKCJB_Tw9mFFXF1n2oOcLbeFPANNRnZDbD8pgyxXTsnfm4AP1BixwDnSYsGX80s/s1600-h/II+3317381629_cb0dec08a2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLTev42xFYdDdUBsKuDnN0eAiW8ygpkovWU8T-ljqCMaBU0gzKTEKoiwv5jV8fcmvBGC6xeeUInrbMOKCJB_Tw9mFFXF1n2oOcLbeFPANNRnZDbD8pgyxXTsnfm4AP1BixwDnSYsGX80s/s320/II+3317381629_cb0dec08a2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444456157643427170" /></a><br />YO!

I have moved back to Belfast for a few months so don't really know what form the blog will take while I'm away, but I'll figure it out. It has been a good fortnight back though, got to see Xiu Xiu and U.S. Girls but both were pretty disappointing...<br /><br />What is most definitely not disappointing though is the March podcast, courtesy of the very lovely and tall Pastry F, a.k.a. Alex from experimentalists <a href="http://www.myspace.com/iitunes">ii</a>. This mix is beautifully warm and fuzzy with several gems I hadn't heard in there.

Although weirdly for an overseas act that I'm sure a lot of people in Melbourne would be interested in seeing, there has been absolutely zero promotion for this gig. The reasons for this I don't know but I hope there is a good crowd because I hear they put on a fun show and it sucks for a band to come all this way to play to handful of people. As for who is supporting - again, no-one seems to know!

Asylum will be released as a split single along with the riotous <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL4IBq7Yg6U">Bi Ka Na</a> by the Richter Collective on the 1st March.

Anyway, this week I finally got round to listening to Daniel from Black Eyes and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/miamiamiami">Mi Ami's</a> new solo project, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/xsexworkerx">Sex Worker</a>. The Labor of Love is three tracks of hypnotic, vaguely krautish soundscapes, layered and fucked with many times over and harnessed by Daniel's distinctive caterwaul. I guess it's vaguely reminiscent of <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Emeralds">Emeralds</a> or <a href="http://www.myspace.com/highwolfmusic">High Wolf</a> and although those guys test my patience, this is completely addictive. The project is intended to raise awareness of the human sex trade and although I can't see it myself, apparently each track is a lamentation on the industry and those enslaved by it. Which of course is very worthy and commendable.

To mark the occasion they are having an instore party featuring the brilliantly lo-fi <a href="http://www.myspace.com/woollenkits">Woollen Kits</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thesilkear">Silk Ears</a>. Come down, bring some beer and buy some records so Pat and the others have less to move across the city this weekend.<br /><br />Tomorrow night Zach 'Whyte Lightning' Szumer is organizing a house party/fundraiser to help raise money for this friend Steph's dad, who has to travel to Germany for surgery.

Also playing is Heart Flew Like An Arrow, who I don't know much about but a quick listen to their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/heartsflew">Myspace</a> suggests they make interesting improv noise, so that's a bonus. It kicks off at 6pm at the incredible independent record store <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sunshinegrease">Sunshine and Grease</a> (117 Little Lonsdale Street) so there is also opportunities to browse pretty records while you have a beer and enjoy the show.

With the new year comes new initiatives and today is the first installment of a monthly series of exclusive podcasts for the Deformative blog. Ably equipped to deal with such a portentous task is Melbourne's newest and coolest party mutants, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/caughtship">Caught Ship</a>. Part of a current quite-exciting influx of Brisbanites to the 'Bourne, Caught Ship are possibly the most intense band intent on making you shake your skinny ass. Musically, beat-laden, dub odysseys channel <a href="http://www.myspace.com/flyinglotus">Flying Lotus</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jdilla">J Dilla</a>, as well as the bugged-out electronics of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/excepter">Excepter</a>, while vocalist Ben sounds like Mark E. Smith fighting his way out of a heavy acid trip, and dances in similar manner. Melbourne is a better place for them.<br /><br />You can catch the boys this Friday at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sunshinegrease">Sunshine and Grease</a> and pick up their cassette What Does Water Need from cool new label, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/totemtapes">Totem Tapes</a>.<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />"The Day I Cleaned My House To A" Caught Ship Megamix</span><br /><br />In The City - Chromatics<br />Egomaniac's Kiss - DNA<br />Don't Talk In Your Sleep - Magik Markers<br />Telescope - Gold Tango<br />The Sabbath - Asylum Party<br />Lucky Star - Basement Jaxx feat Dizzee Rascal<br />Water Curses - Animal Collective<br />Lightworks - DOOM<br />Camel - Flying Lotus<br />Dub Guidance - Horace Andy<br />Down And Out In New York City - James Brown<br />Birdbaths - Gerling<br />Lucifer Rising - Darktown Strutters<br />Campfire - Wu-Tang Clan<br />Machine Gun - Portishead<br />Pull Up The People - M.I.A.<br />The Keen Teen Skip - cloudDEAD<br />Sunlight - Caught Ship<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Snatch a treat from the peace pipe and go for a walk.

I really can't afford this but if you can, I'd advise you to wait until Saturday and take the V-Line to Bendigo and see them there instead. It'll probably work out cheaper and you get a better line-up, i.e. East Brunswick Girls instead of Eddy Current.

As thrilling as that release was, Watersports upped the intensity and the ambition, its sonic explorations both perfectly suited and a deviant cousin to the year's obsession with all things 'Hypnagogic.'<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/awAUlxUw2pU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/awAUlxUw2pU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="www.myspace.com/thesearepowers">These Are Powers</a> - All Aboard Future</span><br />Industrial hip-hop? Not quite, but it's as close as you're likely to come to putting a label on these Brooklyn experimentalists. Much less dissonant than their previous efforts but still with plenty of noise present, All Aboard Future blended parts of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/blackdicemyspace">Black Dice</a> with fractured post-punk rhythms to make an album of quintessentially New York grime.<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tZU91WgBhoA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tZU91WgBhoA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="www.myspace.com/girlsnames ">Girls Names</a> - C10 Cassettes</span><br />Two handsome chaps making honest-to-goodness surf pop, predominately about girls and eh, blood. Proof the zeitgeist cares not for borders, these stupidly addictive, reverb-soaked lo-fi recordings straight outta Belfast could easily have come from the sandy shores of San Francisco, a place where many of the bands they have shared the stage with this year originate. The cassettes have sold out now but you can still buy the downloads from the irreproachable <a href="http://cassflick.bigcartel.com/">Cass/Flick</a> for a measly $4.50 (exchange).<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K3qpdiRDiqY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K3qpdiRDiqY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="www.myspace.com/woodsfamilyband ">Woods</a> - Songs of Shame</span><br />More addictive pop music, this time of a more acid-folk variety.

Facetiousness aside, it really has been the year where the proliferation of blogs obsessed with all things 'chill' have allowed these two bedroom composers to garner worldwide followings. In the hypothetical argument, this blog would be giving the win to Neon Indian (by a long shot) for producing a gloriously sunny album which includes two of the best tracks this year - '6669 (I don't know if you know)' and 'Ephemeral Artery'.<br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VhKJL7FCGNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VhKJL7FCGNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="www.myspace.com/fieveltheband">Fievel</a> - Go West</span><br />Good on any band that gives away music for free.

However, I want to take the liberty of bringing attention to a week-long feature in <a href="http://www.supmag.com/category/interviews/">'Sup Magazine</a> focusing on the small but vibrant underground music scene in my former home of Belfast. Belfast, for such a small and parochial city has for the last 5-10 years produced some of the most striking, visceral and original bands I have come across. And in the last few years, elements that have been bubbling on the surface seem to have erupted and an actual exuberant scene of diverse but <a href="http://www.myspace.com/notsquares">like</a>-<a href="http://www.myspace.com/kicksblue">minded</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jlsgll">acts</a> have come together to create, what seems to me thousands of miles away, the most interesting period for Belfast esoterics in a long, long time. I guess they were all just waiting for me to leave.<br /><br />It may be that the attention lavished on my small but lovable former home and the people interviewed are dear friends of mine, is what makes these articles interesting to me. But hopefully if you are a Melbournian reader, you will get a kick out of this rare insight into the underground workings of a formerly-troubled city.<br /><br />Part 1 focuses on the uber-cool lo-fi surf two-piece <a href="http://www.myspace.com/girlsnames">Girls Names</a> and Part 2 on DIY gig collective <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ordinarydays">Ordinary Days</a>, whose head Dude, Mark Reid, gets top marks for surmising Belfast's scene - 'Luckily, not too many people in Belfast have the pretence of being hip so we can just get on with partying.' <br />Melbourne hipsters take note.Deformativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488283635981543701noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134340611811663240.post-78081691250440148842009-11-06T01:13:00.000-08:002009-11-06T05:24:25.200-08:00Yo La Tengo - Melbourne - Feb '10<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8ZD2VjxjAHD5byn49YX8YLl0zgW5gNB3FSgRlOQtOrL034I7ZVR7LhwvuQ1HthINu3HDCXbRYX58XgbA2DTo8zBgbPtZXLF1Jll_QkCRvmaTzDeRfitIpoSufAlPQMiTny27xP1NiFJw/s1600-h/yo_la_tengo.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8ZD2VjxjAHD5byn49YX8YLl0zgW5gNB3FSgRlOQtOrL034I7ZVR7LhwvuQ1HthINu3HDCXbRYX58XgbA2DTo8zBgbPtZXLF1Jll_QkCRvmaTzDeRfitIpoSufAlPQMiTny27xP1NiFJw/s320/yo_la_tengo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400931121548000162" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">May '06 - <a href="http://www.primaverasound.com">Primaverasound Music Festival</a> - Barcelona </span><br />Night numero uno of my first visit to the imperious music festival in the greatest city in the world was mighty fun for the first few hours but somewhat of a slow-starter on the music front. Glimpses were caught of the Drones, No-Neck Blues Band and Why?, before new buddy <a href="http://www.greenparty.ie/en/people/steven_agnew">Aggie</a> and I decided to have some pseudo-ironic fun at Motorhead (I'm still not sure what they were doing on the bill). Fun turned into ridiculous, ultra-raucous boogeying amongst the hoards of leather-jacket wearers present at the fest for one night and one reason only, meaning that by time the 'Head had finished, we were well and truly pooped. <br /><br />The huge steps a ways back from the main stage provided the perfect place to sit, have a few beers, recoup and easily watch the next band, whom neither me nor Aggie were entirely into - YLT. The next 45 minutes or so go down are some of the most overwhelming of my life. In my ignorance I was expecting some lofi indie-pop to pass the time until 2manydjs took the stage, what I got was a full-on aural assault, the pinnacle of which was the unleashing of then new track, 'Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind.' By the end of this 10-minute beast, during which time Ira Kaplan ripped his fender apart, slammed it into against and on top of a wall of Marshall stacks, while Georgie Hubley and James McNew continuously played the same beat (for ten minutes!), Aggie and I were giving each other genuine, sincere man-hugs at what we had just witnessed. This may sound corny as all fuck, but it really was that special.<br /><br />And the point of all that is <a href="http://www.feelpresents.com/upcoming/768/yo_la_tengo4.html">Yo La Tengo have just been announced they are playing Melbourne in February next year.</a> Naturally I do not believe it will be as good as Barcelona in 2006, but when the band who is responsible for one of your all-time highpoints in life are coming to town, it's hard not to smile.<br /><br />Happy weekend doods.<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KqtFyyJpyxI&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KqtFyyJpyxI&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Deformativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488283635981543701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134340611811663240.post-88704260243642844042009-10-28T01:27:00.000-07:002009-10-28T02:34:16.556-07:00On/Off - Totes Deaf Fundraiser<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmjiT8uQpS6A7VhYAJTQplNSW5yJu10LCTqxj0xnhuvL977ElbMd8VImxdfGbeKOImVMh_d3CeOJwuwnLsEX4dvYb87L-3Zev4krRZ67oMC3MSk3NpO-SEdtiABYddKCB7zbCJQrVF6G4/s1600-h/l_7cb1af834ffe4495a9a389ab3a85f423.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmjiT8uQpS6A7VhYAJTQplNSW5yJu10LCTqxj0xnhuvL977ElbMd8VImxdfGbeKOImVMh_d3CeOJwuwnLsEX4dvYb87L-3Zev4krRZ67oMC3MSk3NpO-SEdtiABYddKCB7zbCJQrVF6G4/s320/l_7cb1af834ffe4495a9a389ab3a85f423.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397575714629842482" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">There is something in the air in Melbourne these days. Spring is here and with it the fruition of exciting seeds sewn throughout the year – incredible new bands, huge celebrations of local music and an impending Summer exploding with all your favourite touring bands. Fitting snugly into this sanguine atmosphere is the opening of the On/Off Space on Johnston Street at the very beginning of 2010. The love-child of Jade McInally and Sarah Phelan from local electronic spooks the Tantrums and Kobi Simpson of Love Connection, the space will aim to be a local creative hub for Melbourne’s artistic endeavours. This Sunday the guys have arranged an epic line-up of local acts to raise funds for the space, dubbed ‘Totes Deaf.’ They kindly agreed to answer some questions about their plans and the benefit this weekend.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">So how did you manage to become lease-holders for the On/Off space? Was it something you had planned to do for awhile or an opportunity that arose?</span><br /><br />The opportunity arose when Kobi & Jade's friend Dylan, who they grew up with and went to school with decided to pass on the space. These three couldn't pass it up! Friends taking over friends! Keepin it in the family!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">You officially ‘open’ on the 1st January 2010, what are your immediate plans for the space?</span><br /><br />The space will be opening on the 1st as a rehearsal studio, art space and live music venue amongst friends with future plans for a recording space and other adventures.<br />Over the next few months, the currently vacant space will be transformed into a creative hub for local bands and artists to work, rehearse and share with similarly community-driven, emerging artists and musicians.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How about long-term plans, have you had time to think about what you would like the space to become or what role you would like it to play within the Melbourne music/artistic scene?<br /></span><br />Long term this space will be a rehearsal studio, art space and live music space, however future plans for a recording studio and other artistic endeavors are also on the cards......anything is possible with this lovechild!<br />We are hoping that the studio will fill a much needed niche in the music & art scene that the community of Melbourne has been asking for!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">You guys have close connections with bands like the Parking Lot Experiments, Rat vs. Possum, Tic Toc Tokyo and several others, often sharing bills and sometimes members – obviously these bands will be involved in the space but do you intend to reach out to other sections of the Melbourne scene as well?</span><br /><br />Of course! As you have mentioned we have close connections with these bands, they are our friends, roomies, bandmates, homies etc and as you can imagine they will be around quite often, however the space will be welcomed and open to all who wish to join in. We hope to reach out to many different people not only in the Melbourne music scene, but community artists and musicians all over!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Are all events going to be run by you guys or will promoters be able to book the space for independent shows?<br /></span><br />Many of the events will be on/off shows, however promoters, bands & bookers will also be able to showcase their music and art at our studio often!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Next Sunday is the big fundraiser, ‘Totes Deaf’, tell us about that.<br /></span><br />In celebration of not only the impending opening of ON/OFF, but also of Melbourne's consistently-evolving, consistently-inspiring music scene, nineteen bands plus DJ's will face the harsh daylight/reality of Sunday afternoon for a massive show at the Tote to raise funds. 13 clams = 19 bands, split over both the Tote's band room and upstairs' Cobra Bar. Doors at 2pm til late, on Sunday the 1st of November, including FREE BBQ (early bird gets the sausage) and compilation CD for the first 100 people through the doors. Pace yourself over the weekend, because Sunday is going to be EPIC!!!<br /><br />Bands that are playing - <br /><br />Outrun<br />Bachelor Of Arts<br />The Emergency<br />Dick Diver<br />Rat Vs Possum<br />Gold Tango<br />Sharpie Crows (NZ)<br />East Brunswick All Girls Choir<br />Love Connection<br />Bon Chat Bon Rat (SYD)<br />Space Cactus<br />Lehmann B Smith Band<br />Psuche<br />Sloth Comet (Great Earthquake)<br />Yama Boy<br />Milk Teddy<br />TST<br />Off Pops<br />Ming the Merciless + Deformative + Children of the Wave + Talkshow Boy DJs<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The line-up for Totes Deaf is something else, how difficult was it to organize? Were most bands that you approached happy to be involved?</span><br /><br />Everyone we approached was more than happy to be involved which was really nice! We have many amazing friends who are playing and helping out on the day, so fortunately it has been relatively smooth sailing....though 19 bands is still a lot to organise!

They have very kindly made their new Ep, Go West, available to download and it's a beauty. Clearly influenced by the usual suspects from the <a href="http://warp.net/">Warp</a> roster but also, to my ear anyway, acts like <a href="http://www.myspace.com/coldcave">Cold Cave</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/matthewdear">Matthew Dear</a>. So you get all the beats and squelches you would expect from those references but there is also something more plaintive and heartfelt here that you do not normally find in electronic music. A lot of this has to do with singer Tristan's voice, which whether falsetto-inflected on Tonight or strained almost to supplication on the sublime I Used To, carries something cathartic in it, and with the live drums, humanizes the songs. That is not to say that the instrumental tracks are robotic or sterile though, Swap Shop is a downtempo gem and Tumbleweed closes the Ep like the dreams of an exhausted child. <br /><br />With releases from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/loveconnect">Love Connection</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ratvspossum">Rat vs. Possum</a> and the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tantrumsmusic">Tantrums</a> all due by the end of the year, it's an exciting time for esoteric sections of the Melbourne scene, but they're going to have to work hard to better this left-field sleeper. All in all, Fievel have quietly produced this year's <a href="http://www.mistletone.net/category/artists/markbarrage/">Delays</a>. <br /><br />Download <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/yygxqhkndyq/Go West.rar ">here</a> and catch Fievel at <a href="http://www.last.fm/event/1190155+Fermez+La+Bouche">Fermez la Bouche</a> on the 17th October.Deformativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488283635981543701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134340611811663240.post-54454867494679263542009-09-24T18:35:00.001-07:002009-09-24T18:54:16.009-07:00Spring Tones<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbWFpRzM71y5V6SLcKtnft1LXDuxPybIOyZfZ-lQTfJKiwaRdxhkzhoiYUIe_ksjeCFjtsH4ITK-1PzumzVU8RJVN1K5kH96HNWUkEg-yxrDQqh7IniJ6oKPIcMo9jelidq1VxhgpScoc/s1600-h/3848517828_b1889643b1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbWFpRzM71y5V6SLcKtnft1LXDuxPybIOyZfZ-lQTfJKiwaRdxhkzhoiYUIe_ksjeCFjtsH4ITK-1PzumzVU8RJVN1K5kH96HNWUkEg-yxrDQqh7IniJ6oKPIcMo9jelidq1VxhgpScoc/s320/3848517828_b1889643b1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385217427765129122" /></a><br /><br />I don't think anyone needs reminding that Spring Tones is on tomorrow but here is another one just in case.
