BRICK BRICK - THRILL HILL HOUSESHOW MAY 12 2018

Poster by Heidi Cutlack.

Brick Brick host a somewhat impromptu house show at Thrill Hill, which is where the band began.  This was also the last time we'll play there as certain bricks move overseas, so you could say this was the final set in our little natural environment.  There was even an unplanned BENT reunion who played through a catalogue of some of their greatest hits.

Thanks to Glen Schenau for once again filming Brick Brick.

SOOT - VIA STUDIOS MAY 11 2018

A surprisingly effective solution to any venue woes is to hire a rehearsal room for a couple of hours, charge $5 at the door and cram everyone in there.  Get on board the brrrrrrrrrrrr* Bowen Hills train cause we're going to Via Studios.   A couple of weeks ago I posted about Soot but the footage was really dark and like most of the stuff on this blog, basically unwatchable.  Not this time damnit, the lights stayed on and Soot were awesome.

Things got BYO messy and I didn't film the other bands but Hexmere were sickkkkkkkkk.

TIM & THE BOYS / BINLICKER / BRICK BRICK - NETHERWORLD APRIL 28 2018

Poster by Joe Sukit.

A free Saturday night show at the quite popular Netherworld Arcade Bar (formerly The Step Inn and The Underdog).  This was an album launch for Sydney's Tim & The Boys with Brick Brick and Binlicker supporting.  The venue was packed to capacity which made navigating around a bit of a mission and it was also practically impossible to get a turn at Daytona.  The complimentary food and drinks were excellent however and generally it was pretty darn fun.


BRICK BRICK



Brick Brick's 4th show and I thought we done alright.  Thanks to Daniel Grosz for filming.



BINLICKER



Another fine example of new Brisbane music, Binlicker were great.  Half the band gimped it up and Shan dressed as his favourite Street Fighter character.



TIM & THE BOYS





Sydney bands rule.  Tim & The Boys were awesome.

BRICK BRICK / THE GOON SAX / BLOODY HELL / SOOT / CENTRE NEGATIVE - APRIL 20 & 21 2018

Poster by Heidi Cutlack.

Fun times in Nambour at everyone's favourite place to go The Time Machine.  Besides providing all your vinyl/VHS/Sega needs, they were also kind enough to put on this donation entry afternoon show.

BRICK BRICK

Our 2nd Brick Brick show and I thought we done alright.  Thanks to Glen for filming.


THE GOON SAX



Real nice set from The Goon Sax.  While putting this blog post together I discovered they have their own darn Wikipedia page.  I tried to make one for Kitchen's Floor awhile back and it got rejected because they said we weren't important enough or something so uh, well done Goon Sax.


BLOODY HELL



New band up from Melbz, Bloody Hell features Michael of Centre Negative fame and Joel of Men With Chips/Body Horror fame.  Brisbane's own Glen Schenau filled in on bass duties at the last minute.  He learnt all their songs while on the train to the show.


SOOT

 

After the show at The Time Machine we all waddled on to the train back to Brisbane where there was an impromptu house show at Thrill Hill.  Soot, one of Brisbane's finest new bands, took this dark little lounge room full of bleary eyed goon-kidz by storm.


CENTRE NEGATIVE



The night before was a show at Ric's with Pious Faults/Dez Thretz/Eyes Ninety/Centre Negative & Collapsicon.  Centre Negative from the mystical land of New Zealand played a great set, I spotted a few general randoms who wandered in looking a bit confused and annoyed by it all which was a laugh.  The crowd still demanded an encore though, and this footage is of that which is also a Chris Knox cover.  If only there were more shows at Ric's like this instead of the generic suburban rock stuff they've mostly been peddling the last few years.  Get back on the radar Ric's, like ya used to be.

THRILL HILL HOUSESHOW - 24 MARCH 2018

Poster by Heidi Cutlack

It's 2018 and the immortal Brisbane houseshow is back.  Red Hill and the inner west is where it's at.  This was a really nice show on a Saturday afternoon turned evening, with Karli White up from Melbourne along with Manners/Blend 42 From Outer Space/Glen Schenau/Brick Brick & Terorist.  Here is a pic of Glen:

And here is Brick Brick, a new band I'm drumming in with Heidi (Bent/Scaredy Snake) and Phoebe fkn BMX with a guest appearance from Tristan (Cannon/Manners). Our first show! In Heidi's laundry! This song is called Monsters:

This one is called House Show Song (working title):

You reckon we did a Placebo cover? Course we fkn did.

Karli White was fantastic, Manners were sublime, Blend 42 was from outer space and Terorist was Teroristic.

Party on you redundant blogspot travellers.
