Crab Smasher are playing a free show next week on Friday July 30 at the Croatian Club in Newcastle, with Scissor Lock, Little A, and Lucia Draft. If you don't live in Newcastle, catch a train!

great! come and say hello to us.

hey! Crab Smasher are playing at red rattler in Sydney tomorrow night with Penguins, Melodies, and Alps. see!

Be sure to catch these dynamic, idiosyncratic performances featuring two solo experimental musicians from Melbourne: Melodies and Penguins, as well as odd pop improv outfit Crab Smasher from Newcastle and lush atmospherical act, Alps, who is recently back from an overseas tour.

Penguins has been both a solo and band project for the past 18 months, touring NSW in February earlier this year, constantly organising shows in Melbourne and distributing numerous self-produced recordings.

Melodies is a new project of Damian Clarkson (Sun Of Clark, St Helens). He has recently self made and released a debut album comprising ambient/atmospheric/unexplainable soundscapes.

re: playing at ARThive, if you're coming through town and doing something interesting/worthwhile that might not suit some of the other venues listed above, feel free to contact us with your ideas. Please keep in mind that we're a volunteer run art gallery and not a pub, unfortunately we can't accommodate everybody.

This is the vibe.

MICHAEL CRAFTER – D.Y Or Die Screaming through 12 tracks of posi party-violence and nonsensical grindcore, this dynamic duo of Matheson Vaughn and Dave Bate pay tribute to their reality TV namesake with good times, novelty humour, and somewhat fill the gaping hole in the musical cosmos left by Vaughn’s previous outfit Anal Discharge.
