fulton girls club  said about 5 years ago:

do you have a link? i have never heard them, but i like the name.


TransientRandom  said about 5 years ago:

nah, i went looking for some sort of myspace thing the other day to no avail.

umm.. that was helpful!


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

there used to be a website but i cannae find it anymore. it had some great rambling on it.


TheRussianBrides  said about 5 years ago:

Was their last show that mandarin show where they were all drunk? i remember going to that one.


fulton girls club  said about 5 years ago:

anybody wanna throw in a decent description?


ClevelandRocks  said about 5 years ago:

Cool, way to cool for school.


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

fite


al  said about 5 years ago:

they played (sans toohey) at the peats ridge festival over new years.. but other than that they probably haven't played since that stupid mandarin show.. ahh, good times..

fuck myspace.


poprocks96  said about 5 years ago:

this is brilliant news. some gigs in melbourne would be even more brilliant....

keep me updated on when the album is out, tr.


al  said about 5 years ago:

no label sorted yet


TransientRandom  said about 5 years ago:

haha, likely RB!

the website was awesome! yeah, if anyone remembers back into the dark ages of street press when drum media's rival was somewhat credible and a young anonymite (is that a word?) by the name of "lancelot 2020" had a bloody hilarious column... anyway, to destroy all mystique that was dave cotsios. this is his band. i wish i could find the website too, filterfeed.

it's a hard one, fulton girls club. it sits somewhere between folk and pop, a little bit noisy, and not very "straight ahead" at all.

some vaguely related bands are founder and joe leonard and the family fuse.


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

occasionally i could hear a touch of big star. maybe neil young but i can't remember a single note at the moment. guess which record i'm listening to tonight?

i remember that name, transient. i also vaguely remember the concept of street press. never read anything much though, just looked at the pictures. except for those times i read that nick heath guys reviews. only to laugh at him though.


PsychedelicSounds  said about 5 years ago:

cool.

i loved their last album so much.

so varied but so good.

they are always a bit shit live though.


milesmonroe  said about 5 years ago:

they are amazing, i can't wait for some melbourne action. dreamy is the best word i could use to describe them.


emmy hennings  said about 5 years ago:

haven't seen nor heard these folks for an age.

browning, who remembers browning? toohey's band circa 2000? they were totally, totally fabulous.


BurtBacharach  said about 5 years ago:

their first album is brilliant, can't wait for the second. did they do it with Tony Dupe (sp?) again, or someone else?


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

browning were one of the first bands i saw regularly when i first started seeing bands in pubs and that. both releases ignored but both really fucking good.


TransientRandom  said about 5 years ago:

browning were fantastic!

is there a new kid cornered record too or did i dream that?


PsychedelicSounds  said about 5 years ago:

no i heard that too TR.


emmy hennings  said about 5 years ago:

ahah! new kid cornered. excellent. any info?

> browning were one of the first bands i saw regularly when i first started seeing bands in pubs and that. >both releases ignored but both really fucking good.

hear, hear. one of the first bands I saw regularly too. used to love it when they played with bluebottle kiss. when they ripped into 'the heart is a lonely hunter'... [wipes nostalgic tears from her eyes]

funtimes  said about 1 year ago:

Was talking to one of these dudes on Friday, good guy, he gave us a little ''something'' for the road, which was then sucked up in a vaccuum by a bumbling backpacker cleaner, good times.

What?! A show?!!! This is GREAT news!


poprocks96  said about 12 months ago:

Melbourne please. Tigers and I would be there for sure.


founder  said about 12 months ago:

oui. it would be great to see some of you there.

apparently the last show was may 2009... doesn't time fly?

also mixing of the new woods record starts next week, or soon-ish.


founder  said about 12 months ago:

melby! one day hopefully?!


poprocks96  said about 12 months ago:

sigh


founder  said about 12 months ago:

we share your pain!!


tigers  said about 12 months ago:

Pops and I will book & promote a melbs show as well as provide accommodation for the band if that helps a melbs trip happen. Mind you, I haven't asked her about this, but I'm sure she'd help.


flukazoid  said about 12 months ago:
