Idylls Hold Funerals In Tasmania

Posted by mothereel

After what was a great Bastardfest in Brisbane, Idylls, one of Lachlan's current crushes are hitting the wing of a plane, bouncing off and landing to play a few shows.  Perfect score!

Idylls 'Funerals Of Tasmania' Tour

Idylls 'Funerals Of Tasmania' Tour

The first show sees Idylls land in Sydney* on Thursday, where they treat all those in attendence to the chaos that they'll be unleashing in Tasmania.  This sees Idylls play another Bastardfest and Matt's Michael Crafter then takes or follows them around Tassie and there better be photos!

If you're attending, make sure you pick up some music, they've been getting good reviews (I'm not going to baby you too much, you look for the reviews yourself), which seems important to many people.

Posted by Lachlan

UPDATE: Spoonfed are out. Battle Pope are in!

Grindparty at Black Wire Records!

Art As Catharsis and Black Wire Records presents GRINDPARTY! A celebration of some of the fastest and most intense music that Australia has to offer. The first GRINDPARTY! takes place on Saturday 12 May, 2012 at Black Wire Records.

Headlining the night are those lovable positive powerviolence scamps Michael Crafter - hot off their recent tour of New Zealand. They are joined by their Sunshine Coast brethern Laeirs and Vile Specimen, as well as the always-intense Spoonfed, and local merchants of dissonance Fat Guy Wears Mystic Wolf Shirt.

This awesome event could only ever happen at Black Wire Records -- one of Australia's premier underground venues that continues to support experimental, heavy and fringe music. Support the underground, and get down to this show.

Doors are at 7pm. $10 entry. Drinks are BYO, and all ages are welcome. This is a night of nuttin but blast beats, beer bongs and blazin' chongs.

Facebook event here.
