Melbourne thrashers King Parrot have revealed a release date for their long awaited new album. Dead Set will come out on Friday May 15 and the band will return to Australia to tour extensively in support. See them smash The Corner Hotel on Saturday May 16 with High Tension and Collosvs.
So keen to see Wilhelm Scream smash out a set at The Evelyn next month. Even better to see that Anchors and Tigers will support at their Thursday April 30 show and Anchors and Post Script will bring some bodies to the Friday May 1 show. There are still tickets for the April gig but they will disappear shortly.
The Decline reckon Giving Up Is A Gateway Drug and despite the loss of a couple of members last year, the Perth band aren’t about to call it quits anytime soon. The punx are touring internationally later this year, but before that they’re lapping our land and landing in Collingwood to play Bendigo Hotel on Wednesday April 15 with Foxtrot, Max Goes to Hollywood and Del Lago.
Matt Skiba played his first shows with Blink 182 over the weekend and damn, it’s pretty funny to see him channelling his inner 15 year old to fit in with the Blink aesthetic. It’s a bit of a change from the morbid Skiba we’ve always adored in Alkaline Trio videos. Speaking of, Skiba has stated recently that he has no plans to leave Alk3 despite what must be tremendous commitments with Blink. Meanwhile Tom DeLonge has announced he plans on releasing four albums this year. Ambitious.
Soundwave have locked in next year’s east coast only festival dates already, putting to rest any speculation the festival won’t return after rumoured losses this year. The festival will be pinching Big Day Out’s traditional dates and running through the Australia Day long weekend in January – more than a month earlier than usual. The event will also return to a one day only format and will arrive in Melbourne on Tuesday January 26, the Australia Day Public Holiday.
Deez Nuts will pair with excellent Kiwi band Antagonist AD to promote both bands’ new releases. Earth Caller and Relentless will support nationally and open up proceedings at The Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Saturday June 13. Tickets are available from Thursday March 26. Deez Nuts’ new album Word Is Bond is out on Friday April 24, while you can grab the new Antagonist LP from this Friday.
Miles Away dropped a bomb last week revealing they’ve got a new album in the works. Resist will put the record out on Friday May 8 and it features guest appearances from members of Bane, Cleave, and Dreamtigers,as well as A Death In The Family’s Jamie Hay. See the band play live at Northcote Social Club on Thursday May 14. Tickets are available now.
