House Vs Hurricane (pictured) premiered the first single off their new album on triple j’s Short Fast Loud last week and it was a fucking corker. Smacking of Everytime I Die with a slightly more melodic edge, it says good things about upcoming album Crooked Teeth. House Vs Hurricane will tour this winter to support the release. See them at EVs in Croyden on Friday August 3, The Hi-Fi on Saturday August 4 and Phoenix Youth Center on Sunday August 5.
Melbourne record label Casadeldisco are celebrating their ten year anniversary by throwing some parties for us.

In light of that gig almost selling out they then announced a second show featuring The Nation Blue, Sommerset, Blueline Medic and Grenadiers for Saturday July 21. Get your tix quick.
Tim Barry is returning to Australia this August. This August he’ll do a rather intimate run of shows including a spot at Melbourne’s Gasometer on Friday August 10. Buy your tickets now and lock in some gruff alt country sing-alongs and scotch.
