HEART FLEW LIKE AN ARROW (+SPAZ DRUM OUTRO)



http://www.mediafire.com/file/mwjotyfttzd/Heartflewlikeanarrow-Paddingtonhouseshow,06.12.2008.mp3



Adam begins this set as a solo distorshow recalling his cdr release and earlier shows. Same idea, only augmented with a spastic drum outro courtesy of Andrew George Mclellan. The transition between the solo intro and band idea worked well innit. Thirteen minutes.

KINDS OF LIGHT (SERENE GUITAR DUO, BI GENDER)





http://www.mediafire.com/file/ydm4yldj22x/KindsOfLight-PaddingtonHouseshow,06.12.2008.mp3



Folk influenced girl boy duel guitars with an interesting mix of slide guitar and female vocals. Song based with Luke Walsh playing fluid guitar over the top. Nineteen minutes.

HOLLOW EARTH (TRAPDOOR N' FRIENDS)





http://www.mediafire.com/file/zz2wgzwknyb/HollowEarth-PaddingtonHouseshow,06.12.2008.mp3



First show in a while for HE. Not as percussive as usual, more freeform laptop noise n' saxo *skronk*. Repressed Snare drum awakens a beat to which certain audience members avert their foot movement to und fro. Nice and short. Seven minutes.

GS



KITCHEN'S FLOOR (SMILEY THREE PIECE)





http://www.mediafire.com/file/rmgyjgiimz0/Kitchen



Set starts with Failure, the room is full and upbeat. Vocals are loud and grainy. They contrast well with the nirvana-ish bass and Julia's dish based drumming. The set continues with stand out songs like; Sparkles , which seems extended as the crowd moves to the tribal drumming. Deadshits brings the performance to a close with the audience singing along loudly. A very happy performance enjoyed with friends. Twenty one minutes.

CURED PINK RADIO (PRINCE COMMITS SUICIDE)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/o2otwl2054w/CuredPinkRadio-PaddingtonHouseshow,06.12.2008PartTwo.mp3



Total left turn performance, set starts with the same two note drone thing he's been throwing around for a while, only sped up with a backing track (theme of which the backbone of his new and ultimately more EXCITING direction). AWESOME AWESOME SET everyone went berserk. Laughed, moshed, everything. Andrew accosted the audience a a a a a a a a a. Fifteen minutes.

MARL KARX (STARLETS OF AN EXCITING NEW ERA)






http://www.mediafire.com/file/tutvyj1nmd5/MarlKarx-PaddingtonHouseshow,06.12.2008.mp3



Marl Karx. So many thoughts, so many emotions, a few IDEAS and one band. Set is mostly comprised of their best material plus one new song. Vibe in room is of optimism of the present and physical reaction towards this epiphany confronts audience to throw themselves around and onto ground. Very enjoyable event. Fifteen minutes.

SCRAPS (GOOD SONGWRITER)




Reluctant celebrity of her own creation. Though never villified, always admired, wished NOT to have her recorded set of this night put up on the internet for dissection. Set was full of amazingly well crafted, genius invoking, passionately beautiful introspective meanderings of everything that is LAURA HILL. Brisbane would be much less of what it is without SCRAPS. Twenty minutes.

HEART FLEW LIKE AN ARROW (FRUITION 'O INDULGENT POST ROCK VISION)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ljmm3eyznmy

Heart flew like an arrow is OFFICIALLY one man, an Adam Rogers. Unofficially though, as of tonights performance INFACT, a full band of brisbane representatives. A/E/I/O/U, Cured pink radio and Nikko all represent here. Set followed two different keyboard keynote structures, that plodded along in a solid manner, while the three other members swelled around it. Drums were real good, though maybe giving Head man Adam for volume through his own guitar would settle perceptions on what heartflew IS and what it can be. Twenty minutes.

MARL KARX (Lost Brisbane youth)

http://www.mediafire.com/?yn3nvjzgqd0

Marl Karx perform for charity at Rosie's on a Thursday. Glen Schenau and Michaela-Sophie Chin play an amazing set before ending with a nervous breakdown. TWENTY-ONE MINUTES.

KETTLEHEADS (Progressing rock-band town brothers)

http://www.mediafire.com/?xwyawnqtjwz

Set begins with a very active song with every instrument doing something equally WELL read 'interesting'. Song stretches out, an odessey of sorts. There were some REALLY good parts amid the set, alot of lead lines staying with myself outside of set. WATCH OUT. Twenty seven minutes.

SCRAPS (SECRET STAR)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ykmtzz42tzt

Laura gets out some anger, middle-class menopausal women stand around unsure how to take the sweet beats and brutally raw honest paiiiiiin. Sing along bliss. The laughter is due to Laura taking a cardboard box as a lover ("Patsy") and hating on the indifferent/apathetic crowd, who eventually are forced to listen. Twenty minutes.

SNAKERUN (A WEEKS WORTH 'O ANGER)

http://www.mediafire.com/?2yuzo1dnzyl

Snake Run thrashed from adelaide to brisbane again and this time played rosies to a packed crowd of which only fed to their attitude towards delivering a spectacle. It would be lazy to type Black flag down, that of which I am very. Set was really good, never let up. Ten minutes.

STEFAN SPACE NEEDLE SQUAT SHOW, 01.11.2008

MAGICAL MULTIPLE MOONS (TRIBAL MASTERCLASS)

http://www.mediafire.com/?lt3zjj5mioi





Magical Multiple Moons is Magical Kitten is Kitten Party. Tonight, Rohan performs his set in parts, with each part exploring a different element of his gathered tools. Beginning with a hypnotic cymbal cycle, his set later includes recorders, dictaphone (?) and the collection of empty wine bottles he's surrounded about his space, each of which adourned with a flower. Set closes with a percussive passage in which the untrained ear would suspect there to be more than one performing. Six minutes.



THE YEAR OF THE SEX OLYMPICS (TRUE BLUES)


http://www.mediafire.com/?czzm2mznmyv

Jamie revisits his vague approach on New Order's Ceremony tonight, only this time he's more liberal with the wanton violence inflicted on the ancient acoustic guitar. The recording here is rather quiet, but expecting anything more would be ignoring the point. Three minutes.

TRIBAL POLICE (THE REVOLUTION IS NEVER COMING)

http://www.mediafire.com/?lzalzm2nnmv

http://www.mediafire.com/?zkzzt4on5ny You'll find most of Andeh's 'forum' in this recording.

TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BANDEH

Fifteen minutes.

LIBBY EDWARDS ART GALLERY, 31.10.2008

Artist Jack Pemble had an exhibition schedualed to night, asked Matt Kennedy to play a set at it. Kitchens Floor drummer Julia Norris was in east timor around time, so Matt called in band Marl Karx to back him in what would be the very first electric Kitchens Floor three piece show. The month prior, we spent maybe 3 days of said month rehearsing, then on the night playing with different amps.


KITCHENS FLOOR (HIGH SONGMANSHIP + DRENCH GUITAR)

AUDIOPOLLEN #75, 24.08.2008

These are some recordings one Joel Lancaster of Nerang made with his mobile phone when Agreeable kids curated Audiopollen. Cured Pink Radio, Heart flew like an arrow, Year of the sex olympics and Fungus muffs also played, went unrecorded. As per usual, the quality of the recordings here are shot, only in a different way as they were recorded on a different device.

VALLEY POOL CAR PARK SQUAT SHOW, 11.10.2008

UNIQUE OIL FREE AIR (PRE-RECORDED NOISE THRU PEDAL PROCESS PLANT)



http://www.mediafire.com/?mwnyngwey4m

http://www.myspace.com/uniqueoilfreeair

Unique Oil Free Air is a solo project of one Adam. He starts his set in the corner of the car park as it's where the power point is situated. Some purple flowers have been scattered around said area, floating in puddles left by the weather that's gone and wet today. Adam's music is fed through a belt of pedals before him and out through a tiny practice amp. As he activate more pedals, the sounds become mor dense and demented. It's not long though before a man working inside the building we are leeching power from comes out and kindly asks he stop. Only around five people witness his set. Four minutes.

MAGICAL KITTEN (MANIC ACOUSTI-EXPRESSION)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ydzjjnkt2my

As we've been asked to leave, Rohan (Magical Kitten) leads us over to another corner of the carpark, to a chainlink fence where trains often pass. Before this change in location, Rohan was planning to do a screamy delay pedal set, but we were now without electricity. So, he did an acoustic set on the fly. He sits at the bottom of the chain link fence and scatters his stuff around him. A now modest audience of around 7-8 stand around. Rohan starts his set by blowing through the top of a recorder, playing some shrieking high notes, before going into a state of visible panic, thrashing at the borrowed cymbals around him, among lot's of other things. The tribal nature of his music works really well with the industrial nature of our surroundings, trains passing, barbed wire. Really good, recording turned out really well also. Three minutes.

AUCHENFLOWER RED LIGHT DISTRICT (POST INDUSTRIAL MINIMALISM)

http://www.mediafire.com/?m1mozknommu

ARLD is another one of Jamie Hume's projects. I've seen him do an ARLD set before, only that time he was in a relatively stable enviroment (The Forest cafe space). For tonight's set, we are on private property, and have already provoked those who inhabit buildings around us. So Jamie's percussive set of beat ignorant cymbal crashing is ultimately more exciting. He tosses the broken cymbals around haphazardly, even with a certain flair for the disregard to to space around him. He ends his set when the cymbals are thrown over the chainlink fence I referred to earlier. Rohan scales the barbed wire and retrieves them. Two minutes.

MAGICAL KITTEN AND AUCHENFLOWER RED LIGHT DISTRICT (FAIR COLLAB)

http://www.mediafire.com/?nwn3z2mkylm

After Jamie's set, more people arrive, and it is decided we all go back to where we were originally told to leave from, where Jamie and Rohan could do a duel encore, this time with electricity. Rohan screams into a microphone with delay pedals and all sorts, while Jamie throws his cymbals around. Then the same guy from before comes out of the building again, this time turning off the power himself. Rohan's delay effects are stripped from him midscream. Thirty seconds.

THERE MAY BE PICS SOON

AUDIOPOLLEN #80 (TOM HALL'S HOUSE AND CURATION), 05.10.2008

CURED PINK RADIO (EX ANOREXIC FAT)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ztvml1nndmj

http://www.myspace.com/curedpinkradio

Tonight's set was essentially the same agenda as the michelton show, only differing slightly, with perhaps the enviroment to credit. The police had already stopped by before anyone had started to warn against noises' loud, so theres maybe another factor WHAT IS THE USE OF ANALYSIS LISTEN TO THE RECO)))RDING Fifteen minutes.

BLACK BIRCHES (NO ANCHOR INCOGNITO)

http://www.mediafire.com/?2im4tdoynwm

http://www.myspace.com/noanchorband

For reasons I think being that two bands tonight under different or slightly altered names played a show the night before together at rics, the masking instead of subtracting bar revenue from a bar venue + bands left it on the shoulders and pulling power of name's original. The first band in question being musical pairing of brisband vets Ian Rogers and Alex Gillies AKA No Anchor. Their set as Black Birches began with Alex manning the drumkit as per usual, Ian on the floor nearby using a laptop, noise purposes. A slow build up eventually saw Ian pick up his bass guitar essentially turning what could have very nearly passed off as a new act (sic) entirely (laptop 'n drum duo Black Birches) into a No Anchor set, complete with solid block bass and powerrrrr. Down and up and down. Fourteen minutes.

YUSUKE AKAI AND NIK MAYER-MILLER (JITTERY GUITAR/DRUM SAVANTS)

http://www.mediafire.com/?2xzwjylmj2y

AMAZING. Set was like, A LESSON. TOTALLY captivating, recording turned out really well. Yusuke plays guitar like he has completely ignored any sort of formal guitar training, unless it was training of this school in which case KUDOS because FUCKING GOOD! Nik rolls around his towelled down kit as if mentally falling down a set of very percussive stairs IE. REALLY GOOD. NOT ENOUGH CAN BE SAID BUT HERE I AM PS DOWNLOAD THIS. Eleven minutes.








SECRET BIRDS (JAM CHAMELEON BAND)

http://www.mediafire.com/?te5twmemdym

http://www.myspace.com/secretbirds

To further fit with tonight's curated lineup and theme(s) (that being doom/kraut rock), Secret Birds play tonight as an organic, solid, repetitive kraut rock band. Performing with D.black on guitar (as per usual) were a bassist, another guitarist, a drummer and Tom Hall himself operating something electrical, a keyboard perhaps. Droned on a bit, but that's the nature of der genre. Heil!. Twenty minutes.

SPARTAK QUARTET (SPARTAK + MEMBER)

http://www.mediafire.com/?mqydthylnny

http://www.myspace.com/spartakmusic

Second band under circumstances altering their name. Band of course is actually Spartak, but to be fair have another member present during set tonight. Spartak approach the guitar/drum band in a fresh way where musically the guitar lays a bed of soft, synthy passages where the drummer will spasm over his kit-over the top of guitar bed lain down. So the drums are essentially the centerpiece, and rightfully so!. Drummer utilizes his surroundings (read, a ceiling beam) to get more percussion out of his role. That is, when he's not using every space possible on the kit he sits at. Really cool. The extra member didn't really have any audible contributions to their set, though maybe that was due to him setting up very far away from Spartak themselves. Seventeen minutes.

BLACK VITAMINS (AUDIOPOLLEN ALL STARS)

http://www.mediafire.com/?oz21zti2zmi

This so called "super group" features all the members of Blank Realm plus Joel Stern and the guitarist from Tad Guru Band. The set features two guitarists, mini trumpet (?), keyboards, drums and bass. The set starts with a funky dance beat and structured interesting bass which connects well with the guitar. The undertones of droning piano and guitar from the Tad Guru member contrasts well with the "dancey" music and gives it another interesting layer. Finally, the high pitched trumpet "solos" from Joel Stern bring the music to a more improvised 'Audiopollen' feel. Sarah's vocals sound like a mediation and create a STERN background noise. The set is enjoyed by the audience and various audience members dance along. All over it contrasts well with the overall dancey feel of the bands at Audiopollen tonight. Eighteen minutes.
