]]> Crab Smasher were the first noise band I ever saw, at San Remo, in 2005 as a bright impressionable spark, they had at the time from what I remember a gameboy, shitty toy keyboard and a broken high hat, dreadlocks, face covered in paint, convulsing, screaming. Since then I have adored them, laughed at them, hated them, copied them, loved them and envied them.

Its a complex relationship that has always been interesting, watching them produce some amazing music and push it into new ears, with each release producing something completely new. It is my disappointing pleasure to find out that they are in Crab hibernation, the 3 existing members of Grant, Nick and Marn choosing to put the band to rest for a while. At the cusp of making an amazing album as well! I thank you Crab Smasher, and await your return.

]]> One of the greatest events of the year is coming up! The Winter Tragic Festival will once again take place at Akemi in the beautiful Blue Mountains of New South Wales on Sunday June 21.
Akemi is a small shopfront and house on the edge of a cliff overlooking a great big valley. It is operated as a studio and performance space by various artists, activists, and mega celebrities of the Australian experimental underground.
The Festival runs over about 12 Hours and typically consists of heaps of radical Blue Mountains acts, as well as bands from all over the country. It really is one of the best opportunities of the year for all the weirdos to get together and the label distros are always excellent.

The line up consists of:-
Sun Of The Seventh Sister
Hochman & Hopkins
Nhomea
Craft Bandits
Audiopollen Collective
Adam Simmons
The Splinter Orchestra
Lungalung
QQQQ
Venting Gallery
