No better way to spend a lazy afternoon than a short trip up to Dee Why to see THE HERBAL LUNATICS rip through a set of HELLMENN classics.
Saturday morning acoustic sessions #1. A shortened dodgy version of the TOE TO TOE classic, GIANT KILLER. Stay tuned for next weeks acoustic banger!
Now that was a punks picnic! Seriously that is up there as one of the wildest picnics ever in its near 30 year history. Piles of punters, piles of families, ripping tunes all day and nothing but smiles all day! Shout out to everyone that helped out on the day, we truly appreciate you, all the bands that played, (especially the ones from out of town), lent gear etc you all rule. Thanks to everyone that donated to the go fund me earlier in the year too, without your support this sh*t can’t happen. The biggest thanks goes out to all the punters, without you there is no picnic. An extra special mention needs to go out to all the emerging young punks.. you lot are some of the most passionate, compassionate and respectful mob, your a breathe of fresh air the scene needs, it’s truly a beautiful thing to see. Stay weird, never conform, we totally love you all! The Sydney punk rock community came together and was on fire yesterday! What an absolute buzz!!! Thank you! Video of Backhand!!
The passing of our dear friend Drew has affected many people from all around the globe. Drew was one of a kind, a ying yang of brutality and kindness. A creative soul with an intellect to match the greatest minds on earth. He was a visionary and was never afraid to take risks. He had a mind for lo brow detail, pushing the limits on his creative adventures like his film FLANGE DESIRE, the body of books he wrote and who could forget his Punch and Judy show! Drew came from a world where humour was medicine. He made us all laugh, he made us all laugh our absolute our f**king guts up! This week the laughter has subsided. The world was never big enough for Drew! He was larger than life! I had the pleasure of doing backing vocals on the first two STANLEY KNIFE demos an experience I’ll cherish forever. Thank you for the laughs old mate! I’ll guess you’ll never know what happened to Newtown! I hope everyone is doing ok!
Dino always turned my sh*ttiest riffs into epic hardcore ragers. Miss you bro! Hope you’re smashing it wherever you are! #impactstatementband
