Childrens Theme Songs…

Matt — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 09:42:06 +0000

Their is a new Lesstalk release out featuring the a bunch of bands covering their fav Children’s theme songs in their own quirky way. Heaps of underground and obscure bands recording their own version (Michael Crafter, Jess Locke, Simo Soo, Anal Discharge, Origami Girls etc). It was made specifically to be given out at the Artless Armchair Festival last weekend and I still have heaps of copies left if anyone wants to buy one.

Review: Life With Ashley

Matt — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:38:38 +0000

Life with Ashley is the story of a girl (Ashley) and her quest to woo a boy by putting on a party and inviting him to come, and then spend the entire night trying to “do him”. Here perspective on life is very immature and unique, she does not hold back in front of the multiple dodgy cameras, and is able to say what she is thinking before thinking about what she was going to say… constantly. This movie was shot on multiple HD handheld cameras, using a mix of personal shots as well as 3rd and first person, at times the cutting between these shots seemed to rush some great moments and ruined many of the jokes in the film, but if you were able to grasp on to some of the humour in this, it is truly funny.

Has its own feel about it, although rawly shot and edited, it did have its own sort of weird appeal, the characters were honest and it is a very real perspective of a normal suburban upbringing, and your general summer week. I think it’s great. The characters in this film seemed to come out of the woodwork and some of them possibly could have used a bit more development, but i cant believe the broad range of characters in this film (it had it all). At times it was frustrating because nothing was left to your imagination, the filming was intrusive and uncompromising. Any 17 year old that is able to film a week of her life without and feelings of self consciousness has more guts than me.

The Snoozefests OUT NOW

Matt — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:05:57 +0000

Jake and I have been in discussion about this album for some time and I am really happy to be finally putting out their debut, I really dig this band live and on the recording, Jake knows the sound he likes and just freaking goes for it. Formally members of ska/hardcore/punk band The Solid Beam, The Snoozefests is a refreshing change to the dull Central Coast music (but I’m not saying your band is dull…mate). The Snoozefest’s debut album is out now on Lesstalk Records. These 14 killer tracks were no mean feat, they were recorded, mixed, mastered and released within a month, paying homage to all things 60′s garage pop and dirty blues. The Snoozefests “One Way Ticket to Snoresville” also features Carrie from The Booby Traps on backup vocals. The Snoozefests are playing with The (temperamental) Pocket at Hornsby Inn on Saturday the 28th of November if you wanna come celebrate the new CD. For Fans of Frowning Clouds, The Booby Traps, The Stems
