Poison City Records are going to celebrate their ten year anniversary later this year and they’ve booked in two huge shows in December to ensure the event is as memorable as possible. Blow off your work Christmas party plans ‘cause these ones are going to be a blast. Thursday December 19 sees Harmony, Lincoln LeFEvre, Infinite Voice, Apart From This, Freak Wave and PostBlue play at The Gasometer. Then The Rev will host The Smith Street Band, The GIfthorse, The Bennies, Paper Arms, Clowns and Daysworth Fighting on Friday December 20. Tickets are available from Thursday via the Poison City E-Store.
Vans Warped Tour have added a couple extra acts to the 2013 tour. Everyone’s favourite Swedes Millencolin are on board, as well as The Amity Affliction, Reel Big Fish, Confession, Hands Like Houses and Buried IN Verona. It was revealed this week that the Melbourne leg of the tour would take place on Saturday December 7 at Birrarung Marr on the Yarra River. AJ Maddah tweeted that the venue change was to avoid due to “too much of a shitfight with so many juicers and pillpoppers next door for Stereosonic”. He later apologised to Stereosonic organiser Richie McNeill saying his comment was “totally out of line”.
Cosmic Psychos have had a truly psychotic year. These blokes have enjoyed the success of their doco Blokes You Can Trust as well as a hugely successful Australian and US headlining tour. They’re now booked in for one last gig at The Espy on Friday November 1 in support of the documentary’s DVD release. They’ll be back on the road next year for Big Day Out duties.
The Hits and Pits crew have revealed that No Fun At All will play a sideshow while in Melbourne next month. You can see No Fun At All on Thursday November 21 at the Gasometer with Clowns and Beaver. There are only 150 tickets on sale and they’ll disappear pretty quickly. Tickets are still available to the Melbourne Hits and Pits festival featuring Boysetsfire, Black Flag, Bad Astronaut, The Ataris, Snuff, Good For You, Jugheads Revenge and Off With Their Heads at The Palace on Friday November 22.
Local band Clowns have had to cancel their scheduled show at Geelong’s Dive Bar on Saturday, so will be replacing said show with another Melbourne gig. Their launch at Public Bar sold out in an hour last weekend, so if you missed it, make sure you get to the Gasometer on Saturday night to see them smash out tunes from their new album I’m Not Right.
