That would be nice.

Best I can do is give you a WASP boxset in a fortnight and Harakiri in 3 weeks, though their singles haven't grabbed me like the early singles released from Maere did.

Reckon another new Overkill album & accompanying tour down under would be on the cards as well..

New Pyre album out at the end of the month. Perhaps a little less melodic than Lik but in the same ballpark.

Not sure if I've posted updates in the last few weeks.

Put out another Jack Harlon show. This is a good one, they get a bit jammy during the set.

Dawn, an all-chick doom metal band from Sydney. Seem to have been on hiatus since this show back in 2021. Slow and moody.

We caught up with Michael Moorcock again. Hilarious anecdote about how he demanded coke to do book signings.

Fly! Straight up rock'n'roll in the spirit of Motorhead, etc. Good band.

 

[backtozero]

Jack Owen right of stage too.

Yeah good stuff. Human Hecatomb is a ripper.

Watching T2 for the first time in a long time.

Classic.

We watched The Naked Gun last night; have never seen a 12 year old laugh so much. Sequel scheduled tonight.
