2 Litre Dolby

I have El Caballo Rojo as I'm sure do many others here, as well as the Fist Fit / Wrong Compass 7'', which is really great.

most of 2 litre dolby are in a new band called...something.... um trans atlantic? north atlantic?? something like that. good story. i do know they are playing at the old bar oct 7th

North Atlantic I think. Not that 'new' though - been going for a good five years I'd say! It's Leif's band. I think Craig might be in it too. Is Leo still in that folky thing that I didn't like much and forgot the name of? Small Knives?

yes. small knives is leo and some other dude.

this is going to sound stupid but the song i heard was really slow and dark, heavy & building, no vocals. i want to make sure I purchase the right one

they only made the one record right??? red cover

Yeah, that was probably one of the tracks from El Caballo Rojo. It was out on Half A Cow. Not sure if you can still buy it but you can download it here: Lost and Found Music Library

tis still available from half a cow

Alongside Bidston Moss LOLOL

:D

there were two tracks on the wonder from a quarter acre compilation too. both i think were early versions of album tracks, though only one of them was an official album track, the other was secret ooooOooOOooooo!

one of the best bands i've ever seen live - and i followed 'em around, so i saw 'em a lot.

there's another track on a different comp. cd - from the same sessions as the WFAQA compilation and the first 7''.

a split with ART OF FIGHTING too. 'rower on the river of death' perfect.

apart from good hip hop, i maintain this band creates the best music to smoke weed to. seriously.

we were lucky to have them...fuckin' truly world-class.

oddly, I found a box of the ''Wrong Compass'' 7''s while going through my storage so it's still in print! (kind of!) PM if you wanna purchase one.

From memory you could rewind past the beginning of the first song for a bonus track on this record, when that kindof thing was all the rage.

Hahaha. I think the band would probably have agreed!

In addition to being pretty great songs, I really just love how fuzzy and thick everything sounds on this 7''. I recommend getting it if you like this sort of thing.

Fist Fit was a stunning 7''.

bump. hey let me get rid of the last 11 copies of the stunning ''Fist Fit'' / ''The Wrong Compass'' 7'' .... just found the stock but people need this, so proud of this one. PM for copies! yess (yes, with 2 x S's) indeed!
Sorry, make that 9 copies.

anyone have copies of the album lying around?

You can still find it around sometimes, lalori - I know Polyester had some pretty recently.

This is true. It's a great song too.

northatlantic ARE playing at Old Bar on Thurs 7/10 - I think it's just Leif & Skull this time and they are great.

skull is now in a new band called Tender Bones..

El Caballo Rojo is just pretty fucking good... Are there any other recorded works out there? Anything someone might upload for me?

I have a weird CD-R with some kind of computer-printed inlay that purports to be a JJJ session (maybe home and hosed?? some kind of local music) with either 2 or 3 tracks from around the time El Caballo was released. Goes for around 17 mins if I recall.

If I dig it up sometime soon I will try to put it in gmail.

That would be awesome if you could, thanks.

I've got a copy of the 7'' I never listen to. I could probably be persuaded to part with it.

See above, Tim_Marben, about the Fist Fit/Wrong Compass 7.

I'd be keen for that, Unvisible!

Carwashair! Put it in the gmail. PLEASE.

Heard and saw it a few months ago so it should be around somewhere.

If i remember rightly, there's some mention of Wentworthville on the recording. Is that where the guys came from? Wasn't a very 'indie rock' suburb in the mid-late 90's...

Playing a set next Friday 18 May in the Grace Darling basement bar. ''It's not a reunion, it's a buffoon-ion!''

Also playing are Tender Bones, and King Shit & The Golden Boys (a Guided By Voices tribute/insult band, featuring a cast of has-been loser-rock celebrities such as Skull and ... err ... me). All humans welcome.

I wonder if I can get to Melbourne next weekend .... seriously considering it.

In response to the previous question, a couple were from Wenty I think. It wasn't so apparent on the surface but there was a bit of indie rock around those parts in those days, Gerling came from Greystanes.
There used to be decent gigs at the Collector Tavern in Parra sometimes.

playing again!? whaaaaat? that's crazy.

Seems ill-advised.

They have a few times over the years just under false names. But to see them billed under their real name is very exciting indeed.

hey ron... you got an estimate time for the dolby set that night?

... and an estimate for the King Shit & the Golden Boys playing time?

Good news.

Is there a facebook event? I need to let everyone know where I'll...I mean, I have trouble remembering upcoming gigs.

We should have news on this tomorrow...

neato. it's clashin' with other stuff i wanna see and i wanna work out logistics!

i will be at this gig. oh yes. re: the GBV tribute band, let me know if you ever need another guitarist.

Heinrich said 7 hours ago: Is there a facebook event?

Tis here...

First band at 9:30 but I'll post more accurate times when I know them. Hopefully this will be before the gig.

Tis here...

It doesn't seem to be, but thank you all the same.

Nevermind, I found it. Now all my e-friends will know where I'll be. Phew.

http://www.facebook.com/events/382001325174977/

Does anyone have playing times? The event seems all over the place.

short interview with Craig coming up this morning...

Can you ask about playing times? Thanks.

CALL THE VENUE!

why, is prince going to be there?

Here's yer stinking playing times:
2 Litre Dxlbx 9.30
King Shit & The Golden Boys 11.00
Tender Bones 12.00

Oh, & it's free.

The event start time on facebook is 9.45pm, they should change it.

Skull's not keen on providing accurate information.

This event page seems to have the least wrong information.

short interview with Craig coming up this morning...

opportunity missed: shoulda done an article about how there was an interview coming up.

Tonight. May or may not involve Prince, any/all of Public Enemy, the cordial from the Jonestown Massacre (in person) &/or Osama Bin Laden.

Also GBV tribute set now Donna Summer tribute set.

great gig.
