Christmas and an even better New Year, Catch ya in 2007!
2 November Well we played little ol Batlow a week or so back which was a heap of fun, the set up was cool our stage was a Batlow Apple Semi trailer. We may have missed the Caulfield Cup but to compensate we had stock horses head banging while we played, now that's a first.

Hey Guys, well its been a while
between updates,
Huge Thanks to everyone that voted for us
for the Peoples Choice in the Canberra Music Awards, your all champions
we really appreciated it! 13 April What can I say UCU Bar was nuts, 800 people going off. We had a blast, the crowd was bloody awesome, cheers for getting amongst it all. Hats off the Ferdi from ZDAF for putting together such a sick show and to all the bands After The Fall, Using Three Words and Zero Degrees and Falling, a show to remember. The following night at Pete's was awesome too, good crowd there to celebrate Witty Son's 18th and farewell Sam, I must say there's only one way to be on your 18th and that's off chops with a golden beer bong. Cheers to the other bands Darkest Day, Eldest Son and Stolen Exit great night.
Well we're having a little break
from shows over the next few months, we'll be back soon stay tuned! 24 March How Good was Indyfest! We had a sick time, the crowd was awesome, all the bands we saw rocked. There was a real festival atmosphere, cheers to Bruce and Gaz and all involved with the day. And after all the huff on the new crowd barrier in the Green Room it turned out to be a good move encourages the crowd to get up front, gives the bands something to launch off (which we do not endorse) and it also makes for some good leaning later in the night.
Now on Friday
(31 March) we are supporting
After The Fall @
UCU Bar, Bruce,
its licensed All Ages (that means if you can drink you can if not you
can still come along). Also playing are
Using Three
Words and
Zero Degrees and Falling.
Then on Saturday
(1 April) @
Pete's Bar & Tavern
we are playing our last show (John Farnham style, so we WILL be back
later this year) along with Wollongong's
Darkest Day
and local young guns
Eldest
Son and
Stolen Exit. 24 February Well I guess its about time for a bit of an update, and have we got some news for you. First off we have to thank all the people that have come along to our shows @ Sound Underground with The Brazen Hearts, Nine Iron and Stolen Exit and Pete's Bar with The Brazen Hearts, Argyle State and The White Lie a month or so back. Over the Weekend we played a couple of shows on the Coast, the first was down in Moruya with our good mates Lamexcuse and Switch 3 @ The Waterfront Hotel, so mush fun great vibe down there, cheers to Drew and the boys for getting us down. The next day we headed up the coast to the Gong for a show @ Oxford Tavern with Argyle State and Kampei. You could say we were still a little dusty from the night before and we all know there's only one way the get through that! So cheers to all that came along to the shows great weekend away!
Okay you probably know by now that
as of April we will be having a few months off from playing shows while
Sam is
going off gallivanting around the Americas. Before this you can catch us
playing the All Age
Indyfest
@ The
Green Room
on
Saturday 18 March, we're also stoked to announce that we
will be playing with
After The Fall
@ the UC Bar for a licensed all age show along with
Zero
Degrees and Falling, cheers to Ferdi from Zero and Interact for
hooking us up with this. And finally you can catch us @
Pete's Bar for our Last Show
till late '06 along with
Darkest Day,

Top 40 releases of 2005, we didn't quite make the cut, but hey.

This Saturday evening at The Green Room sees us playing alongside Irrelevant, Unpaid Debt, Ebolagoldfish, Lamexcuse, The Brazen Hearts and Moments!! It’ll be one hell of a party kicking off 6pm sharp, $2.50 beers till 8pm great bands and only $15, so make sure your down there early. If last years show is anything to go by this is one not to be missed, see you there!! Well we spent the
weekend up in Sydney town, fortunately missing all the bullshit going
down there. Friday we played at the Cat & Fiddle, Balmain along side
My Name Is John, Stifler and The Landspeed Record, a lot of fun. For some
reason the drunkest of us was left in charge of navigating us back
through the City to our Randwick Hotel, with only one wrong turn might I
say! Cheers to all that
came along both nights and the band we played with, we had a great time
and look forward to coming back! 22 November - Well its been a little while since I've updated (sorry Cuff), so here we go... A couple of weekends back we played @ Your Street Party as a part of The Belconnen Community festival. Was a pretty cool day along with Never in Doubt, Strong Like Sam, Australian Kingswood Factory and Twintanks. Thanks to all that gave there support especially the lads that wrote our name on Benjamin Way top stuff. Cheers also to organisers for putting it all on and to Damo from Outtahear for the sound. I've gotta give a Big shout out to Sophie Luck 'Fly' From the ABC's 'Blue Water High' for putting up with us and signing our arms, hope you enjoy the Cd's and shirt.
Well this weekend just past was up to
the Penrith PCYC for Flagon and
Lames
first road trip together. I can't say much for the show, lots of
scenesters hanging out the front while Lame opened the night, 3 other
bands (you know who you are) got a bit of a crowed then when it was time
for us to go on all headed back out to "hang" like good scenesters do.
At least the drinks back at the Top Pub really went down well,
cheers to those that were there for the music and did stick around.
