Mother & Father – ignored [song review by Tom Darlow]

Melbourne group ‘Mother and Father’ [who performed at Camp A Low Hum 09] are staying cutting edge by doing things the old way; their impossibly simple website oozes with self proclamation and loaded rhetoric, something no one has really mastered since axel dated models, their albums come in super limited, hand crafted, 100 unit runs, and their music is a beautifully filthy, antipodean-Seattle throwback. Their latest single, ‘Ignored,’ is a rollicking tip of the hat to the mightiest warlords 90s grunge. Characteristically rough, darkly melodic and clocking in at a mere 2:04 minutes, this tune is a double happy, bursting from the blocks in a blur of feedback and effective simplicity. Expect to see a lot of others follow the lead of these chaps, as they stand of the shoulders of the past, and look to the future.

MP3: Mother & Father – ignored

Paris, here! [PARTY]

 

NOTE: The “Paris, here!” gigs for February have been cancelled. The initial venue fell through and Dr H has had some interesting developements in his life of late which are taking up quite a bit of his time.

 

Hey party peeps!

Before Summer runs away I thought I’d throw a cute little weekly thing at this new venue, Kreation. It’s a night loosly based around French, Melbourne and Sydney electro, techno and minimal.  Nothing massive, just rad peeps hangin’ out, having a great time and laxing over choice beats.

It is R18 and BYO booze but don’t get too silly on it, eh.

Also, if you know of anyone keen to play some tunes flick me a msg.

Peace,
Dr H

Swamp City Longboards on the streets of VIC

I was floatin’ around the streets of Fitzroy and Brunswick East, Melbourne last month and came across a whole bunch of stickers from Christchurch based Longboard company Swamp City Longboards. What’s the chances…
