An Interview with Irie Ploog of Kangaroo Kebab
Kangaroo Kebab are supporting Intense Hammer Rage this Friday
Irie Ploog (IP): Kangaroo Kebab, Surfgrind, Tex Houdini, Heaps Gay Ray, Gold Jwrry Gold and me (Irie Shire)
Grindcore like Napalm Death, The Kill, IHR, Nasum, Flesh Parade, Garbage Guts, Discordance Axis, Fuck...I'm Dead, Exhibit A, Decomposing Serenity
Punk like Royal Headache, The Cramps, The Minutemen
Surf like The Ventures and Dick Dale
Ag: Your Dad was in The Church back in the day, aside from being one of your only fans, how else has he helped out? Have you used his status to get chicks yet? If not, why not?
IP: Being our only fan, yeah I go hunting for milfs who liked the Church back in the day, none of the young sluzza's know the band.
Ag: Friday night is apparently your birthday and you're playing a show with Intense Hammer Rage. Do you have any friends (facebook doesn't count) that will attend that normally wouldn't? Are you going to do anything different to any of your other shows? What do you want for your birthday?
IP: One of me best mates Matty AKA Cunthead is going down for the brutality and to kill off his brain cells, I was considering playing naked for this one, just this once, It would be great if someone could get me the mastertapes of Blood Duster's new album KVLT.
Ag: Your knowledge is unmatched about some stuff and you're heaps awesome, what's the best band to name drop to show that you're more underground than anybody else? What do you like about them?
IP: That's gotta be Garbage Guts, one online demo, no facebook, no metal archives page, no photos of them pretty much anywhere, I'm glad I got to see them live before the singer went to the states, also Exhibit A because their one and only album is so fucking brutal and groundbreaking but no one knows it, oh and Super Fun Happy Slide too fuck they're awesome.
Ag: What would you like to hear in a band to make them your favourite? What's your favourite Sydney extreme band currently and why are they so good? What's your favourite extreme Australian band and why are they so good? What's your favourite extreme band in the world and why are they so good?
IP: Extreme, different sounds, insane vocals,killer guitar riffs,a standout snare sound etc.
This is a hard question to ask, it'll change all the time.
by currently I'm going to assume you mean newish band well I'll go with Brazen Bull, their new release is a winner of brutal technical stop/start grindcore
Favourite Extreme Australian band will allways be Fuck...I'm Dead because they are extremely brutal.
There's too many extreme bands in the world to choose from, but I'll go with Nasum because they were amazingly crushing when they played Sydney this year.
Ag: Anything else you'd like to say?
IP: Come down this Friday to see Kangaroo Kebab, come fucking early and no smoke breaks because we will probably only play for 10 minutes (no way we're doing 30).
also Nathan, can you please fix up my spelling and grammar because I am tired and cant be fucked doing it my self.
An artist's interpretation - not to scale
Roadside Burial Return: New Blood Album Launch
- New Blood Album Launch
Launching their devastatingly intense and crushing debut album "Subsistence", New Blood emerge a band who have have trimmed the fat, honed their skills and have become a finely tuned, precise and focused death metal machine.
Festering Drippage are quickly becoming known as one of the best death metal acts to be doing the rounds. With an impending Ep to be released and a string of high profile shows in the wake, the lads will definitely not disappoint.
Wretch are a new death metal from Canberra featuring members of the legendary Psychrist and Futility. With the experience under their belt, they are sure to deliver the goods.
Exekute who are quickly gaining a name for themselves around the traps as a killer live band, will be kicking off the night with their brand of face melting death metal.
Roadside Burial 11:15 - 12:00
New Blood 10:15 - 11:00

July 30: Slaughterfest IV featuring Fuck I’m Dead, Looking Glass, Mother Mars, Agonhymn and loads more!
For me, annual underground stoner, doom, grind and metal festivals like Grindhead Records' Slaughterfest, 666 Entertainment's Doomsday and Little Bird Agency's Devil's Kitchen are often sure-fire shortlisters for the best gigs of the year. The promoters of each of those festivals usually have quite a knack for producing a smooth-running, well thought-out and well-promoted festival with just the right amount of big interstate names and variation of styles.
This years Slaughterfest - the 4th edition since the festivals inception back in 2007 - is certainly no exception. Infact, I honestly cannot remember a more impressive and varied line-up - nor a show I was more excited about. The value for money (15 bands for $20) is certainly nothing to scoff at.
Grindhead Records and 666 Entertainment have teamed up to bring us an incredible day, balanced out with a nice mix of grind, stoner, sludge, metal, crust, punk, hardcore and doom. If I can give you one piece of advice it would be to GET THERE EARLY. My gut feeling is this one is certainly going to sell out (you should be going out of your way to catch Fat Guy Wears Mystic Wolf Shirt anyway, they fucking RULE).
Without further ado, here is the line-up for Slaughterfest IV:
Slaughterfest IV
Saturday July 30 - The Sandringham Hotel
Entry $20, doors at midday.- Fuck I'm Dead (VIC)
- Looking Glass (ACT)
- Roadside Burial
- Summonus
- Mother Eel
- Deathcage

- Ether Rag
- Red Bee
- Agonhymn (VIC)
- Burial Chamber
- Arrowhead
- Rock n Roll Weapon
- Fat Guy Wears Mystic Wolf Shirt
- VANFacebook event: http://on.fb.me/lAZFA1
Loads of merch will be on sale from Grindhead Records and bands playing the gig. The first 100 payers will be given a FREE Slaughterfest IV CD which will feature tracks from each band on this years line up. Get in early so you don't miss out!
See you there!

June 25 & 26: Captain Cleanoff return to Sydney with Death-Cult Jock!

AusGrind and 65 Degrees Music Café are proud to announce that tri-state grinders Captain Cleanoff will return to Sydney for the first time since December 2009. They are joined by Adeladian blast-beat addicts Death-Cult Jock for a duo of caustic double-headers of debauched aural extremity.

- Captain Cleanoff (VIC/NSW/SA)
- Burning Servant
- Death-Cult Jock (SA)
- Battle Pope
- Michael CrafterFrom 7pm. All ages. BYO. Entry $12.
Sunday 26 June 2011 at The Sandringham Hotel:
- Captain Cleanoff (VIC/NSW/SA)
- Roadside Burial

- Fat Guy Wears Mystic Wolf ShirtFrom 6pm. 18+. Entry $12
Facebook event: http://on.fb.me/fpwkfR
Long a staple of the now legendary and defunct Metal for the Brain festival, Captain Cleanoff have enjoyed a long run as one of Australia’s most-loved grindcore bands – instigating wild moshes and obscene dance-moves wherever they go. For many Aussie grinders, their combination of blast-beat infused punk and an indelible sense of groove is just too infectious to deny.
Now the name Death-Cult Jock may not ring a bell, but its members are definitely no newcomers to the Australian underground music scene. Having played in groups like Space Bong, Meat Wallet, God God Dammit Dammit, The Rivalry, Night Hag and many more, this group plays frenzied, crust-laden grindcore at breakneck speed, calling to mind the likes of Insect Warfare and early Napalm Death.
The tour supports are mix of old and new, featuring;
- thrash punk favourites Burning Servant.
- death/grind veterans Roadside Burial.
- the powerviolence punk duo of Michael Crafter.
- the dissonant and angular jazz/grind of newcomers Fat Guy Wears Mystic Wolf Shirt.
- the hyper-sexualised pious swing/grind of Battle Pope.
- old mates from Ebolie playing in their new frenetic grinding-tech-polyrhythmic-latin-jazz-grind outfit Serious Beak.
