admin — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 09:55:30 +0000

THE BENNIESは、2009年に結成されたオーストラリア出身の４ピースSKA PARTY PUNKバンド。

THE BENNIES (FORMERLY MXDONNX) ARE A FOUR PIECE BAND FROM MELBOURNE. INSPIRED BY THE CLASH, SUBLIME, AND RANCID, THE BENNIES CONSIDER THEMSELVES A PARTY BAND. ELEMENTS OF HIP HOP, PSYCHADELIC, METAL AND POP ALSO INFLUENCE THE BAND INTO THEIR OWN FUN LOVING STYLE. ALTHOUGH THE PUNK/SKA GENRE MAY SOMETIMES BE CONSIDERED DATED, THE BENNIES BREATHE LIFE INTO THE STYLE BY PERFORMING WITH EXTREME ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM AND AN UNBASHFUL LOVE TO PARTY. THEIR LINE-UP IS GUITAR, BASS, DRUMS, MICROKORG AND THE SINGER UTILIZES DELAY EFFECTS AS WELL. THEIR BOUNCY BASS LINES, FAST HIGH HATS AND FILTHY SYNTH NOISES ARE AN UNDENIABLE HOMAGE TO THE CLUB SCENE. THE LYRICAL CONTENT IS ALL NIGHT-LIFE LOVING AND GOOD TIMES ROLLING.

FALCONIO : THE EP HAS LANDED

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 14:00:01 +0000

RECORDED ON A SHOE STRING BUDGET WITHIN THE WALLS OF A MELBOURNE REHEARSAL ROOM, THE SELF TITLED DEBUT E.P ‘FALCONIO’ HAS FINALLY LANDED. THE MUSIC FOR MOST PART, IS INSTRUMENTAL MELODIC SOUNDS, THAT SWIRL INTO VIOLENT NOISE, WITH INFLUENTIAL NODS TO THE POST ROCK GENRE (THINK MOGWAI OR LOW AMOUNG OTHERS). OFTEN DESCRIBED AS A DRIVING SOUND TRACK, THE SONGS AIM TO TELL A STORY WITHOUT WORDS, UTILISING THE FEELING OF SOUND TO INVOKE IMAGERY, RATHER THAN LEADING THE LISTENER ON AN ALREADY WELL WORN PATH.

THE FIVE TRACKS RECORDED BY PUNK DUDE BRAD JOHNSTON BACK IN 2009 AT THE INFAMOUS BAKEHOUSE STUDIOS , AND MASTERED BY JOSH GRANT AT CUT-THROAT STUDIO ARE THE FIRST RECORDED INSTALLMENT OF THE BAND. HAVING SURVIVED THE INTERSTATE DEPARTURE OF DRUMMER SHARON WHITE, FALCONIO ARE YET AGAIN WITH TIME KEEPING DUTIES BEING FILLED BY GOOD FRIEND ANDREW ‘PUGS’ LYNGCOLN (SONS OF LEE MARVIN, HARVEST SMOKE, LAKE PALMER).

FALCONIO LAUNCH THEIR E.P THIS FRIDAY THE 5TH OF AUGUST AT VICTORIA HOTEL IN BRUNSWICK. STRONG SUPPORTS FROM THE LOW DOWN DIRTY SHAMES AND JULES & ANNA OF KIMBO. GET ALONG.

INTRODUCING: HARVEST SMOKE

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:28:37 +0000

HARVEST SMOKE ARE A GANG OF FOUR, PART PERTH BORN / PART MELBOURNE BORN, WHO FELL INTO THE SAME ROOM LATE 2010 TO PLAY SOME MUSIC FOR MAIN MAN BENNY J WARD’S FRESHLY WRITTEN SONGS THAT HAD BEEN PENNED ON A SIX MONTH ROAD TRIP THAT HE AND HIS WIFE NICI UNDERTOOK AROUND AUSTRALIA.

The trip was a sabatical of sorts having spent the majority of his post high school years rockin’ and rollin’ with his best mates in the Screwtop Detonators on numerous tours, shows, recordings, a re-location to Melbourne, and all the other general punk rock shenanigans the youth of yesterday undertook.
So, having driven a million kilometers through red dirt and redneck country towns, the red man himself – and one time ‘Lone Ranga’, (look it up) – stopped in Melbourne, called his Screwtop buddy LEROY FRENCH and said “I’m keen to play again, but this time I’ve written a stack of hits whilst killing time on the road – gold I tells ya, GOLD!”.
So looking to enlist a bass player and a drummer he called upon good buddies STU (Manchu) BANKO and PUGS LYNGCOLN (aka Knuckles) from Sons of Lee Marvin and before you know it HARVEST SMOKE was born. A few rehearsals and a couple of shows later, all of a sudden they’re in A SECRET LOCATION studio in Melbourne’s inner north east with Paul Mayberry smashing out their debut album ”MINOR INDUSTRY’. Covering power-pop to punk rock to country balladry, the album is a finely polished piece of work. Singing songs about a ‘CAT AND A DOG’ being in love to a violent thug protesting he ‘AIN’T SUCH A BAD GUY’ after all, and even penning lyrical magic about the combined nasal flavoured stench of ‘BUSHFIRE AND EGGS’ of the drummers’ beard.

The album is now done and is ready to drop. It’s set to be released on JULY 23rd, 2011 through Off The Hip (physical) and Bridge Sounds (digital). ‘Minor Industry’ Album Launch – July 23rd @ Yah Yah’s (Vic) w/ Swedish Magazines, Wrong Turn and Nici Blue Eyes.

Debut album available through Bridge Sounds July 23rd: Minor Industry
