Hard to believe, but Melbourne’s Fabulous Diamonds will play their first show in Sydney in two years. The duo of Nisa Venerosa and Jarrod Zlatic will perform at The Sandringham Hotel in Newtown on July 25.
Presented by indie record store Repressed Records, the gig will also feature Holy Balm, Onani and Naked On The Vague (Lucy Phelan and Matthew Hopkins), who recently augmented their line-up with Lachlan (Crux, St Albans Kids) on drums and Nic (Ghosts of Television, Nhomea) on bass. The band debuted as a four-piece at an FBi Radio fundraiser at Serial Space in May.
Meanwhile, Fabulous Diamonds will support Mum Smokes when they launch their new double album, Easy/*House Music* at The Curtin Bandroom on Friday (June 26).

So very excited about this show.
All presale tickets (available from Repressed Records 356 King St, Newtown) and the first 50 people through the door will receive a free A3, two-colour print of the gig poster.
It can double as my Birthday party.
yesssss
Didn't Fabulous Diamonds support Pivot at the Oxford Art Factory last year?
Of course, I'm pretty sick right now with a stupidly high fever, so I might be delirious.
The last I saw Fabulous Diamonds was supporting My Disco's album launch at OAF early last year.
*Should say first headline show in 2 years. They also played with My Disco. I think both shows sold out so this is the first chance a lot of people will have to see them.
Free Choice 7'' will be for sale at the shows.....
sweet
I didn't dig them much with My Disco and Ohana but I'm willing to give them another shot.
Hilarious poster.
.....How is the poster hilarious in anyway? That the photo is upside down? .........
Is this like that awkward moment where you have to explain the joke and then the joke just seems dumb?
i might need to go to this......
I can just see the crowd reaction now. Similar to sydney swans fans when the umpire pays frees for arcane rules like deliberate out of bounds... 60 ppl scratching their heads and looking a bit miffed. I could be wrong though.
Wouldn't mind an impromptu Free Choice gig over this weekend. really digging the Fifth Column 7 inch.
Yeah Free Choice at Locksmith on the Sunday, PLEEEEASE
Hey I looked into booking a FREE CHOICE 7'' launch at Locksmith but they can only do shows on Sunday which means I can't do it as I'm leaving Sunday afternoon (and also means I miss the M-Squared Reunion show!) Anyone got any suggestions for a small venue on Friday for FREE CHOICE 7'' launch???
Ps. Gonna rock da haus.
Also; forthcoming Free Choice releases;
FREE CHOICE DUO / SUPERSTAR split cass. on Near Tapes live from the sets they performed on their recent tour. Free Choice Duo set is under the addles of a bad acid trip on one-half of the duo.....not that you can tell.
FREE CHOICE cass. on Night People, LIVE AT THE NORTH PERTH CHAPEL. Sweet hi-fidelity!
Look out.
That Perth FC set is rad as fuck.
Where did you get that from?
Here.
hows ticket sales looking for this..? will this sell out.. ? should i pre-buy?
I'm gonna pre-buy mine tonight. I reckon it will sell out for sure.
The new Fab D songs are fucking exceptional
bought my tickets last night
gig should be $40 +bf but whatever. Excited!
Shaun I think you posted in the wrong thread.Tickets are $12 to Fab D.
I said should be
thanks for the above link, astral!
Oh right, gotcha!
should be right getting tickets on the door, yes?
Pleasure. Some great stuff on there. He does a good job.
he should edit the 6 minutes of house music/people talking/soundcheck out of the free choice recording though.
Yeah. Oh well.
goddamn free choice are/is awesome.
speaking of awesome - how awesome are repressed records?
how awesome IS repressed records?
according to Repressed Records status update on Facebook, Onani has pulled out and Moonmilk added to the bill.
both good and bad news then.
Bad news. Moonmilk twice in one weekend?
Fuxors. And glee! If I've energy after the recital I'm going to in the arvo, might kick along to this one...
oh I really wanted to see the new Onani!
me too, there seems to be cosmic forces conspiring against me preventing me from seeing the revamped Onani (missed their last 4-5 support slots for shows i've attended)
Sorry about Onani everyone. Nic is really sick.. Moonmilk were nice enough to help us out so you still get your 4 bands for $12.
ha, i was just listening to this thinking the same thing. surely it's not that difficult. but man, free choice sound awesome. can't wait to see him/them
As I said, he probably should. Though, surely it's not that difficult to just skip through to the beginning of the set, either?
Still recovering from this. Holy Balm were amazing, get better every time I see them.
Yeah Holy Balm were untouchable
first time i'd seen em, won't be the last.
Holy Balm were phwoar. First time seeing NoTV as a 4 piece and I thought they were really great. Fab Diamonds were a bit off, putting a recording of their show up in the morning if anyones interested.
.
yep.
We'll be there!
getting in to sydney that night at about 8. hope i can catch some of this show. is marrickville far from the airport?
You're looking at about 10-15 bucks in a taxi dogvscats. Marrickville is closer to the airport than the CBD.
sweet! from my vague knowledge of sydney i thought it was, but that's good news. i hope i can make it!
