THE RUMINATERS /// RETURN TO CANTEEN w- THE JONES RIVAL
One of our favourite Sydney bands of all time is THE RUMINATERS. Anyway when we first started our RESIDENTS night they came along and hung out for a whole month with GOONS OF DOOM. Some good times were had and then they went away, visited some amazing places like USA, Venus and Mars and now they’re back!
They’re back with a brand new single called ONE GIRL AND A KNIFE. It’s a kick ass track and the video is pretty sweet too, hand-made and filmed on an iphone.
Anyway the boys return this Thursday to CANTEEN to play a one-off show and we hope you will all make an effort to get down there this Thursday. Pretty sure it’s going to be packed to the eye balls, so get there early and get yourself a good spot.
They will be joined by another Sydney band who are kickin some sweet ass right now – THE JONES RIVAL.
8pm free entry this Thursday. FO REAL!

SO BONDI BOWLARAMA 2013 GAVE SOME LOVE TO SOME OF THE BANDS WE LOVE
So we got a call from the good folks at BONDI BOWLARAMA and they said “could we get the hook ups on all the dope bands you guys know?” so we said “yeah! why not?” and then we hooked them up with music by some of our favourite bands. A few days later they came back to us with these dope videos and we said “thanks that shit is like WOW!”
It was a sick time last week in Bondi where some of the most amazing skaters poured into town to show Bondi how skating in a pool should be done, from the amazing Steve Caballero to Pedro Barros, our very own Jack Fardell to Bucky Lasek and even legends like McGill and Hosoi, dat shit was Hectic! So now some amazing bands will have a life long connection with these amazing legends till the internet ends. Radical!
So get your sk8 vibes on and check these videos out and listen out for the amazing bands.
More exciting things to come on the BOWLARAMA front too. So stay tuned!

FREE SHOW / NEW SINGLE /// THE JONES RIVAL & OLD TECHNOLOGY AT CANTEEN BONDI THIS THURSDAY
THE JONES RIVAL totally grew on us last year. Or did we just grow on them? No matter what all we have to say is damn these guys are fully sick!
Their approach to garage rock has a unique pinch to it, because what ever it is they are doing, well they’re doin a fine job of it and all we hear is good time party times.
Sydney is really winning the fight against lame music and THE JONES RIVAL have the power to kill people who don’t dance and replace them with groovers and lovers of rock n’ roll.
Check out their brand new single TELL YOU AGAIN below and get yourself ready for the good times cause they are ready to roll. Come see them tonight at CANTEEN. FO REAL!

BONDI RIOT NOT CRONULLA RIOT!
So many people came out to the Beach Rd Hotel last Saturday night to celebrate the Australia Day Weekend and locally made music it was not funny. You really had to be there to experience what went down, but from start to finish the bands that played all came out with guns blazing and the night was hands down one of the coolest parties we’ve put on to date.
The over capacity / sold out Beach Rd Hotel got down to the LIAR Awards 2011 Best new comers Bang! Bang! Rock n’ Roll and the awesome Valley Floor (qld) who both played tight sets, receiving mass appreciation from the early birds, followed by Mylee Grace & the Milkshakes who bought everyone together for a dance off du jour and so did Gerrringongs The Bungalows who played their best live set to date, starting the first of many sing-a-longs of the night. Betty Airs ruled the stage and their cover of Bad Moon Rising is second to none (record dat shit boys!). Sticky Fingers had all hearts in a flutter as they spread the soulful good vibes around the room. Then it was time for the Goons of Doom, well no one in this town knows how to rock a party like the Goons do, the party was well and truly on fire. With Killerwhale playing his return show with the Goons the gig was made all the more special, a night we will never forget.
Beautiful women, cool cats, punks and newbians gathered together and we all simply partied for the love of friendship, good times and music. Yes there were a couple of boofheads in the crowd pushing people around, so we apologize if anyone got hurt, but overall from all reports everyone had a ball.
Downstairs after the show looking around at all the sweaty and happy people it was like we had all survived some kind of war, a fight for the very survival of what we believe in – Our Music. And I think we’re winning. Holy Fuck!
Thanks for coming out to support these bands, they are worth all their weight in gold. Big thanks to the bands (go check them out!) and thanks to Meg (best door biatch), Sarah for the tunes! Jimmy for takin care of sound and The Beach Road, especially bar manager and the cool staff. And thanks to Bert Newton. Copland!
See you at the next Party!

R U OK? SERIOUSLY
Being depressed seems to be an accepted way of life in today’s society. It’s actually a massive silent killer. Many creative people suffer from depression and probably don’t even realise it.
Yes, turning to drugs and alcohol is a good social band-aid, but it won’t last that long. A state of not facing ones demons can be ignored for a while and yeah you can hide your sorrows, but what kind of life is that?
So todays big questions is R U OK?
Life is too precious and way too short for you to be sitting there with a scenario that can at least be helped by communicating with someone who cares.
We are now getting to the stage where we are losing too many special people to drugs, depression and suicide. If we can collectively come together and address these issues as a community, we can kill some pointless stigma’s and bring ‘depression’ out of the shadows. Lets help our friends who need a little bit of love today and even tomorrow.
Support R U OK DAY today and get down to THE WRECK, Bondi Beach this evening for some food, drinks and good times with some friends. Who knows? You just might meet some good people, have a nice conversation or even get inspired, which in turn might just be what we all need, someone to talk to. Alright!
So if you are not feeling ok please get in touch with someone you can talk to. If you can’t find a close friend then read and follow the links below.
Here’s some info:
R U OK? Day is a national day of action aiming to prevent suicide by encouraging people to connect with each other & ask: “R U OK?”. R U OK? Day does not provide crisis intervention or counselling. If you need crisis support call Lifeline 24/7 on 13 11 14.
Thursday 15 September, 2011 is RUOK?Day. A national day of action that aims to prevent suicide by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help stop little problems turning into big ones.
On that day we want everyone across the country, from all backgrounds and walks of life, to ask family, friends and colleagues: “Are you OK?”.
Because staying connected with others is crucial to our general health and well-being. Feelings of isolation and being alone are major contributing factors to depression and social issues that can ultimately result in suicide. Regular, meaningful conversations can protect those we know and love.
It’s so simple but in the time it takes to have a coffee, you can start a conversation that could change a life.
R U OK?Day does not provide crisis intervention or counselling.
If you need crisis support call Lifeline 24/7 on 13 11 14.
Or chat with Lifeline using their online crisis chat service (available 7:30-10:30pm AEST Mon-Thur) http://www.lifeline.org.au/Find-Help/Online-Services/crisis-chat

SAVE THE KILLERWHALE – TONIGHT!!
Life is crazy, one minute you’re screaming down the highway at 100 clicks, the next you are swimming in the vast oceans without a care in the world, life is just amazing. Then one day further down the track you get told you are sick. This is what happened to one of my dearest friends Killerwhale Tim (Goons of Doom), he recently got told that he had cancer, a rare one and the prognosis is good. All he has to do is have an operation to get it removed, so we are all hoping and praying (yes I said that word) for a miracle.
Luckily for us, we are surrounded by amazing friends with alot of creative ideas, so we decided to come together to put on a gig to help raise money for our homie Killerwhale. We have been overwhelmed by the love and support that we have received in return, not only from friends, family and fans alike, but especially all the supporters who have selflessly given us so much. At last count I think the prizes for the raffles and auction have surely hit around the $30,000 mark. Fuck all this war and shit, human beings have the capacity to be so amazing.
This event is going to be a special gathering of like-minded people who not only care about Killer, but they care for the cause that is life. So I am looking forward to getting down to the Beach Rd and soaking up this night with each and every one of those people.
What’s important about life is not the people you know, the have or the have-nots, the famous or the not so famous, what is important is what we can do for our fellow brother man, to me that is what being human is about, making the connection with the people who need us and being a part of that circle of life, which in return will give you good vibes to carry on with what you do from day-to-day.
Killer means the world to me and everyone who knows him, he is like a little brother and also someone who doesn’t have a boring bone in his body. So you can imagine what it’s like being in a tour can with him. He is also a loving husband, has a dog named Fizzy, is a talented singer, songwriter and has recently written some of the most special songs these ears have heard in a while. The new Goons record will definitely be proof of that. So as you can imagine, we (all his close friends) are coming together because Killer is that guy in our lives and we sure as hell don’t want that to change.
So on behalf of everyone who has gotten behind this cause for our beloved brother Tim, I just wanna say – Thank You.
See you tonight!!!!
Being positive is what we do
Making music is the jungle we rumble in
Spreading good vibes to all those who wanna hear it
The gospel is the Rock and the song is the Roll
Peace,
XR
