'Sup

Just posting some stuff..
Been pretty busy/preoccupied/lazy/tired to update and add stuff.

Some gigs here and there.. Went on a pretty rad ska cruise the other week, Los Caps did a Sublime tribute set which was madsickk.
Went to a metal gig and felt hell out of place with the same/similar crowd I used to hang out with. Maybe it's Sydneys metal scene or just metal in general that doesn't appeal to me anymore... but I still love my legit thrash bands..

speaking of, trying to organise some more gigs but my biggest hurdle at the moment is getting a fucking venue. Bookers don't reply to me and I haven't established those networked contacts and what not so I don't have to go through this slow process bullshit.
I've been looking into warehouse and unlicensed venues and as cool as they may seem, don't really accomodate what I'm after in terms of a venue.
Thinking I'll also branch out and put on a ska/punk gig for the bands I've not yet seen but want to see. I hardly know anyone in the Sydney ska world though.. Gotta find some pals or something.

Finally got to have another jam with Disintegrator and wrote another song. It's longer and started as a Bob marley cover which went from jammin' to thrashin' to not even sounding remotely like ol' bob but we'll experiment with it. The songs too simple for my liking at the moment. I need to rework and add some riffs to it but it's sounding pretty cross exam/ dayglos which I guess is a cool mix. Writing whilst jamming with these days is the easiest it's been. With Tyrannik and other bands it was such a hassle to write stuff together but with this band I'm finding it alot easier.

I have tickets to Kyuss in May. super duper excited for this one.

Apart from that, shit's good. Almost summer but we've got a week of rain. O'briens are in Aus soon.. can't believe it's my birthday in a few weeks.
I'll leave it at that for now and will post again soon. or something.

kthx

Teratornis @ the Lewisham


Friday night saw the last Tornis gig of the year. After our traditional Maddogg tradition of longies and amazing charcoal grilled portuguese chicken in the alleyway, we went in for tornis (late as usual, not sure if we've ever made it on time when they play at the lewisham)

Anyway they were tight az hell and sounded rather solid.
They're recording their EP in a couple of weeks and I'm currently in the process of trying to book them an EP launch gig, but bookers and venues are slack.



Excuse the shit sound quality.
