Just a note to say that we must remember to include contact details for each of us in the zine in case anyone REALLY likes our work! Maybe I am stating the obvious ...

Just had an idea - if we mention the best indie record stores in the zine then they might be inclined to stock it for us ... any suggestions? L.

Dear indys and outys. Hope everyone is fine. This blog is looking damn fine, I must say. If anyone has any text they would like included in the zine then either e-mail it to me (lizadez@netspace.net.au) or post it (saying it's for the zine) and I'll cast my editorial eye over it.

See you all on Monday!

alternative music at basement discs

2009-05-03T20:14:00.000-07:00

Does everyone know about the free lunchtime concerts at Basement Discs in the city? At 12.45 each Friday there is a free half hour concert - I saw Eric Bibb there a while ago. This month the concerts are by Melbourne bands - coming up this week are Wagons ('dark country rock'), on the 15th, FLAP ('high energy jazzy folky rock'), on the 22nd, Downhills Home ('alternative country rock'). It's well worth making the effort to get in there to see these free shows by good alternative musicians.

Basement Discs is in Block Place in Block Arcade, Collins St.

remember care bears? i was thinking about them while i drew this. that's why i look like a preschooler.

my brother's band just finished up their EP and it's amazing, so i'm illustrating them for the zine. they're called walk the earth. they've been around for a while (their myspace page is fair outdated), but my brother's the new lead vocals. he has killer chops.

they're a hardcore screamo band, so i'm going to try not to think of care bears while illustrating that. their first gig (with the new line-up) is on at the arty next month. i'll let you know the details.

soo... my first gig. i'm pretty sure it was bon jovi! i'm struggling to remember anything but the gold leather pants. i was there with my dad and ... yep, pretty much just the gold leather pants.

... but tighter.

my first gig................................................................................
i was sixteen, thank god i've always looked about five years older then i really am because it was an over eighteen event. me and my perpetually wasted friend chris bought a ticket each for the now popular 'DRAGONFORCE'...........................
though i no longer listen to them i still remember it as an intense experience. the dank, cramped, sweat injected smell of the hi-fi bar coupled with an array of metal heads, bikers, trendy folk and me...................................................................
definitely a night to remember, that is until i blacked out after being headbutted in the face...................................................
i can't wear sunglasses now because the guy broke my nose and there's a little bump that forces them to either sit too high or too low, but that's another story altogether...........................

social identity 101

2009-04-05T21:01:00.000-07:00

'The Currency' was the name the first generation of Australians born to settlers and convicts gave themselves. They were also referred to as 'natives'; indigenous Australians in those days were simply known as 'blacks'. 'The currency' came about because the young workers demanded wages for their labour. As their parents were mostly ex-convicts the establishment hadn't thought it necessary to pay them for their work.

The first mob of white Australians developed a distinct and strong identity, identifying with the Irish underclass and the itinerant working class, in opposition to the ruling elite (the English) who they referred to as nobs. The currency prided themselves on being hard workers, independent, honest, sporty (they took particular pride in beating the English at games), physically active, and liberated from the social niceties governing polite society. The 'larrikinism', the mateship, the physicality and the cheekiness of the the anti-establishment 'Aussie battler' stereotype is easily traced from this early sense of selfhood.

Clearly it was a masculine sense of identity but there were currency lasses as well since it was usually necessary for women of this class to earn their own living or support the family while their men worked away from home.

My First Gig

2009-04-05T20:51:00.000-07:00

The first music venue I remember going to is the Seaview Ballroom in St. Kilda, sometime in the early eighties. I remember drinking cider because it was cheap and got you drunker quicker, but perhaps because of this I don't seem to remember which bands I saw, and in what order. It could have been The Dead Kennedy's, The Laughing Clowns, The Strange Tenants, Plays With Marionettes (?), or any other band that has now fallen into a slough of obscurity. It probably wasn't any now lauded Australian Alternative Rock band like the Birthday Party, The Saints or The Triffids, because by the time I was rolling around on St. Kilda venues' sticky floors they had buggered off to London to make their fortunes. (That went well.) I remember other musical shitholes now renovated or demolished: The Chevron, The Punters Club, Le Club Foote; The Palais still stands like a corroded rock in the middle of a sea of renovation. I saw New Order at the Palais in 1984; they bored me rigid.

Could everyone please let me know what was the first concert they ever went to and what was the first album/cd they ever bought - this is for our Contributors ' Rockwizz Moment page.

Could everyone share a disgusting domestic memory from childhood or more recent times to add to our sealed section - Disgusting Domestic Secrets - this can be handed to me in hard copy if you wish to remain private - let me know if you require anonymity!

Could everyone let me know their ideas for articles and general zine content - suggestions very welcome as then we will know what to illustrate. I will write something about our bands/artists and think of some other stuff to write.

Also we are doing self portraits to go with the Contributors Corner - these should be uploaded to the blog.

2009-04-05T04:06:00.000-07:00

This will be myself-portrait for the zine...............

Hey there, Indy Outers - could each of you please post details of the first concert you ever went to and the first album you ever bought for our Contributors' Corner Rockwizz moment. Any other ideas for Contributors Corner?

"The Currency are born of a proud lineage of convicts, bushrangers, stowaways and scoundrels. Combining punk rock and roll with celtic folk, these lads and lasses take up where legendary bands like 'Weddings Parties Anything' and 'Midnight Oil' left off by reviving the colonial folk ballad tradition. It's a rollicking six piece orchestra that combines folk instruments with a fire cracker punk rhythm section boasting ex Living End drummer Travis Demsey. Fiddle, accordion, tin whistle, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar play a mix of of jigs and reels, waltzes, oz rock and punk that keeps the crowd dancing like crazy dingoes."

Says who? Them, on their website. The Cuurency can sound a bit like the Pogues and there are moments when they remind you of the Cramps. Celtic folk punk.

A story about the late (Welsh) actor Richard Burton: an obnoxious American once met him and said "we have something in common! My ancestors were Scottish and so we are both celts", pronouncing it 'selts'. Burton came back with "I'm the selt. You're the sunt." Imagine having that sort of lightning wit.

Back to The Currency - they are due to play the Evelyn in Fitzroy on May 23rd. I think we should make an indy outy excursion to see them.
