Gin’n’Juice
Wednesday, May 14 2008
Brisbane collective The Gin Club just can’t get enough of serving up Junk (it’s the name of their album people, sheesh).

First they drop a new album, the appropriately titled Kes Band, then they’re being named one of the hot Melbourne bands to watch out for in The Age’s EG. But far from letting the accolades go to their heads, Kes are getting back to what they do best -- playing live. The band will launch their new album on May 9 a... Read News
The Snowman Cometh … And Goeth
Wednesday, May 7 2008
Have Snowman’s very existence been nothing more than a cleverly hatched plan to “get the fuck out” of Perth? Just months after dropping their new record, The Horse, The Rat and The Swan, the band will do a Devastations and relocate to the grassy green pastures of Europe. Not Berlin, however, but London, the home of fellow Aussie expat Peter Andre. In the meantime, there... Read News
