EXHAUSTION / NUN / ANGEL EYES / SECRET BIRDS

Secret Birds return to Melbourne to bring haze-psyche tones to the Gasometer, playing selections from their forthcoming NO KINGS cassette "In Hex". Also appearing on the bill is Melbourne's favourite son ANGEL EYES, who's just released a killer on MOON GLYPH entitled "Vice To Vice", and has completed his long awaited BEDROOM SUCK release. Expect heavy burners.

Rounding it out are new synth/noise/darkwave monsters NUN, featuring Jenny Branagan, live records spinning from PSYCHEDELIC COVEN DJ Kate Reid, and a mystery first show from EXHAUSTION, rumoured to feature members of Deaf Wish and Ooga Boogas, but is there really any way to know? Sure, see you at the show.

BONE / SNAWKLOR / RATSAK

Monday Night Mass. Free.

The killer BONE play their first show for 2012, before they disappear again for a while by the sounds of it. CHECK THEM OUT WHILE YOU CAN.

BONE is an Australian post-hardcore band formed in Perth in 2006. They have a raw, noisy, groove based sound that has been compared to early 90's noise rock bands like Shellac and The Jesus Lizard, as well as more contemporary 'math' acts like Battles and Oxes.

SNAWKLOR is a decade long musical collaboration between visual artists Dylan Martorell and Nathan Gray. Snawklor as a duo make improvised electro acoustic music and sound installation with whatever is at hand exotic instruments, field recordings, toys and electronics. As a trio with Duncan Blachford on drums they explore the possibilities available only in louder volumes.

RATSAK is a new band featuring Mark Groves (True Radical Miracle/Dead Boomers, Harriet Hudson (Circle Pit/Downtown), Kirk Scotcher (Kromosom/Bloody Hammer), and Jared Styles (Flesh Word/The Zingers).

PAUL KIDNEY EXPERIENCE with MANI NEUMEIER

ICEAGE PRODUCTIONS are proud to present the launch of the new Paul Kidney Experience album "PAUL KIDNEY EXPERIENCE with MANI NEUMEIER".

This is the 5th release for Melbourne Psych/Noise/Jazz/Drone/Rock outfit the Paul Kidney Experience. Mind melting psychedelic mayhem unfolds across this 4 track album featuring the drumming prowess of 70’s Kraut Rock legend Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru. Recorded live at 3PBS radio station in Melbourne this improvised set is full to the brim with frenetic riffage overlaid with the banshee like howlings from the high priest of musical carnage Paul Kidney. Although inspiration may well have derived from the likes of Sun Ra, Coltrane, or The Stooges this album (as with all P.K.E. releases) often seems peerless and from another dimension altogether.

With special guests: SNAWKLOR.

Snawklor is a decade long musical collaboration between visual artists Dylan Martorell and Nathan Gray.

Snawklor as a duo make improvised electro acoustic music and sound installation with whatever is at hand exotic instruments, feild recordings, toys and electronics. As a trio with Duncan Blachford on drums they explore the possibilities available only in louder volumes.
