Ska v Rockabilly + Unidiversity.

There should be a word that's like the opposite of double bill, like instead of two bands playing one show on one night , one band playing two shows in one night... like... billed doubly... or billedubbel.

In that case, we have an extreme case of billedubbel this saturday as we attempt what was formerly thought impossible: playing in sydney at the ska vs rockabilly and then in Canberra at Unidiversity. Check us out at both IF YOU DARE.

Also, Greenroom Band Explosion was awesome. If you weren't there, allow me to assure you that the Greenroom literally exploded with the force of 40 bands playing simultaneously.

NOT ME THOUGH I LOVE DOING WORK AND BEING STRESSED.

Thanks to everybody who rocked out with us at Carpathian on Thursday, also thanks to everybody who rocked out at Parklive on Australia day, ALSO thanks to the rad ska kids at the BMX festival last Saturday who rocked out. Whoa, that's a lot of rocking out! No really, you guys are awesome-core.

In terms of awesome-core news, the upcoming show at Greenroom on the 24th is going to be amazing AS IS the Unidiversity Festival at UC on the 3rd of March. Unfotunately we don't have anything lined up in Sydney at this point but we're going to have soon. You just trust me on that. In Melbourne, we're playing at the Espy with the ever exciting Porkers (Who are turning 20 soon, that is 20 years since they *were* 20 and started a band, so you do the maths). That show will probably not be very good, don't bother going. To Melbourne, that is.

This Weekend = Melbourne

In a move some have called "daring" and others have called "a show on Friday evening and one on Saturday Evening", Los Capitanes will be returning to Melbourne (also Melbourne-Town) on Friday.

On Friday, we're playing at the Espy in a super awesome lineup that also features the well noted Mach Pelican and the even weller noted Porkers. Among Many Others. The show literally goes all night and sounds insanely super awesome.

On Saturday, there is an all ages festival happening at Mooroolbark Community Centre that ALSO features us, the Los Capitanes, Mach Pelican and the Porkers. It's all organised by the government and stuff and has 1000 bands so I think it'll be MORE THAN JUST YOUR AVERAGE ALL AGES SHOW.

Anyway, we look forward to meeting a whole lot more awesome Melbourne people and I hope that if you are an awesome Melbourne person, you will want to meet us too.

Moruya Riverfest Saturday!

If you live in Moruya, or if you live near Moruya, or if you don't live near Moruya like us but have car or a hovercraft or a jetpack or something, you should come to Riverfest. NOT JUST, to see us although we'd like that, but to see a bunch of other super awesome bands like the Super Best Friends and Unpaid Debt.

The details are, I don't know the details, but I know it is on Saturday and we are playing at 12:40pm. SBF are at 3:40 and there are literally one million other bands playing. Rock.

Maybe I should have posted closer to the day, but I think I'm only scratching the edge of faux pas by offering belated thanks to everybody who was early enough at stonefest to see us (especially those who were up for some early morning skanking and hardcore dancing). We wanted to stay for the rest of the show but we had to instantly leave for Newcastle to play two other shows that evening.

Speaking of which, the all ages show right in the centre of Newcastle was one of the coolest shows I've been to in ages, big shoutouts to Emma and the other organisers as well as The Porkers and all the other awesome bands. And thankyou, musically-inclined residents of Newcastle, we can't wait to play more all ages shows and see you all again.

A "laid-back, toned-down, intimate atmosphere" show with the Casino Rumblers rounded off the night and we got a rare glimpse of the local Rockabilly and Punk population venturing out into the dimly lit Lucky Country dancefloor.

I don't know if you saw or not, but at Stonefest, Kieran pulled out his super-secret-special-going-off-fatality-finishing move. We like to call it "tidying up the walrus", but you can check out the picture above and come to your own conclusion.
