Sydney Spawn :: Demo Time

...16.02.10

Straight up: the coolest thing about this night is that the DJ will play your demos if you bring them along. That's instant airplay! That's a whole room of people hearing your music even instantly! You don't even have to book a gig, rehearse, whatever, you just get results and you get them FAST. So your music is crappy? No-one knows until it plays! And then it still gets played! So even though it's playing and it's crap and people's ears are bleeding and children are crying and people are struggling, fighting to exit the venue it's still an opportunity to be heard! Hooray! The DJ takes your demo home and listens to it properly, too, and then you might be considered for a gig at a future Sydney Spawn night.

The other cool thing is the great choice of bands, including Magnetic Heads, Ripping Dylans, Megastick Fanfare, The Maladies, and Line Drawings. It's $10 to see the bands but FREE to just hang out in the DJ room.

We expect to hear some new stuff from the bands, especially Magnetic Heads and Megastick Fanfare. The whole shebang is courtesy of FBi Radio and is a nice initiative that encourages new bands to get their music out there - a great idea following the Hoey fail.

It happens on Thursday, the 18th of February, at the Annandale Hotel.

Monster Mash :: Do It At The Annandale

...27.10.09

I am constantly disappointed every year that this costume or something similar is not made in a size that will fit me. It's always something less cool that I end up wearing. Children have the best options for costumes. As a child, I dressed up as a toothpaste bottle once. That's some serious costuming originality right there.

I really want a good costume because the party at the Annandale is going to be awesome. Seekae, Deep Sea Arcade, Richard In Your Mind, Tokenview, Megastick Fanfare, We Say Bamboulee and Kids At Risk will make up a large amount of the aforementioned awesome but I'd wager that some prizes for best dressed, magicians, live art, a human vending machine, trick or treat bags and potion punch would up the awesome-factor quite significantly also.

The only thing that pisses me off (aside from the inappropriately small sized dinosaur costumes dominating the dinosaur costume market) is that because everyone will be at this freaking rad event there is absolutely no chance of me having people around to my house as an excuse to decorate it with jackolanterns and fake spiderwebs or force my cat to wear something stupid. Fuck you, awesome party.

Anyway: Saturday, from 7pm, at the 'Dale, $17.
