We will be meeting at 12pm, and will be marked by a Red and Black flag.

Showing at Black Rose this Sunday is “The Take”, a 2004 documentary about an occupied factory in Argentina.
Sunday January 27 6.30 pm 22 Enmore Rd, Newtown entry by donation
To steal a desription from the film’s official website: “In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave.
All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act – The Take – has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.
The story of the workers’ struggle is set against the dramatic backdrop of a crucial presidential election in Argentina, in which the architect of the economic collapse, Carlos Menem, is the front-runner. His cronies, the former owners, are circling: if he wins, they’ll take back the companies that the movement has worked so hard to revive.
Armed only with slingshots and an abiding faith in shop-floor democracy, the workers face off against the bosses, bankers and a whole system that sees their beloved factories as nothing more than scrap metal for sale.
With The Take, director Avi Lewis, one of Canada’s most outspoken journalists, and writer Naomi Klein, author of the international bestseller No Logo, champion a radical economic manifesto for the 21st century. But what shines through in the film is the simple drama of workers’ lives and their struggle: the demand for dignity and the searing injustice of dignity denied.”

Lecter Macabre
During the 4th World War, the elemental nature of science was changed and formed a new kind of music. People over the last 7 billion years have argued about it’s origins and small rodents have fallen asleep to the tonal variation it creates. ARE YOU AWAKE? Lecter Macabre eats food, breathes air and drinks liquid. They are two men. One is a member of Sydney group TRIANGLE. He is the mouth sound. He is Dr. Lecter. The other is the former member of a radio show on 2SER known as Music For Big Game Hunting. He waves his hands and creates magic sounds from the antenna. He is Dr. Kklarence S. Macabre.

Hinterlandt (germany)
Hinterlandt was founded by Jochen Gutsch after years of playing in underground bands such as Feedback Recycling, Buckethead (the German band), Professor, Home Of The Lame, Suckspeed, and others. Jochen moved from Hannover/Germany to Sydney/Australia in 2000 and relocated to Bonn/Germany in 2004. Hinterlandt moved along. Hinterlandt’s output is constantly changing. Initially a wild experimental music project, Hinterlandt soon embraced electronic music as a key aspect of production. Carefully, vocal lines and guitars were introduced, and before you knew it, there was a bunch of semi-electronic pop songs. Recently, some unexpected heavy riffs and pounding drums could be heard outside secret rehearsal locations, so the next change might be right around the corner.
Hinterlandt Live Incarnations
Phase III (Current): Hinterlandt is a rock trio, helped by loud amplifiers and heaps of old-school effect pedals. Jochen Gutsch on guitar, vocals and trumpet is accompanied by old friends Felix Gebhard (Home Of The Lame) on bass and Hilmar Voigt (ex-Buckethead) on drums.
Phase II (2004-2006): Hinterlandt operated as a one-man band playing left-of-centre indietronics, with multi-instrumentalist Jochen Gutsch as the only member. About 60 solo shows were played in Lisbon, Helsinki, Cologne, Rome, Berlin, London, Hamburg, Amsterdam and other cities. Solo performances might still happen occasionally.
Phase I (2002-2004): Hinterlandt started playing live as an improvised collective, featuring up to 20 musicians around Jochen Gutsch. About 20 shows of decidedly experimental sound/ambient/noise music were played in Australia.

i’ll be here with some distro and bits and pieces…
9th May 2021 – Club Consolador De Dos Caras was the brainchild of Swerve and Lucas from Dualplover Records to have a weekly night out of over the top, underground, weird, unusual and unwanted music. For the first few weeks I was just involved with setting up the market space and selling my distro stock there but Lucas was soon to leave on tour and Swerve asked me to give him a hand to organise everything. I was keen to get back into after running shows at the Pitz earlier this year. Picture of DJ Rainbow Ejaculation sourced from dmcooper78 on Flickr.
