Weekend 49 of 2006

Us kids from Across the Rooftops will be occupied with the dubious wonders of Meredith this weekend - pray for us to escape the flames and the Gift both.

But, if you ain't heading out o' town, here's some fun for the whole family. I'm off to get a haircut and spruce up for the debauchery.

GIG of the WEEKEND

Black Pony Express album launch w/ Khancoban, Clinkerfield, Quincy McLean
Friday 8th @ The Tote

Dense, complex music in the grand tradition of The Dirty Three or Nick Cave or The Drones, supported by Melbourne's finest in pub-blues-alt-rockers Clinkerfield and alt-folk-countryites Khancoban.

OTHERWISE:

Friday December 8th:

Dallas Crane @ Ruby's
- the album's great and these guys are nuts; can't wait to hear Marsanne.

Girl Talk w/ Partyline @ Revolver
- very southside, may leave you feeling a bit dirty.

Jaimi Faulkner EP Launch w/ Yanto Shortis, Nick Barker @ The East
- acoustic guitars scratch a whole lot of itches.

Kathematics, The Capitals, Glue @ The Public Bar
- bouncy, rocky, JJJish, probably quite enjoyable despite that.

Saturday December 9th:

Edan w/ Dagha, Curse Ov Dialect, Mountains in the Sky @ The Espy
- don't know much of the headliners but the support is solid.

Frenzal Rhomb w/ The Lawrence Arms @ The Corner
- if you're an angry young man.

Rose Tattoo w/ Black Guns @ The East
- if you're an angry old man.

Subnormal album launch w/ The Follow, Creech @ The Rob Roy
- earplugs strictly required, loud and sticky rockin'.

Sunday December 10th:

Datarock w/ Ground Components @ The Hi-Fi
- shake your rump back to Monday morning.

Midlake @ The Corner
- Van Occupanther is one of my albums of the year, get into the indie-70s-rock.

Nuclear Free Benefit @ The Cornish Arms
- Rebecca Barnard, Kinematic, Elephant Mojo, more; they'll massage your conscience.
