Central West Death Fest: Prepare those of the Orange
This weekend Orange is going to experience something truly unique. An all ages Death/Grind/Doom/Hardcore one-day festival. Organised by Hill Billy Josh who claims that it will run annually, it has a diverse bunch of bands and is super cheap! The whole thing is going to be filmed and released on DVD.
Headlined by Mother Eel, Sydney's oldest grind based and most intense and disturbing live band with supports from Orange's own Infested Entrails, Blue Mountain's Festering Drippage (hot off the support slot for Macabre - and just announced support for Cock & Ball Torture) and Sydney's Lower Back Problems. The bill is rounded out by locals Dead-Life, Newcastle's Empirical, other locals Near Life Experience and Once Within Reach.
It'll be more fun than recreating scenes from The Hills Have Eyes or Wolfcreek!

This is a great little festival for those who love their music fast, food vegan and jackets heavily patched. Since attending/playing a previous Such Is Life Fest this comes highly recommended although not for the faint hearted. Get some of your punk mates together and head to this to crust up. Don't forget the goon bag.
