GUDBYE FOR GUD

Dear Blogspot Community,
Other than my previous post of the dolphin-banana-spin this blog has been pretty awful. It pains me too much to look at it this page, I feel I’ve really failed the neu medium that is the blog and am looking for a fresh start in the interweb world. For less ugly, more informative and maybe even more entertaing R.I.P Society news check here from now on…. http://ripsocietyrecords.tumblr.com/

Kind Regards,
Nic Warnock

P.S. SLADE RULE.

SORRY I NEVER UPDATE THIS....

This is a bad blog, look at the myspace or facebook for more up to date info.

Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys are playing the Dualplover End of Financial Year Party at Home Nightclub June 30. The Dualplover bossmen Lucas and Swerve said we can choose how much we can charge you for tickets so we’ve taken this opportunity to spearheaded a new music revolution, like when Radiohead let you choose how much you paid for their record but A LOT more interesting. Be a part of the most important thing to happen to music since the invention of Garage Band!

Firstly here’s the full line-up and all the details about the party:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=110342565667848
(make sure to get a ticket cause it’s $25 on the door)

We’re offering you many flexible payment options where you can trade your goods, service, skills, digital or physical dollars! You can pay with good old fashion ca$h at Repressed Records (356 King Street, Newtown). We’re giving you the option of paying half to the Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys and half to your other favourite band. So if you wanted to you could give $5 to BWBBs and $5 to Whores. As DRUNK ELK are coming all the way from Tasmania Repressed Records will also be selling tickets on their behalf. $10 straight in their pocket. EVEN BETTER, if you buy Drunk Elk’s CD “ Pieces Of People We Have Known” or any Dualplover or R.I.P Society label release tickets for the End Of Financial Year Party are only $5!

If you hate going outside during record store opening ours you can paypal $10 to r.i.p.societyrecords@gmail.com . Make sure to specify if you want you moolah to go to Drunk Elk (great idea, these guys make cool music and should be encouraged) or half the $10 to go to another band.

OK HERE COMES THE TRULY REVOLUTIONARY PART……
As dual plover have let us choose how much we want to charge for tickets we (Joe, Ben and Nic) have compiled as list of things we’ll exchange for entry into the HAPPY NEW FINANCIAL YEAR PARTY.

DEAD FARMERS "GO HOME" LP OUT NEXT WEEK.

RIP009: Dead Farmers - Go Home LP
Long awaited full length album from Sydney’s Dead Farmers. You might remember hearing about their debut 7” from a few years back, the very first release on Aarght Records (Eddy Current, UV Race, Super Wild Horses etc). I saw their second show three and a half years ago and haven't missed many since. At the time it seemed everything around me was no-wavey or post-something and these three young men playing powerful, honest-to-god rock music felt like the most ambitious, genuine thing around. Since they’ve become a more forceful unit having playing over 100 shows, honed their ability to write riffs that’ll stick to your skull and have taken the long road in recording, learning the ins and outs of an old 8-track ½” tape machine. Recorded, mixed and mastered by the themselves in guitarists David Akermans’ house, Go Home treads the line between your savage proto-punk, garage and heavy psychedelic rock that instantly feels familiar but jeez, I can‘t think of a band in recent times (or of yesteryear) that’d be an obvious comparison. Anyway these dudes feel like my local Stooges/Creedence/Minutemen.
Out April 27 through R.I.P Society. VINYL (and mp3 voucher) ONLY!

Tracklisting:
1. Suns of Thunder*
2. Down Low
3. Bad Time*
4. Iron Giant
5. Slow Time
6. Goin’ Home
7. Boom
8. Run
9. Lucky Stars
10. Can’t Come
11. Spit / Shine*
* = recommend songs for radio play.

FAREWELL CHABBS.

Important message from Dead Farmers:
After 3 and a bit years of keeping time for Dead Farmers, we unfortunately have to announce the departure of our beloved Chabbs. Sad day, but the man could no longer divide time between the trash cans and his studies. So as he leaves we wish him all the best in the future - tute on son, tute on! Not all bad news though, as a replacement has already been lined up and is ready to go. Kowalski, member of Peewee and main man from Marickville's finest party house Louie's, is our new dude in the chair. Y'can hear the lineup first on March 12th supporting our brothers Deaf Wish, alongside Straight Arrows at the Supper Club. Get in early to catch the new Farmers in action!


Dead Farmers debut LP "Go Home" is due out mid-April but knowing my luck that could anywhere between two weeks from now and 2015. See them play for the first time in months here.

P.S.The Royal Headache 7" has been delayed as the pressing plant forgot to mail them.... So basically they've been sitting on a warehouse floor for 3 weeks. I'll be frantically trying to email all of those who have pre-ordered this record, stores etc over the next few days. Sorry bout that y'all. Americans will be able to get this record from Goner in a week or so I reckon!
