fly on through the sky

Our dear friend Chase,

You were an extraordinary person.
A passionate music lover,

You were kind and fair, a free spirit,

But most importantly, you were the life of the party.

In the short time that we knew each other,

your effect on us was incredibly uplifting.

Your charisma and fun-loving aproach was infectious.

You made damn sure that every minute was lived to it's potential,

and you included everyone, always sharing the joy with those around you.

It is with terrible sadness that we learn of your passing into the next life, 

but in doing so you leave behind a collection of fond memories,

and a spiritual imprint of which you will never be forgotten. 

Until we one day join you at that great shindig in the sky,

with a glass of wine in hand and smiles all 'round.

farewell good sir.

Like so many of our friends and heroes, you were taken far too young.
But your remarkable spirit will live on inside our hearts forever more.

Rest In Peace.

that cat's something I can't explain

can I get inside your head?

you're a red nosed clown to me

Wow, how time has flown! Forming a little over a year ago, we're all set to release our debut EP on the 20th of August 2011 for all to hear!

Recorded in early 2011 at Evariste Sound Studios and produced by the legendary...and somewhat fanatical Syd Mueller, our self titled debut release features five new original tunes. 

1. Moonlight Through The Norfolk Pines  (Wesley)

2. Come Back To Me (Jamie T)

3. It Won't Last (Wesley)

4. Too Busy (Wesley)

5. Free As The Wind (Jamie T)

We'll initially be releasing to CD, but the possibilty of a vinyl release later in the year is definetly on the cards. 

A launch party will take place on the night, 20/08/2011 @ YaYa's. (see details below)

As a bonus, all attendees shall recieve a free copy of the EP upon entry!

BIFF! BANG! POW! ====> this way to the facebook event page.

son now here's some little something

 

It's back. For all who missed out on Mods Mayday @ Ya Ya's, the poster kind of speaks for itself. A night of up-tempo Mod classics, garage, freakbeat, ska, R&B, northern soul ect. Basically, all of the best. It'll be damn fun, Loads and The Crooks are both great bands and good friends. We're all playing for charity, however, last year's rider was incredibly substantial and kept us well happy into the wee hours.

Expect a packed Devilles dancefloor, and good vibes all-round.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, we've been kindly invited to headline a show at The Norfolk, Freo's best, and one of our favourite local venues. It's all part of Fat Jackal's June residency. Cheers lads.

Thursday 8th June is the date to put down. We're on stage @ 11:15 (yeah it's a late one for those of us with AM jobs) but who gives a fuck), stick around and we promise you'll see action.... and maybe some destruction.

We guarantee that we'll emerge after the long weekend with an EP in our hands! (well, atleast the pre-master mixes) We're heading to Upton Street on Saturday morning to lay down some final Rickenbacker overdubs & backing vocals, before we cut the final mixes over Sun/Mon/Tues. Needless to say, it's been quite an interrupted process recording this EP. With gigs, parties, uni, full time work, it's been hard to string multiple sessions together. Not often that you get a 5 day weekend, so we're gonna take it! We were considering uploading some demo samples but we figured if y'all have waiting this long, might as well wait a few more weeks to hear the real deal!

Mods Mayday

 

"I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see? I mean, you gotta be somebody, ain't ya, or you might as well jump in the sea and drown"

Grab your Fred Perry, Harrington and desert boots and head down to Ya Ya's to celebrate May day with a Mod Alldayer featuring all things touched by the hand of Mod. There'll be scooters, R&B, dancing girls, Rickenbackers, skinny ties, Weller & much more! These kinda shows are essentially the ones we enjoy playing the most and we gotta hand it to Al & the crew at Ya Ya's for putting on the event. Hopefully the start of something here in Perth!

Tickets available at the door on the day, not too sure of the price but a tenner should do fine! For that you get 8hrs of live Mod/Beat/R&B/Garage & Northern Soul.


MOVE-ON-UP!

who would be a painter man?

In other news, we have just finished the re-tracking of our debut EP, five new songs down and sounding sweet! 

Over the next few weeks we'll be mixing these tracks in our home studio before sending them off to the UK to be mastered at the end of the month. 

We hope to have a few teasers up on the facebook page in a few weeks time!

A big proverbial "shout out" to Alistair Walsh, Russell Morris, Shakey & co for their awesome work in directing, producing and ultimately creating a music video for our song 'Aftermath'. 

The clip is currently being colour graded and will be available for all to see in a few weeks time, can't wait! (we haven't seen it yet)

And finally, Step Brothers is genius......that is all.

I know a girl called Elsa, she's into Alka-Seltzer

2011 is here and so is Blow Up, the latest and greatest new shindig to hit Ya-Ya's

Here is a little introduction... 

- NME called it legendary, BBC referred to it as the birth place of Brit Pop and Time Out said there was no place quite like it, there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Paul Tunkin’s London club night Blow Up has changed the world. Setting the heels of UK punters alight for the past 17 years, Blow Up has its home in the same building where the Stones, Kinks, Beatles and Hendrix all recorded, in the middle of notorious street Tin Pan Alley. -

If the swinging soundtracks that characterised this time in history make your knees weak, you'll be thrilled to hear that Blow Up is coming to Ya Ya’s, Perth’s newest, independent live music venue. Mod, soul, classic pop  all the original sounds that have made Blow Up such an iconic evening will be performed once a month by top local DJs and bands. 

We'll be on stage at approximately 10:00pm and joining us, spinning rad tunes into the early hours will be DJ's Steed. Agent 85 (TW!ST), Mr Nice & The Likely Lads (Supersonic).  

Blow Up
