mickey gloss Created through the union of two, Daniel Noort on guitar and Kurt Bugden on drums, Mickey Gloss are a 2 piece musical outfit that are simple in their mission ‘To give back to the music’. Mickey Gloss take what they have learnt from bands past and present to create a sound that rejoices in the process of life. Think cicada chirps and whale noises that wake the dead and you come close.
aemon currently in an improv band (this is the only way to describe it) titled The Nihil Spiritual Orchestra. The band is currently on hiatus, but this is as a result of nothing having been organised since i began my last intensive year of study at uws. Ive been lucky enough to begin B.Music Hons studying with Caleb Kelly, so ill plug the goods that that entails. My musical focus these days are in drone and glitch, and i have continued to move away from the harsh noise that i began fostering early 2007, to try and achieve more relaxing soundscapes despite high decibel levels. My interest is in combining the now-time effect of unchanging frequency spectrums, whether they be pitched or not, and combining this with untempoed, unpulsed rhythmic attacks, inspired by ambient, noise & doom, and glitchcore and skipping cds respectively.
plus markets and djs

this is the one we’ve been waiting for! and the line up has blossomed madly! first band will be on at 8.30 tonight so BE EARLY!
the laurels – the laurels are a 5 piece psychedelic/shoegaze band from sydney. first taking the stage in june 2006, the laurels juggernaut has accumulated accolades, guitar pedals and fans in approximately equal proportion.
Vialka – Vialka is an inflatable submarine that survived the commercial war. It travels unrestlessly around the world to explore the rich diversity of its cultures before it is too late. Vialka is a noisy comedy not ashamed of its own way by scorn or ridicule. It is an invitation to dance to steady explosive rhythms, terror melodies and experimental movements. It is a symphony for humble flesh through the high spirits of rock’n’roll. Globetrotting mavericks and dynamic two piece from everywhere and nowhere, Vialka unfailingly blow the minds of the uninitiated! With the world’s smallest and hardest hitting female drummer and ungodliest (un)bearded baritone guitarist, this band surpasses all expectation of the possibilities of popular music!
ian wadley – played with bird blobs, jandek , mick turner plus a whole list as long as your arm. have a look at the website for more info. Oh and also brother to greg of new waver fame
the question – Formed through a combination of too much time + equipment and lack of like minded individuals. no more sitting around >>>time to mess around.
as if these bands weren’t enough there will be other crazy shit going on in the front room:
TEN THOUSAND FREE MEN & THEIR FAMILIES
– 10kfreemen is the alias of Tom Gilmore, an Australian chiptune artist. Tom began making Game Boy music in early 2007 with very little exposure to the world of chiptune. His early minimalistic style developed with his exposure and increased involvement with the scene, along with the development of a live show to express himself to new audiences and expose a new genre of music to an unaware Sydney, Australia. http://10kfreemen.comhttp://myspace.com/thefloortom
DIVIDE BY ZERO
Often described as a mathematical anomaly, Divide is setting out togive a big lo-fi fuck you to mathematicians. ”Anomalise this, cunts” he has been heard to say, wielding a gameboy in each hand whilst shooting lazers out of his eyes. He also occasional designs flyers for No Frills.
PRZEWALSKI’S HORSE
In the wild, Przewalski’s Horses live in social groups consisting of a dominant stallion, a dominant lead mare, other mares, and their offspring. The patterns of their daily lives exhibit horse behavior similar to that of feral horse herds: Each group has a well-defined home range; within the range, the herd travels between three and six miles a day, spending time grazing, drinking, using salt licks anddozing. The stallions can frequently be seen sniffing dung piles to confirm scent markings, and playing out 8-bit tunes in Sydney.
ABORTIFACIENT
When not elbow-deep in recreational autopsy, Abortifacient likes to program Breakcore. Born in 2005, Abortifacient has taken his brand of Queensland Breakcore on a Japanese tour. Like a Gabber set at the Gympie Muster, Abortifacient’s live shows blend Psychobilly, Chiptunes, and Horror Film Fanaticism.

i’m really excited about this sunday!!! we’re having a big tea / cake party at jura bookshop, with music by loads of lurvely ladies and then a bit of a discussion about women in diy music and activism.
my good friend lena has come up from melbourne to grace us with her gorgeous sounds, louise has some new tunes for our listening pleasure, anna will tearour hearts out with her musical tales and i’ll play some little bits i’ve been working on.
there’ll be a huge spread of vegan cakes and treats! feel free to bring some along if you’re extra inspired. and we’ve plenty of tea cups to go around!
most importantly there’s going to be a discussion of women and queers in diy and activist communities in sydney, but more broadly as well. don’t be shy – come and contribute!
the whole thingo kicks off at 11am on sunday morning (27th april) so don’t sleep in too much or you’ll miss out on all the edible goodies! jura bookshop is easy to get to – a five minute walk down crystal street from etersham station, or a short bus ride from central station down parramatta road. it’s number 440 on parramatta road, just a block from where norton street meets parramatta road. just next to the flag shop and opposite the bald faced stag (pub) if that helps.

LINDSAY NO-HAM SQUAT CAFE
Please join us for the opening of our cafe and the launch of Crowbar my Heart squatting zine on Sunday the 20th of April, just near Rozelle markets – catch the 501 or 433 from central (I can get the exact address for those interested). Zine and tucker by donation. 11 to 4, delicious things on beds of sumptuous stuff, drizzled in homemade sauces. Fresh from the garden ingredients with tasty exotic flavour. Matching tablecloths. Plus optional extras:
Get physical with a unique whole-body workout to equip you for the rigors of jellywrestling and/or squatting. Good for all levels, beginner to advanced. Please bring a leotard, or at least comfortable clothes, and a towel. Note – aerobics will be cancelled in the event of rain or bad hangover, but you should bring your leotards anyway.
Beyond the right to housing
This is a reading/discussion group taking off from an interview with Alex Foti called ‘Precarity and N/european Identity’, available online at http://www.metamute.org/en/Precarity-european-Identity-Alex-Foti-ChainWorkers Hard copies will be available at the cafe. Points for discussion: paid and unpaid work, squatting and tenant struggles. Sounds boring but will be fascinating no doubt.
Crowbar connections
A chance for people who are squatting, or want to be, or are interested in working on squatting-related projects, or don’t really care, etc., to meet, network, share skills, propose projects, speed date, the possibilities are endless…
And more random stuff if people come up with it.

Bands: Fail Do Not Resuscitate Little a Little Rabbit
15th May 2021 – I always tried to make shows as diverse and interesting as possible, which doesn’t always mean success, as many younger fans want a whole night of the same thing. Being a bit older, there’s nothing that would bore me further. This night featured indie-pop, hardcore and experimental synth pop and many of the participants were friends with each other. It always felt good to be part of this community and I often wonder about the scene in Sydney these days and if there are still people doing that.
“Outfoxed” examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, have been running a “race to the bottom” in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public’s right to know.
The film explores Murdoch’s burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person.
Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR) Bob McChesney (Free Press), Chellie Pingree (Common Cause), Jeff Chester (Center for Digital Democracy) and David Brock (Media Matters) provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society.
This documentary also reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it’s like to work for Fox News. These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a “right-wing” point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said “There’s no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can’t be crossed.”
this is the last in the series of Brave New Films documentaries. as per all their docos they are free to distribute and screen. if you would like a copy of any of the dvds then drop me a line at tenzenmen.
