Counterattack Live at the Arthouse Melbourne 24/3/11
thedowngoing Melbourne tour – November 24-26
Sydney’s 2-piece noisegrind purveyors’ thedowngoing are travelling south to unleash their ultra distorted cacophony of sound upon the unsuspecting masses of Melbourne this November in support of their latest EP. Watch out for their pessimistically positive attitude and ability to party harder than your average grind fan.
The self released, untitled mini-CD EP was recorded at the Brain Studios Surry Hills with Michael Taverner and mastered by Matheson Vaughn of local posi-violence heroes MICHAEL CRAFTER, and features 9 tracks of abrasive blasting in ten minutes.
Frontman Mathias Huxley provides an almost nauseating vocal performance atop his swirling guitar playing while skinsman, Muzz, supplies the spine to the sound with stoned blastbeats and jagged snare-work, while an organic layer of samples squirm into any moment of space, rounding out the claustrophobic sound of thedowngoing.
Hitting the road with support from some of Victoria’s most charming local bands, thedowngoing will be spitting vicious chunks of musical nihilism at the following events throughout November.
Thursday November 24 - Gasometer (upstairs) Collingwood

DOWNLOAD: Vendors Rich – Cactus
Melbourne math-metal band Vendors Rich have a new release for free download from their bandcamp, primarily unknown to me but I've listened to this stuff a couple times it's pretty good for those who dig the Dillinger Escape Plan / Robotosaurus style stuff. Mathy with some shoegaze and sludge thrown in for good measure. A bunch of kids that are worth keeping an eye on in the future for some seriously good and fresh music.
Grinding Gig Guide 15/07 – 16/07
There's a few Grinding Death and whatever Lachlan and Matt call their bands doing their thing is gigs happening this weekend, and not just in NSW! That's right! Using my power of searching the internet I actually came across more than just porn, references to my band (which I'm always searching for) or references to myself.
Perhaps you should not be so lazy and try that sometime...? Or hope that I do it often enough for you, scum.
Get out there and grind!

This Saturday July 16th: NSW grind invasion in Melbourne!
NSW grindcore is hitting Melbourne town for one night only!
Sydney’s hyper sexualized swing-grind quartet Battle Pope are joined on the night by math-grind NSW coasties Fat Guy Wears Mystic Wolf Shirt and posi-powerviolence duo Michael Crafter, who are flying in straight from their tour of South-East Asia.
It is set to be a massive once off show for all Melbourne folk, supported on the night by locals Party Vibez and Lazerface to help rip your face off. Come funk those Winter blues away at Yah Yah's (99 Smith Street, Fitzory)!
Saturday 16th July at Yah Yah's (99 Smith Street, Fitzory)

Happy Weekend!
Have a killer weekend, apologies for the lack of posts I've been in Melbourne working for the man. But while down there I got the chance to check out the new Agents of Abhorrence lineup for one of the last nights at the Arthouse Hotel, as their lease ends soon. Naturally, it was BRUTAL. My other pick for the night would have to be Yeap's from Pisschrist's new band Kromosom.
