...at the fabulous Builder's Arms in Gertrude street, this Friday March 5th.
Comprising members of The Stabs, Assassination Collective, DAR, the Gruntled (Syd) etc the behemoth of the Paul Kidney Experience is a monolithic beast that defies contemporary pigeonholing. Having completed their first recording and having it set to be the debut release for the Sunshine & Grease Label, they bring their sound to The Builders Arms for the first time on Friday 5th March.
Able support is provided by Battlesnake, a rollicking, ferocious, whooping and hollering three-piece channelling music from the radiant fields somewhere between James Brown, Sonic Youth, DJ Krush and The Necks – their last show before trips interstate. They've never played the same song twice and don't expect to start now, mixing hypnotic krautrock grooves with the lurching drunken left-hand turn at the heart of the psychedelic experience.
Openers Alexandria promise to set a tone that will challenge all followers with their prog twist on a noisy affair. Serene abstract beatific restraint meets hip-shaking, fists-in-the-air party starters with free form noise along the way – how could you miss it!
Get on it...

Tonight, you chat freekz.

i wish there existed an official licensed Paul Kidney Experience Colouring-in Book. i'd buy that for a dollar. or even several dollars!
There kinda is pagey!!
Most cd's arn't as coloured as the poster above... you can colour thems in any whay you like!
BREAK OUT YOUR PENCILS!!!!
ha! that is quite awesome JRB. and it almost doubles as a join-the-dots!
I'm now tempted to make a whole bunch of these pictures, abuse the printing and stapling facilities at work and create an actual colouring book to give to people at the gig...
DO IT! and feel free to appropriate any of my kidney images from here for this noble cause.
Righto, that's a challenge. As an added bonus the gig is the night before my final day at work and it is a long standing tradition of mine to have a raging hangover on my last day at work. I'll do it and see you there.
Whee!
i will personally buy you a beer if you present me with a copy of The (Un)official Paul Kidney Experience Colouring and Activity Book.
