Tonight: Grannyfist & Frank Rizzo at The Harp

Posted by Lachlan

Grannyfist LiveQuite a cool little Grindhead Records show on tonight which will be no doubt enhanced by the simplistic beauty of pints at an Irish Pub.

Grannyfist, Frank Rizzo, Code of Lies and Fuck Oath will all be grinding up The Harp Irish Pub at Tempe from 8:00pm. I recommend some form of steak/pint combination for maximum enjoyment (is there a bistro there?).

In case you don't know these bands; Grannyfist play Anal Cunt-inspired screeching breakneck grindcore, with an extremely talented drummer (who also plays in Roadside Burial with members of Sydney veterans Bludgeoner and Volatile) and a hilarious vocalist (who also DJs as Drillbit) armed with truly horrific and agonizing vocal effects.

Frank Rizzo liveFrank Rizzo are one of my favourite Sydney punk bands. Their music is fast, furious and catchy as hell, complimented by two vocalists who play very well of eachother. All up they are a killer six piece. Code of Lies are the promising young trans-genre grind band that I keep raving about (unforunately sans their caped vocalist Nathattak). Their new MCD The Age of Disgrace should be available on the night.

Last of all Fuck Oath are a crusty grind/hardcore band with members of many other Sydney bands. I haven't had a chance to catch these guys live yet.

The line up is as follows:
Grannyfist
Frank Rizzo
Code of Lies
Fuck Oath

See you cunts there.

Captain Cleanoff announce Australian tour!

Posted by Lachlan

Captain Cleanoff logoCaptain Cleanoff have long been considered one of Australia's (and dare I say the worlds) best grind bands. These guys manage to mix mosh-inducing punk grooves with sheer blasting brutality, coupled with an inimitable vocals style, an enormous live sound and a sense of humour and fun.

Captain Cleanoff Symphonies of SlacknessNot only have they released two instant classics within the genre (Self-titled and Symphonies of Slackness), but they are also one of Australia's best live bands (rivaled only by fellow grind heavyweights Agents of Abhorrence, The Kill and Fuck I'm Dead in my opinion).

1 Nov  THE ARTHOUSE MELBOURNE (Fuck I'm Dead, Roskopp, SFHS)
2 Nov  MISSING LINK MELBOURNE (The Kill)
5 Nov  HAMILTON STATION HOTEL NEWCASTLE (Grannyfist, BTBG, Shitfight)
6 Nov  BRANNIGANS TAVERN GOLD COAST
7 Nov  ROSIES LIVE BRISBANE (Daemon Foetal Harvest)
8 Nov  MAGGOTSVILLE SYDNEY (Deathcage, Roadside Burial, Maus, Ebolie)
9 Nov  REPRESSED RECORDS SYDNEY (Kill A Celebrity, Code of Lies)
21 Nov  AMPLIFIER BAR PERTH (The Furor, Cuntscrape, Vespers Descent)
22 Nov  LEEDERVILLE HQ SKATEPARK PERTH (Grotesque, Claim The Throne, Death Fucking Cunt)
27 Nov  THE OLD BAR MELBOURNE (Pathetic Human, DB Call)
28 Nov  THE SALOON BAR LAUNCESTON (3 Victims, DB Call, Nopse Teipsum)
29 Nov  BRISBANE HOTEL (all ages) HOBART
29 Nov  BRISBANE HOTEL (18+) HOBART

So order your copy of Symphonies of Slackness and draw some love hearts, unicorns and rainbows around the date Cleanoff come to your town!
