Massive Brisbane news!

XMAS is clausing it's way to your door as you all settle back into your hot tubs. This show is gonna sell out while you boil! Cook it up quick.

Here comes xmas 25… marching it's sticks of revolution right around the corner. Drum roll everyone. The christmas spectacular is comin’ back to town. Nothing on ice... or stuffed with the fat cash of commercial dreams. Just down-home good spirited fun and a few warm Sherrys or four. Pack your swag bag with the apples of your eye… and ditch that sack of dirty coal. Come unblock the chimney and hang with the real carols.
That little drummer boy tips over the hammock of yuletide.

David McCormack brings the jangle to the jingle yet again.

This is an ultra special Yuletide explosion featuring the hot new supagroop DMc’s Exploding TRS-80. Lots of ancient tunes, some new. Featuring the bass magic of Adele Pickvance and the b***y drum bashing of Mr El Norto. Safety googles will be provided.

Groovy!

NEW CUSTARO!
Today is the release day for the epic new Custard double-album ‘Suburban Curtains’ (out through Valve Records/ABC Music), the 21-song opus full to the brim with that same quirky and cruisy Custard songcraft that’s made them so beloved for 30 years! I’ve been living with this for a couple of weeks to do some interviews and as a long-term fan can attest that it’s a tremendously fun listen up there with their finest works, and we have copies on CD and limited edition 2-LP coloured vinyl so give these legends of the local scene another crack at the title!
PS locally they’re launching the album at Miami Marketta on Fri 20 Dec and The Princess Theatre, Brisbane on Sat 21 Dec with support from The Fauves and The Stress Of Leisure, both touting rad new albums of their own!
