This is going back a while, but its probably a bit relevant to the previous
(and very long) discussion on techno vs geetars.  I'd like to post a quick
mention of one of my favorite techno groups, Single Gun Theory.  

I picked up `Exocise This Wasteland' the other week ( on import :( ), which
is their first album.  You probably know that they are a completely
synth-based group, in the vein of Severed Heads.  On this album, most of
the tracks have the classic techno-bleak despair, but the vocals lift it
from out of the ordinary.  The synth line gives the music a mesmeric
quality, and the Jacqui's voice feels like a caress :)

`Like Stars In My Hand' illustrates my point even further.  The startling
samples SGT use on this one (Indian chants, air-raid sirens, Natalie
Wood...) and the sinewy quality of the synthesisers (and of course the
vocals) make this album so human and sensual, without a Fender in sight.

My point is that whether the band uses synths or guitars or any ratio
thereof, has no direct relation to the quality of the music.  There are MANY
other factors involved.  If it were so easy to decide that guitars = good
and synths = boring (or vice versa, and BTW, I am a big fan of
wall-of-guitar bands too), we would have a perfect cookbook receipe for
composing.

	I must second this. I first saw Chris Wilson about 6 months ago,
(when you didn't have to pay to see him :-), on a friends recommendation.
Amazing voice, and an amazing stage act. He walks around like he is
pschycopathic.  

	Actually the reason why I went along initially was because of his
excellent guitarist, Shane O'Meara. Very good guitairist. The drummer is the
drummer from the Black Sorrows. I've seen the Bull sisters at CW gigs 
occasionally. 

	His album Landlocked is pretty good, as was his effort on Live at
the Wireless. My favourite songs at the gigs are Hard Land, The big one and
that hot chocolate cover they do. Sensational. Oh yeah, If you can hear (and
understand) what Chris Wilson says, you find he can be pretty funny too.
Anyone who went to the corner hotel a month ago, or listened to the live at
the wireless set will know that.

	Chris Wilson is a part time school teacher, so you might see him in
other states soon. Catch him if you can.

If you wanna see extremely talented guitarists, they don't get much better
than Phil Buckle and Jack Jones.  And Virgil on drums, I could write a book
on how good he is!  The only unfortunate thing is that the first Southern
Sons album had none of the fire/flash that you see when you go to their
live show.

Some of the greatest drum and guitar solos I have seen have come from the
above 3.  I only knew Jack Jones as the guitarist for Hans Valen, didn't
realise he could bloody sing too (bastard!)

They did two gigs in Sydney a few weeks ago and one of my friends took some
really cool photos. His also always writing to them asking if he can tape
the shows but they always say no. He also thinks some of them must be school
teachers because they only seem to tour during the Victoria School Holidays.

All right, here you go... local music that's not local to you.

[Yes, I'm on the other side of the planet.]

Lion's Cry, "Revelation"

Good "rockin'" music, fairly traditional, with one _major_ distinction:
All songwriting, lead vocals, and instruments are done by _one_ guy,
named Stephen McKnight.  This is what you'd have gotten if Mike Oldfield
had decided to go into the rock business right off, instead of pioneering
the new-age genre.  And it's actually very good. 

No information on concerts - of course, it's hard to replicate live, but
contact info's as follows - for those of you who like having music by people

Best of luck mate.  You might want to contact Ben Cox who is just about to
press a CD of the same type (well, 2 CDs) made of submissions from techno
bands/friends of etc on the internet.  Melbourne's SNOG made it on the disc.

All That Falls WERE a regularly working, original band. Unfortunatly,
our Drummer had to leave and we are NO LONGER WORKING. 

The band was one of the finalists in the RMIT heat of Campus Battle of
the Bands with a temporary drummer (out of 39 bands, and then only
4 points seperating the three finalists). 

We will soon be playing a few gigs, thanks to the timely offer of help
from Ripe's drummer, but we need a permanent solution.

Is this you?

Can you play the drums?

Do you have a drum kit?

Do you have a personality?

Please email if you fit the above description and are interested.

This is also probably incorrect!  Phil would be the first to admit that he is
not half the guitarist that Jack is.  There seems to be an apparent
misconception about the band, where lot of people think that as Jack does the
singing, he is therefore an inferior guitarist.  This is of course incorrect,
and the fact that Fender is producing a Jack Jones signature guitar would
suggest that I am not the only one in awe of his playing!

Went to the Sarah Sands Hotel in Melbourne the other night to see Big Trip,
Caligula and Def Rhyme....just thought I would give a quick run down for
anybody who has thought about seeing these guys.

Big Trip were on first and basically they stole the whole night...tight, funky,
really got the (small) audience into it. I thought it was going to be a huge
night until Caligula came on. Now I've a couple of their songs on JJJ, and
thought they were pretty good, but I have to say that live, they suck big-time.
I don't know why they have a drummer...whenever he dropped a stick or took a
break, the beat didn't change at all. I don't mind sequenced music, but it
couldn't hold the crowd's interest this time. The bass player is worth seeing
though....
What really annoyed me was the way the two singers were prancing around the
stage the whole time, but that's just me :)
I've seen Def Rhyme a few times, and every time they really rocked!
Unfortunately this wasn't a repeat performance..in fact, they were kinda
boring. They were trying out a few new songs, which didn't really go over very
well. I havn't heard their EP yet, except for catching "Therapy" on JJJ, but I
think they should sound pretty good on CD...anyone got it yet??

later,

... not without a fleeting viewpoint or two...


We once had Boxcar here in Brisbane, but they pissed off to Sydney. I think
Vision 4/5 did as well. All the other Brisbane bands tend towards the grunge
side of the coin. There were a -few- non-compression-pedal bands but I fear
they've been forced out/underground. 


Incidently, assuming there is still -some- hope for the existence of
electronic bands hereabouts, I'm starting a label to gather 'em up and 
compile a CD that will be so anti-pub-rock-grunge-metal-etc that it might
actually be alternative enough for the Australian (more likely Brisbane)
market to sell a few. The true alternative in a sea of crap. Roo-art lost
the plot quite some time ago. Volitions new offshoot has got the right idea.

Maybe, just maybe, like-minded labelites can keep in touch and perhaps
form an inter/intra-state collective/umbrella for bands of the electronic/
industrial/avant-garde ilk that don't want to worry about the level of
shit they have to deal with under 'normal' circumstances.

Hey-ho a cottage industry for the nineties...

Hi,

Yesterday I heard this song on JJJ which caught my ear... although the 
presenter say the name of the song and band, I unfortunately forgot it! :(

I think the name of the song, from memory is: Nature's way... 
It's a pretty mellow song, with only string accompaniment... byt still
not your average production.

The lyrics went something like: 

	It's nature's way of telling you
	something is wrong

	etc etc etc

does anyone have any idea what this song is?? whether it's available on 
CD here in Oz? whether it's a single... you know... all the usual info...

Great... appreciated. Assi./
