no sound without $$$



the sound no sound crew have been providing a great space for people to make noise (some musical, some less so - all enjoyable) for a while now at yvonne ruve. unfortunately this requires electricity, which costs money, which is scarce.

luckily YOU can help out! on friday 28th july there will be a benefit show at the gaelic club (oh, the irony!) to get together enough cash to clear the debts and continue operations. it's only $10 for an amazing bunch of people, all donating their musical abilities to the cause:

The Thaw
Naked On The Vague
Rand & Holland
Castings
The Warm Feelings
Alps
Prehistoric FM

doors open at 7pm so make sure you get there early! it's vital that places like yvonne ruve exist so that the local music scene can continue to experiment and grow.

ps if you're coming to sonic youth this wed night we're on at 7.20pm so come down early to make the enmore seem a little smaller and help our shaky hands :o)

beauty and brutality




hey everyone!

we are playing a show at maggotville in a little while.

there will be destroying, but there will also be romance. sort of like the tagline to terminator 2*. except for the bit about romance. that's something that only eddy furlong and i knew... man i love that movie.

oh here's deets:

* saturday 15th july, 8pm @ maggotville^

* could've moved mountians (melbun) / alps (newie) / pure evil (up a wall) / the thaw (gutter)

* $6 - $10 (whatever u can afford - give some luv to our travelling friends)



hope to see you all there!

x steph

ps: we'll probably have our new demo tape ready by this show!!!! fingers crossed.

* the actual tagline may look a bit more like this: "Ten Years Ago. The Machines Who Rule The Future Sent An Unstoppable Terminator To Assassinate The Yet Unborn John Connor. They Failed. In 1991. The Machines Will Try Again." but surely it's just.. you know.. you say tomato i say tomato (ok, that doesn't work so well when you write it out...)

^ if ya haven't been to the lovely maggotville, it's @ 40 fitzroy st, marrickville. you can catch a train to sydenham station and walk. or even wander down emore road from newtown (although you might like to catch a bus along enmore road to the park and walk down edinbough rd). support public transport! it's the only way it's gonna get any better!
