About time he got his own thread. New EP Middle Ground is out in stores now. Anybody heard it yet?


mswahili  said about 5 years ago:

Yers. Played it on Monday's show, I did. 'Action' is a great tune, and that other one with a riff that sounds vaguely like a Superchunk song...


monosylabik  said about 5 years ago:

i can't wait to get my hands on this. middle ground is such a great song.


monosylabik  said about 5 years ago:

...as are the others, but 'tis my favourite. ;)


socks  said about 5 years ago:

Haven't heard it yet, but he's fucking great, and the nicest dude ever.


fastcanoe  said about 5 years ago:

I've heard little bits over the place, stunning as ever. I hold my collection of Popolice tapes close to my heart from when he was an NZ based lad.. one of the finest moments to be magneticised is Marc's mum coming in mid song and asking about dinner.


anok  said about 5 years ago:

i love this man and his music is pop-smithery geniuq. the newey is more upbeat and danceable, for sure. i just wish it were longer! more exciting news to come for him later this year too, i hear.


fastcanoe  said about 5 years ago:

Spill the beans big boy! I don't feel like waiting till the weekend to ask him.


liamsnice  said about 5 years ago:

forceback is my favourite, but middleground is amazing too...

haha, i wish i could hear this


djbollocks  said about 4 years ago:

Last time I went in to Missing Link they had cassette copies of Mark's earlier albums. Well worth checking out I say.


kickcat  said about 4 years ago:

New band, The Welcome Fight (featuring Marc Popolice, Kerillee and Natalie) will support Go Genre Everything for their CD launch tonight at Loophole (670 High Street, Thornbury). Start time is around 7:30.


mulligan  said about 2 years ago:

Damn I wish I could make this. Have a good one.


hedgehog  said about 2 years ago:

Cheers mulligan... gotta hook up an Oldie gig!!!!!!


rosie  said about 2 years ago:

yea sounds good, but i've got plans too. loophole was chocked full of anarchists an hour ago when we walked past. might be a tough crowd... looking forward to checking it out sometime though :)


alpsofmessandnoise  said about 2 years ago:

could listen to popolice any day


hedgehog  said about 11 months ago:

This arvo at IDGAFF:

5 - Penguins
5:45 - Brain Drain
6:15 - Brain Drain Vs Popolice
6:45 - Popolice

The plan is to segue between the Brain Drain and Popolice sets so you will be subjected to non-stop music/noise for over an hour. Lucky you!

$5.


hedgehog  said about 8 months ago:

Playing tonight at Tote with Brain Cartridge Load Era and Ivy St. If you like listening to failed funk disguised in noise, this might interest you.


kickcat  said about 8 months ago:

have a great gig! :)


alec m  said about 6 months ago:

Popolice fans should know that a whole heap of his back catalogue is available to mail-order from http://wdybm.com for sensible prices. Tapes include the live one, Forceback, self-titled (or ''Early Popolice'') from the late 90s, and the CD's include ''Middle Ground'' and ''Improvisations for CD-R'' w/ Brain Drain.

There's also a really nice New Estate one which features one of the best songs I've heard of Marc's, ''Someone Else's Dream''. Totally amazing. And the two Enclosures tapes are up there too! Lots to indulge in. And willing to cut a deal/combined postage for anyone that wants to buy multiple things of course - whydontyoubelieveme@gmail.com

I'd also like to say his set last night at The Old Bar was awesome!
