New track from Baptism here:

So how do we pronounce Einstürzende Neubauten then?

Einstein Nerdburger

ex-benedict.

Two part Human and one part machine (The enigmatic 'Box') CIVIL CIVIC have been creating quite a stir in Europe over the last couple of years. Touring like animals playing festivals with the likes of Spiritualized and The XX, hyped up by UK press (NME, Q, Artrocker, The Guardian, Clash) and buzzing around the blogs with enough speed to land them at the pinnacle of blogdom: Number 1 on the HypeMachine charts.

There's a question that most journalists end up wishing they never asked, where is CIVIL CIVIC from? One guy lives in Barcelona, the other in London, they are both Australians, but CIVIL CIVIC have never played in Australia. So where is the band from? Who's to say?

Well now to make the story straighter, for the first time ever, CIVIL CIVIC will be touring the home of it's creators. And it is eagerly anticipated by their die hard fans. So come and cop their giddy, fizzy, pummelling, melodic sounds as the CC noise machine drops a bomb on home turf.

Civil Civic's 'album' RULES released February 1 on LP, CD and Digital via Remote Control www.remotecontrolrecords.com.au.

You know him from his breakout role on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm as the way out and off-beat Leon Black. For his first time in Australia, Singhala Music are proud to present veteran actor and one of the greatest comedic actors today - JB Smoove.

''Leon Black may well be TV's single funniest character…Smoove and Larry David have become one of the greatest comedy duos in recent memory''
- Rolling Stone USA

Already announced to call 'The Gift' at this years Meredith Music Festival, JB Smoove will be bringing the ruckus to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne audiences with his acclaimed stand-up comedy show.

Honing his craft as a writer at Saturday Night Live between 2003 and 2007, his infectious, high-energy style will suck you into his world as he riffs on anything and everything. He's voiced for The Simpsons and American Dad, starred alongside Steve Carell in Date Night, Chris Rock in the cult classic Pooty Tang and Adam Sandler in Mr Deeds. His most recent film projects are The Sitter with Jonah Hill, We Bought a Zoo featuring Matt Damon and The Dictator opposite Sacha Baron Cohen.

Smoove is also the host of the new Comedy Central standup series, Russell Simmons Presents: The Ruckus and recently shot his own one hour stand-up special, That’s How I Dooz It.
