August 2009 - Spider Vomit, Sailors & Swine, DJ Rory, Louise Please, Gus Exposition... messy times at Yah Yahs
If you’ve never heard Spider Vomit before then get down to Riff Raff because they are flippin’ awesome. Here’s the official word from Unstable Ape Records… Spider Vomit is a concentration of darkness, deviated themes and sonic enlightenment. Employing dueling male / female vocalists, a psychedelic primordial guitarist and a blues rhythm section, Spider Vomit sound like a kaleidoscopic cauldron bubbling over with inexplicable sonic phenomena. Boom! And how cool is the press shot?
Sailors & Swine bring together some of Melbourne’s finest musicians in one rum-soaked collection of souls that have been eating alive Australia’s most hallowed stages.
Built around chiming guitars, lurching, emphatic lyrics, sprawling bass lines, and pounding drums they are the newest signing to Melbourne's boutique label of darkness, Spooky Records. Their debut LP ‘All Hail The Drunken Liar’ is the result of a committed, energetic, yet swift writing process, creatively molded in the studio over a couple of months to produce a result that makes the listener feel that some songs could easily nestle in any of Australia’s most revered underground albums.
The lads have also just released a new 7” single, Bushfire/Desert Mind.
Spinning tunes late into the night will DJ Rory (Fang It!), Louise Please (Evolving Door) and DJ Gus Exposition.
