GOODGRIEF COMMUNE
GOODGRIEF COMMUNE
An Eventual History of Longue DuréesEndless Melt presents Goodgrief Commune’s debut release An Eventual History of Longue Durées: a punk-primitive free-noise triple cassette documenting the Melbourne via Tasmania faux-skronk aesthetic in all its harmonically oversaturated glory. Evidence of many inner-city days spent indoors, hitting record on a found cassette recorder, exuding shambolic sonics to be captured on a stack of found cassette tapes; and rolling till the spools ground to a halt. The results were crudely spliced together, bound up in a monstrous collection, and are now available by masquerading as an album.
An Eventual History captures a polyphony of mutant heart-wrenchers and hissed-out freeform beauty – if you can hear it amongst the scree, clatter and clang.

Snawklor, Melbourne International Jazz Festival
2010's festival within a festival, Overground, was an astonishing success; with hundreds packing the Town Hall in a day-long celebration of Melbourne's underground creative music culture.
This year, Overground returns for another history-making, multi-stage concert featuring a spectacular line-up of some of the most celebrated creative and improvisational artists in the world, including many collaborations exclusive to this Festival event.
Taking over the many lost spaces of the Melbourne Town Hall, Overground is an event where new sounds can be heard at the moment of invention, as the outer reaches of jazz and improvisation are explored by collaborating musicians. The extraordinary line-up of distinguished international guests includes Tony Conrad, Charlemagne Palestine, Yoshida Tatsuya and many more...
This six-hour, multi-stage mini-festival is a truly unrepeatable event showcasing Melbourne's underground music culture. Step in and be a part of its history!

RUBBISH MATTERS
The Wire's Byron Coley ranks the Rubbish Throwers 7" in his best-of chart for 2010 ('Rewind', January 2011). Sure, he makes a typo along the way but what the hell. This is as good a time as any to mention that the RT-7" was originally titled Tapeworms but the vinyl factory put the wrong labels on.
I'm not sure who bothers to sift through lists like this, so I've made it easy for you. A bunch of Australian stuff creeping in here, Rubbish Throwers, Super Wild Horses, Go Genre Everything and Exiles from Clowntown (who I highly recommend checking out). And it's worth sifting all the way through to Weyes Bluhd because that is some killer stuff right there:
April in the Orange
The Bent Moustache/Shrug
Jac Berrocal & Andrew Liles
Daymoon
Exiles from Clowntown
Go Genre Everything
Pheromoans
Stefano Pilia
Pumice
Rubbish (Throwers)
Super Wild Horses
JG Thirwell & Fred Bigot
Tsembla
Various (Solo Guitar)/Winebox Press
Weyes Bluhd
