Thought these guys deserved a more general thread that wasn't gig-specific...

I highly recommend the (not-so) new Aesthetics LP 'Ugly Ambition'. Killer propulsive scuzz noize skronk rock!
Looks like there've been a couple of Crude shows already, but here's what I know of the rest of the tour:
Thurs 21st Oct
· The Aesthetics, Dead Ants Rainbow, Heavy Turkey, Helter Skelter - workers
Fri 22nd Oct
· The Aesthetics - warehouse party, venue TBA ??? [any info would be appreciated! Though probably best not to post the exact address here for a warehouse gig...]
Sat 23rd Oct
· The Aesthetics, Panel of Judges, Zond, Hissey Miyake - tote
· The Aesthetics - pony 2am
Fri 29th Oct
· PITS, Automating, Crude - sunshine & grease
anyone know if there are any Sydney dates planned?
I'm keen to try to make it to one of these shows. I've been trying to find some of their stuff for download with no luck, any leads?
Just Melb apparently. I think they were planning a Sydders show, but it fell through.
cooper - HEAPS of Crude material is available for download, but Aesthetics stuff is pretty much streaming-only.
Big fan of all of Matt's bands, really quite bummed that I'm out of town this weekend and going to Low this eve so I'll end up missing all the Aesthetics action. 'My Right To Riches' is a slice of skronkfuzz history.
Want me to grab you a copy of the LP, hellza? It's really very good. Bonus CD 'Go to Hell' comes with it too.
I'd love one but my bank account says 'fuck up cunt'.. I own everything else they have done.. alas.
Small crowd but they destroyed tonight. By far my favourite upside-down+back-to-front gtr playing, shawm-squawking New Zealanders.
You guys who went to Low instead missed out bad.
After seeing them both times last night I feel like this. And Low were as wonderful as they always are
Yeah I wasn't dissing Low either really - I like 'em but wasn't in the right mood.
I'm kinda regretting not going to Pony now, even though I usually regret going to Pony.
Glad the Tote show was well-attended. Seemed like everyone was saying 'where have this band been all my life?' Sigh. No-one listens to me.
Great band. Took me a long time to see them (ten years?), the Tote show was really something and the latest LP is equally enjoyable.
Someone from M+N should bug them for an interview - Frankie?
Infuriatingly missed the Aesthetics at every show so far, heard they were great.
Crude on Friday though.
They were incredible at the tote show and good at pony despite some tech issues and the pony factor.
Grrr. Apparently the Aesthetics played a secret show at Sunshine & Grease last night. Would've been there if I'd known.
Oh well. Crude Friday.
That's tonight!
yes. 8pm
Matt Crude is apparently based in Melbz now. XCITING.
He certainly is, going to be good.
OFF on right now.
He has already played a couple of shows. They were pretty good. Looking forward to more, I feel you never know what you are going to get.
I really loved the Aesthetics show last night. This song was especially good: http://youtu.be/w63Q6WDtSBE
