Last Ever East Brunswick Club Show Announced
2 Comments. 1,798 Views. Posted 23 Jan 2012 @ 8:13am.
Following on from the announcement late last year that the relatively young East Brunswick Club would be closing its doors forever, a solid lineup of much-loved local talent will be saying sayonara to the much-loved venue. Uber-hot Melbourne duo Oscar + Martin will headline the last ever show at the East, bringing with them an arsenal of sugary sweet hits from their breakthrough LP of last year... Read More
Harmony, Saturday December 17, Phoenix Public House

    I’ve walked past the Phoenix Public House a million and one times and never so much as had a beer in the cosy front bar, let alone seen a band in the venue. As I stepped in there, I found myself wondering how this could possibly be the case. I nervously propped myself against a questionably structured railing in the corner of the room and was completely smitten with the place. It... Read More
Death Grips Cancel Australian Debut

Due to touch down in mere weeks, raw hip-hop trio Death Grips have cancelled their sprawling Australian tour. And yep, you guessed it, "unforeseen circumstances" are to blame. The trio were due to hit both East Brunswick Club and Northcote Social Club during January, as well as head out across the country alongside their appearance at Tasmania's MONA FOMA.   The following statement was...

Fucked Up, Wednesday November 30 - East Brunswick Club

Support slots are a funny thing. Within the space of two months, I saw Jay-Z and Fucked Up perform as guests for U2 and The Bronx respectively. Both sets were incredible in their respective sense. But the label of support comes loaded with an impedance of context, one which wouldn't materialise in the festival setting, for instance. Lucky for us, Fucked Up have graced us with their presence...

So like most of Melbourne, I fought tooth and nail to get my hands on some Fucked Uptickets last week. It seemed like all of a sudden, their headlining sideshow became the most sought after ticket in town.  The East Brunswick Club is usually relatively hollow mid-week but folks keen on some school night shenanigans were spewing out of the venue on this chilly Wednesday night. Felt nice... Read More

So more news surfaced over the weekend of Bring Me The Horizon being involved in yet another brawl with their crowd. In circumstances not dissimilar to their previous melee in Salt Lake City, the band was getting heckled relentlessly and this time guitarist Jona Weinhofen (usually regarded as a pretty placid guy) jumped into the audience to take on the heckler, shortly followed by singer Oli...

Today I'm extending the olive branch to Jenna of Tonight Alive and then swiftly slapping every naysayer square in the squids with it. Following Tonight Alive's signing to Fearless records last week I kept catching wind of dickish statements like "they're just an Australian Paramore", "just because she's a hot chick", to which I feel compelled to say, "no shit". The girls IS attractive and as this... Read More
Bachelorette - Wednesday October 19, Toff In Town

The Melbourne festival can be an intimidating money drain at times, though it's always worth seeking out the smaller gigs that spring up around this time but with considerably less fanfare. Rat vs Possum may be the support for tonight's show at the Toff in Town, but their party-time set doesn't waste time with a slow build-up. Their live shows are always spectacular and often superior to their... Read More

Here's hoping it's a precursor to the return of the recently... Read More

You're an easily swayed sort and probably taste your own butthole when you think no-one is looking.

When arriving that this show, it would have been an easy mistake to make thinking that one had perhaps walked into a Lewis Carroll novel. Characters of all sorts swarmed in early for The Crooked Fiddle Band's highly anticipated launch of their Album 'Overgrown Tales' - recorded in Chicago with the legendary engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, The Pixies, Gogol Bordello, Jonanna Newsom).

It took some time to get used to but we're good with it now. It is very open to interpretation so you can attach to it what you see or feel. Goat Bothers Of Oslo have a specific task and location. Still… it's the music that identifies... Read More

Yeah, so did I mention how much I'm digging Balance And Composure at the moment? Are ya'll sick of the endless, guffawing praise spewing forth from this tiny corner of Beat yet? Well, their performance at Next! last Thursday night did nothing to stifle the mad, all-consuming love. The sound at the venue did the powerful five-piece no real favours though.

Jim Ward At The East Brunswick Club

When Jim Ward toured Australia with At The Drive-In in 2001, he befriended a pre-Bono Chris Martin, also here on the Big Day Out tour. There was even talk of a side-project between the two, boggling the mind as to what sort of sound the then two polar opposites could come up with. Ward has since toured with Coldplay in another of his post-ATDI bands, Sleepercar, and moved slowly away from the... Read More

Well the news of the week must surely be the most unexpected, yet not super surprising, split of Canadian band Alexisonfire. I mean, on one hand, you never expect a band this incredibly popular to call it quits. Bands work so hard reach the levels of success Alexis' did, so disbanding seemed more and more unlikely the more records they sold. And damn, Old Crows Young Cardinals was a runaway... Read More

Priory Dolls start the conversation: I told someone I was playing with a band called Reckless Vagina and they kicked me in the face out of shock. This isn't a typical reaction at all. Usually, people are quite receptive to the band name and quite often praise us for having the balls to try something so wristkay. The guy that kicked you in the face was that same guy who borrowed all our gear... Read More

One of my favourite bands of all time, Strung Out, released a collection of re-mastered songs last week. Titled Top Contenders it was a kind of best of (not including three new tracks), and I've gotta say that despite me loving this band with every inch of my being (especially the portion that is wildly sentimental, as I suspect this is what's fuelling the flame at the moment), releasing...

I feel like we have a lot of fantastic local releases to be excited about at the moment. Just as it seems that all our international acts have deserted us in the face of our brutal winter, it would appear local talent has come through with the goods. Firstly the new album from The Smith Street Band (Poison City),No One Gets Lost Anymore,is a corker and singer Wil Wagner seems to be... Read More

There's an undeniable folk aspect to local band Falloe - an earnest, empathetic quality in the band's story telling that's common to the folk genre. But Wade Piva, who formed Falloe around five years ago with Rennie Paonessa, says there's a lot more to the band than just folk. "There are folk elements in our stuff, but there's a lot more in there," Piva argues. "And the people in the band are... Read More

So Soundwave have confirmed those long-lingering rumours of a Title Fight / Touche Amore tour. Oddly, they also confirmed that the Melbourne show is scheduled to take place at one pretty big venue (Billboard) for two pretty teensy tiny bands.
