After two shows in Sydney last weekend, the Assassins/TV Colours show are heading down to Melbourne to play a Missing Link instore (playing Danger Beach/TV Colours sets) on Friday the 27th and then at Yah Yahs (with Fake Tan) on the Saturday night.

Earlier this month, we found out that their split 7″ would be delayed until December. So we have reissued the Go Go Second Chance Virgin cassette. There are 50 copies available with new artwork and new tracks.

From early September, the label will be going on a short hiatus. I’m heading overseas and can’t continue until I come back. The blog will continue to post on local music and events but be sure to keep an eye out for other Canberra labels Birds Love Fighting and Hello Square Recordings who have some great things coming up in the next few months. As for Dream Damage, stay tuned for a new website and a number of new releases coming early 2011.

This Sunday, Teddy Trouble will officially launch their debut EP The Great Indoors (and they have been kind enough to give up the first two tracks of the EP for download!) This is a very limited pressing and only 50 copies will be available on the night. It all starts at around 6pm at The Phoenix – FREE ENTRY. Supporting will be Jonny Telafone and Old Ace with more to be announced.

Any copies left can be purchased online or at selected record stores.

Crash the Curb – How to Fall

I didn’t make it to this show but managed to track down some videos (None of Mornings i’m afraid). I’ve heard some really good things about both sets from Mornings and Crash the Curb – Hopefully I can catch them soon. Danger Beach has been writing songs for a new split EP with Animals Revenge. Prom Night, might be on there.

This Saturday night at Smiths Alternative Bookstore Zack Kouns (US) will be playing his unique brand of avant garde folk. He has been touring the country alongside Alps (Newcastle) and this is the last night of their tour. This is the last official Dream Damage related event for at least four months so come early and celebrate. Local supports are Cat Cat and Brother Gozu.

$5 Entry
Doors 7pm
Bands 7.30pm

This weekend Assassins 88 and Fighting League are heading up the coast to play shows in Newcastle and Sydney. Friday night they’re in Newcastle at The Croatian Club playing with Honest Thieves and Stitched Vision. On Saturday they’re at Black Wire Records with Bitch Prefect and Bed Wettin Bad Boys. Also, ASS ASS INS bassist Lachlan will be on FBI Radio Thursday night promoting his new Danger Beach album (there will be copies available at shows). Come and party!

*** Big thank you to every kind soul who battled the cold last night and generously donated money. It was a great show and all three band totally killed (videos up soon). Muchas gracias***

New clips from last nights amazing show at the phoenix; apart from the smell this night was perfect. Chrome Dome were dope too but no video (yet?)… Make sure you all get a copy of their tapes.

This Sunday at The Phoenix, Horse Macgyver (formerly ///▲▲▲\\\) is releasing a new tape “Void” under his newly established label Bad Sound. Supporting will be Jonny Telafone, back again after his amazing tape launch and Melbourne’s Chrome Dome, who have been touring the east coast over the last few months.

After releasing a CDR through US label Disaro earlier this year, Horse Macgyver (Tim Dwyer) has recieved some genuine interest both locally and internationally. Most recently he was listed in a pitchfork article covering the emerging Witch House/Drag “genre”. The tape is coming out on new label Bad Sound, which was established as a part of the “Lets Paint TV” tour that Tim organised last year. More releases are planned including a vinyl compilation featuring Sniggle and Jonny Telafone.

Dream Damage is selling the tape online (orders will be available next week!!!).

But lets not forget Chrome Dome…
