''Features artwork for those inclined towards my sexy masculine body.''

Which one are you? LOL!! ;-)

Cool. Look forward to hearing it.

Nisa is feminie deluxe. We'd be selling more units if she was baring her bare fruit if you get me...

I didn't want to, but nonetheless I did (get you).

Tell her happy birthday, everyone.

Excellent quality video of Fab Diamonds live at Super 8 fundraiser
But I just don't understand why it's called a Super 8 fundraiser when they shoot on video.

It's because that was at the show to raise moneys for the actual super 8 footage.
Fab D's were great at that show.
I didn't even watch them, but I was getting well high in the wings listening to it, best thing the whole day.

Why have a fundraiser to buy incredibly expensive Super 8 film stock when you can shoot on inexpensive video? Just seems silly to me.

But I agree with you Junkie, Fabs were amazing that day.

FAIL.. the fundraiser was to pay for the processing and telecine of the expensive super8 stock that had already been shot over the 4 years previous.

We shot video at both the fundraiser and launch party because it's cheap and immediate and served the purpose.

the choice of super8 versus DV is a question of aesthetic and discipline with regard to the project at hand.

That said FAB DIAMONDS put in a GREAT effort that day and I look forward to hearing their new stuff.

fabuloso!! excited to read this, though i'll be away for the launch.

still gots to get me some free choice.

ace. loved the record.

yay, exciting!

Fabulous Diamonds Farewell Show - Sunday 1st June @ The Tote‏

Melbourne minimal psychedelic youths Fabulous Diamonds dare to go global with the vinyl release of their new album Seven Songs on Siltbreeze and a US tour with skuzz junk Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit. Before departing they explore their otherworldly spirit on stage, with a final headline afternoon BBQ show at the Tote on June 1. Joined by the vintage-toned Crayon Fields, open ended psych rockers Bum Creek, ghostly tribal jammers Paeces and Brit folk-rock recreator KES in trio mode, it’s a community affair. Come early to avoid disappointment. $10 on the door. Doors at 5.30pm.

sounds GREAT

great album!!

No, not Fabolous' ''Diamonds''. Melbourne, Australia's Fabulous Diamonds are the kind of duo who would put back hair on the cover of their self-titled album and not name any of the songs. The kind of duo, in other words, who would chant like munchkin monks about ''acid casualties'' and ''stomach pumps'' and ''local cemeteries hosting witch ceremonies'' over rapidfire tribal drumming on the seventh unnamed track from that self-titled album, slipping the barely changing repetitions of Terry Riley into the stylized empty space of Young Marble Giants beneath a dubby thundercloud of reverb. Drum-machine claps jostle after this opening verse of sorts, the man and woman's voices alternating in calls of ''Apparently.'' The instruments build upon each other just like the layers of percussion, with melodica, electric organ, and alto saxophone (I think) sounding as if they were recently recovered from some haunted traveling circus. The LP, also called Seven Songs, has now arrived in the U.S. on Siltbreeze after an earlier release Down Under via Nervous Jerk, and Fabulous Diamonds are currently touring the U.S. with Columbus' own Times New Viking. This track? Absolutely a girl's BFF.

I've been listening to the vinyl LP and it's really, really good shit.

yeah it's awesome hey.

whoa!

great review on pitchfork

good work kids. indie darlings?

awesome, hopefully people will actually listen to them now!

Noice. It's been a good month or so for aus acts

a select few on hipinion always beat them off.... I just hope this doesn't mean no brisbane shows for a long time.

that can't hurt! well done lady and gentleman.

Wire Magazine has recognised the awesomeness of this album by listing it in the top 15 avant-rock albums of the year

this album is sounding perfect right now, in my beery fug

I listened to it on the way home 10 minutes ago. It was good. It's too short though.

yeah, i wish i'd bought it on CD instead of LP, it really sucks having to get up 12 minutes in when you're really into it

I'm listening too!!! I'm drunk on red wine. Fuckin' oath!

i'm listening to this at work on ear-plugs and eating hershey kisses. the office is mostly empty. i really wanna blast it from the speakers.

save some (hershey's) kisses for me!!

Is that some sort of kinky euphemism?

grizzle
