BTW Sanctuary dudes you put on a great show a couple of weeks ago at the Ian Curtis tribute gig at the Media Club in Chch.One of my favourite gigs so far of 2007,really well put together, captured the mood perfectly.
Ha! This story is out of it. What would he have done if he came home and his wife was having her way with two lions?
Below is the brand new video for Pig Out's first single off their 'Club Poems' album (released on Pinacolada Records last November) entitled 'Disco Bag'.The clip is shot by and used with many thanks to Ryan A Lloyd.Check it out!

Also don't forget to rebuild your back catalogue, just 'cos it's brand new doesn't necessary mean it's the shizzle...
Barnards Star Self -Titled EP
The Shocking Pinks 'Dance The Dance Electric'
Snapper 'Shotgun Blossom'
Bailterspace 'Thermos'
Gordons 'Future Shock'
3-ds 'Hellzapoppin''
That should keep ya awake at least....
Flock Of Seagulls 'I Ran'
Great song, though that vocalist keyboard player dude looks like he's having a seizure and trying to play and sing at the same time.Now THATS multi-tasking.
Quoting Jet from earlier in this thread: 'Did you ever hear Medicine? Their debut 'Shot Forth Self Living' is pretty damn hard on the ears (lots of high shrieky feedback) but is one of the few I can think of that gets into that wall of distortion, dreamy guitar stuff with psychedelic electronic bits.'
Woohoo! JET , that album is FUCKING AMAZING! High five for mentioning it, most people I know can't handle it either.The opening tune 'One More' kills me, interesting to see that Brad Laner (guitarist) was on the recent Caribou album in '05 and they sampled a riff from this tune as well.
This is the Medicine album that is an essential companion for an person embarking on taking 'shrooms....it all makes sense, at least it did back in '95!
Air 'Pocket Symphony' LP
Tigertones - 'Monday.Tea.8am.' (from CDr EP thingy)
The Police 'Reggata Le Blanc' LP
Flying Saucer Attack- 'Chorus' LP
Pig Out 'White Boy' -'Club Poems' CD
Ping Pong Bitches- 'Roc Ya Body' -12"
Slowdive 'Souvlaki Space Station' CD
Snapper 'Buddy' EP 12"
Hole 'Live Through This' CD
Dandy Warhols ' The Dandy Warhols Rule, OK?' CD
Fuck it, that's ten things I'm listening to, never could count to 5 anyway.......
Sorry Prozaco, you actually have to re-enact the clip that you want.We're not gonna teach you how to embed it.Me and Foal 30 are mean bastards like that!!!
Yeah, they are stuffing their gobs aren't they? Is there an award for 'Most Eloquent Use Of A Fork In A Commercial' at the next NZ Music Awards or something? The ad I saw last night had Carly Binding and Brooke Fraser using a fork in a semi-suggestive manner, and then featured Binding looking hell bored when Dave Gibson was ranting on about singing in a Kiwi accent.You certainly can spot the musos who went to a 'finishing school' and those who missed out through their table manners....
Also the ad where the Op Shop guy decides to question the group....I could not make sense of what he was asking at all!Does anyone understand this man?I noticed the woman from Charlie Ash was actually allowed to contribute to one ad, but seemed to be talked over by the rest of the group.And what the fuck are they drinking? Is Andrew Fagan really drinking a glass of Dobbyn's urine?
Food For Thought....
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Foal30's getting a bit cheeky on it and getting down to a bit of Milli Vanilli right now obviously...
'... b-b-b-ba-b-b-b-ba baby don't forget my number...' I can almost hear it from my house.
Seriously Ddub are the fucking business.How about a bit of the Black Seeds.What about a side order of Fat Freddy's Drop.And some Brooke Fraser for that Sunday morning hangover.OMG this stuff is so good.Almost as good as Simply Red but not quite, for that Mick 'Head Ginga' Hucknall is proof that God is a red head.
Wait up! (...downs the happy pills..).....dude, you'd be wanting to check out Pig Out 'Club Poems'.Go to www.myspace.com/pinacoladarecordsnz or www.myspace.com/pigoutfanclub and your soul shall be saved....
Awesome stuff Jet....I remember as a kid that the Peking Man video was the future in 1985...now it just looks like a ballet dancer on P!
I'd like to put forward Milli Vanilli 'Girl You Know It's True' as a classic bad dancing clip.....
Awesome stuff, I'm jealous.
I heard he did a freaked out fusion cover of Elemeno P's 'Verona'....is this true???
Yeah, I agree that it is time for a rebrand of NZ Music Month.The idea is limited as it is, and the backslapping is just painful.A whole months worth of back slapping. Not to mention televison making even less of an effort to go out and check out what's really happening in the clubs, bars, fields....where's the NZ MM TV special on things like A Camp Low Hum? Surely there could have been some foresight used to document culturally significant gigs like these...We have plenty already on the bbq reggae side, but what's really happening in the underground of Welli? What's up in Chch and Dunedin? I'll tell ya what.....plenty.But, as NZ music continues to 'suck corporate cock' all we are left with are the embers of an industry that is dying....this month should have us all asking 'Why?What's going wrong?How can we make it/do it better?' rather than 'OMG we are so fucking awesome I just wanna roll round in a bathtub full of Pavalova'.
What you don't get to see are where the musicians hands are in this ad....or the boxes of tissues on the table...
Hey Jimi, I had just about forgotten about the shot of Dave Dobbyn.I agree on the Yoda thing, and he looks like he's just been dragged out of bed to do this ad.The sheer look of bewilderment on his face....awesome.This ad operates on so many different levels and is wrong in so many different ways...
Yeah, god knows what went down there..that editor really has it in for that Elemeno P dude. I'm pretty sure something outrageous might/could/will happen...I reckon the Opshop dude will go ballistic with a 9mm pistol or Andrew Fagan will piss on the table.Either way, it's far more interesting view than this 'Shortland Street:2gether for 15 years' bullshit on TV2.Screw that.This C4 ad could be the new soap opera.The realities of the NZ Music Industry played out over a gluttonous meal...it's like the Last Supper.Or maybe this will be the last NZ Music Month?Seems to me the marketing team are running out of ideas/angles.....at the very best Andrew Fagan might get to mud wrestle with Brooke Fraser....
Yep, sounds like you need to get out of Timaru in order to preserve your sanity.Interests me that only 5 peeps turned up to a d'n'b gig there....being a completely stereotyping plonker I would have thought that dark d'n'b and Timaru would go hand in hand....Timmers with its staunch metal roots and hardcore d'n'b aren't that far from each other.Oh well.
Anyway, I'm originally from Invercargill, so I know how grim things can be Russ!Time to revert back to house parties at yours, fuck the bars!
