Comadre Sydney shows this weekend – 30, 31st July and 2nd August (Secret Show)
Comadre are coming to Sydney this weekend, hooray the wait is over! If you are like Lachlan and don't know who Comadre are they are one of the hardest working DIY punk bands in America (think Graf Orlock, Punch, La Dispute etc). Playing catchy screamo thrash in the smallest rooms possible to the most people possible. If you feel like getting sweaty and partying definitely hit up one or all of these shows, and maybe spend all of today listening to their back catalog to get your singalongs going. They are fresh from touring South East Asia/Japan, getting their tans nice and brown for the Australian winter, but I guess flying into Brisbane would help lessen the shock of the cold.
The info for the shows this weekend are as follows:
Saturday 30th July
(18+) Town and Country Hotel, St Peters
Let Me Down Jungleman, Gently Gently
Intentions
Idylls

New Track: Nice Guys
It has been rather quiet lately for the Sydney thrash/grind/dirtcore band Nice Guys, they have been hunkered down recording their debut EP "Shoot Out The Lights" with Tim Carr down the road from mine at 301, Alexandria, Sydney. The EP is due to drop May 30. Their record label Beard of Bees, run by the bearded men from Totally Unicorn, and have pre-released a single track from the said up and coming release called "Electrolyte Orchestra".
The song is a lot more atmospheric than I expected, using noise samples and tones throughout the song unseen in their live show. Saying that the crisp overall sound really helps lift the song up, the vocals use a really nice amount of distortion, singer Nick tried to find a similar effect experimenting with a variety of mic's in their earlier live shows but never pulled it off, I'm glad the recording has this, very listenable. The drums and poppy structure draw you into and along with the song. The feature of the song is the layered guitars, synchonised in their mess of up and down scales from the 2 pedal nuts in the band, the atmospheric tones and harsh distortion work nicely to create the final, polished product.

Nice Guys – Live @ Hot Damn
Nice Guys recorded their set off the sound desk at Hot Damn! last week. It is now available for download (exclusive to Ausgrind!) for free through Megaupload. Nice Guys put on a great show that night, as a band have tightened up their songs a whole deal, the 2 guitars adds an extra thickness to all their riffs, plus using a whole range of vocal techniques they are able to create a wall of noise. They have improved in leaps and bounds from their first show, and have gotten that little bit crazier. It is very awesome (not to mention Totally Unicorn and Handsome were also totally rad).
The set included:
Intro
Tomorrow's Season Finale, Today's Spoiler
Radio Larry Birdman
Get Up There Music
I Keep Telling You I'm Not A Pilot
Shitty Rainbows
Guy Party
Electrolyte Orchestra
Van Damnation!

Video from the weekend – Nice Guys
I took a video on the weekend of Nice Guys when they played The Townie with Thycaline and Surprise Wasp. The video didn't turn out as good as the gig was (its freaking loud and the audio sounds rather like sticking your head in a washing machine), was an awesome set by them, halfway through a strong smell of fish came my way and the PA I was standing directly under started smoking, I was kinda drunk and had no idea what to do so started fanning it with my hand, safe to say probably didn't help much. Anyway... Nice Guys play their own style of fast hardcore/grindish sorta stuff. Not sure what you would call it, but its awesome.
Check it.
