Poison City Records will celebrate their tenth birthday next month by chucking two rather huge shows at two of Melbourne best live music venues. That’s the good news. The bad news is that if you’re reading this and haven’t hunted down tickets yet, you might just be shit outta luck. You know what to do. Get on the forums and funs a way to get to The Gasometer on Thursday December 19 (Harmony, Lincoln LeFevre, Infinite Void, Apart From This, Freak Wave, Postblue) or The Reverence on Friday December 20 (The Smith Street Band, The Gifthorse, The Bennies, Paper Arms, Clowns, Daysworth Fighting).
Boys Of Summer 2013 has been announced. Blessthefall will headline the annual tour, alongside Like Moths To Flames and The Colour Morale. Locals will be added in each city (if you’re interested in scoring a support slot, drop Destroy All Lines an email. They’re hunting for new talent!). All happening at Arrow On Swanston (AA) on Wednesday January 15 and the Corner Hotel (18+) on Thursday January 16. Tickets from Thursday October 31.
The Locust will tour Australia for the first time ever in February. After a decent hiatus the band will head south, don their signature full body nylon suits and hit the Corner Hotel on Friday February 7.
Well this is fairly hilarious. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has said that the band have been contemplating selling their ‘leftover riffs’ online. He reckons the band might end up selling their riffs on eBay considering “some of them are actually quite decent, but we won’ t be able to use all of them”. Now the big question. Would your band admit to including a bona-fide Metallica leftover riff in your new song, or just chuck it in there and hope you can pass it off as your own?
