Highlights of the CONQUEST FOR DEATH.

So, I guess it's taken me a while to get around to throwing up some shots from the Conquest For Death and Cut Sick tour but here goes, not much live stuff more just hangtime:

Craigums and Kiku at the Worlds End in Adelaide. Sick guitar move.

More wacky guitar antics.

Shep (Los Diablos / Unit 11:74 etc.) and Devon rubbing toilet regions.

Greg (Spiral Objective) and Karoline play catch-up.

Getting in the submarine at Holbrook.

Time to submerge, shame Holbrook is totally landlocked by a few hundred kilometres in every direction otherwise we could have send these goofballs to chill with Captain Nemo.

Ok. So Steve (Cut Sick) tried to earn some extra tour cash by driving naked from Canberra to Sydney in the middle of the night. Kinda turned out to be a bad idea but that's a long story.

White Male Dumbinance playing a killer set in Newcastle.

More White Male Dumbinance.

Rob from Cut Sick (also Useless Children and Occult Blood) treats Valla Beach like a toilet wall.

Craigums, awesome with an air guitar, not so accurate with a safety razor.

Moustaches and aviators.

Mad chillin at the Slaughterhaus in Brisbane.

More mad chillin at the Slaughterhaus.

Dave considered wearing the "heavy leather" he found laying around the Slaughterhaus kitchen to the show but chickened out.

I am not sure what is going on here but it could get goofy.

Yes, GOOFY.

Dave. Chillin hard.

Check out more photos of Conquest For Death and thier antics HERE.

CLOCKCLEANER

So this loud obnoxious American guy John Sharkey III has been lurking around Melbourne for a few months now. Recently his band Clockcleaner played a bunch of shows around Australia. Here is a couple of pictures from the show at the Birmingham with Straightjacket Nation and Collapsed Toilet Vietnam.




They pretty much look like retards.

Some Things Take Time.

So while I was packing up my belongings from my desk at the job I recently left after 7 plus years, I was taking down the SWEATLUNG logo that I had drawn and pinned to the wall above my desk. I figured seeing as I have been putting some more effort into the label of late that I should work on putting this logo to some sort of use. When I unfolded the paper to put in the scanner tonight, I realized that I had conveniently dated the sketch "2004". So this has been sitting there without a thought for 4 years. It needs a little bit of a polish, which i have started to do, added some background colour and cleaned some random marks, but here it is for the first time made public.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Sweatlung logo!

Superstupid vs. Paul Kidney at Pony

Last night at Pony in Melbourne city Superstupid unleashed a wall of heavy-as-fuck-blown-out-ear-blistering-psychedelic-fuzz-rock. Minds blown and ears ringing, Paul Kidney was there at the front unleashing his own energy in full Kidney style sonic driven dance. Amazing show.
