THIS WEEK IN SYDNEY...

WEDNESDAY.... Apparently Naked On The Vague's set is going to be one long cover???
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY.....
OI EVERYONE THREE FRIGGIN' GREAT INTERSTATE BANDS ARE IN TOWN OVER THE WEEKEND OF THE 14TH TO 16TH OF AUGUST. GO SEE THEM. COULDN'T BE STUFFED MAKING FOUR DIFFERENT FLIERS / EVENTS ETC SO THESE SHOWS HAVE BECOME "THE WILD WEEKEND".

BLANK REALM (Bris). Saw them a couple of weeks ago in Brisbane and by-george it was bloody good. Velvet Underground/early Sonic Youth/Parson Sound drone rock. Add some hard boogie bass a la Chrome or Hawkwind, heavy synth and some creepy egyptian/surf/death rock Rikk Agnew style guitar lines and you've got a top band. Not one paisley shirt / JAMC looking sunglasses-at-night fag in the band. Genuine people, genuine music!

KITCHEN'S FLOOR (Bris). Shit a brick these guys can write some tunes! Guitarist Matt Kennedy was also the man behind the also excellent band Look!Pond. No frills lo-fi guitar, bass and drums pop songs. Great mix of potential pop hits, weirdo eastern-y sounding guitar bits and big-small-town teen awkwardness. Sounds exactly like Brisbane. Would probably fit in with your modern day Siltbreeze stuff or Urinals style crud-rock pretty nicely... or maybe like Nirvana or something. Launching his debut album "Loneliness Is A Dirty Matress".

WASTED TRUTH (Melb). If you've got a massive boner for the darker, weirder, heavier side of US hardcore and the forgotten outsider stuff that happened between hardcore and "the year that punk broke" Wasted Truth are for you. A real Flipper, No Trend, Drunks With Guns, Flux of Pink Indians, The Gordons, Germs cult kind of vibe going on. Sean William Bailey (aka Lakes) on the bass and Harriet Kate Morgan on the drums (the most intense drummer).
