DeVenture was the recording project of Lachlan Thomas (aka Danger Beach) and Alejandro Ylich Ramirez Alcazar (aka Brother Gozu), who got together around 2005/2006 to play music together. They were both heavily influenced by the solo records of John Frusciante and more notably by the live performances he was doing at the time with Josh Klinghoffer. These recordings are some of their earliest experiments.

In 2007, they played some improvised live shows but disbanded soon after.

Sioux is the first single from Danger Beach’s soon to be released LP “Pacific”. The album, which is currently being mixed, has ten new tracks and much like his debut release, Milky Way, it features a number of guest appearances from Dream Damage artists. There is currently no official word on a release date, but you can follow him on Tumblr and Soundcloud for all of the latest updates.

Check out The Fighting League’s new video for Calypso, with out a doubt one of my favourite jams from Tropical Paradise. The clip was directed and edited by Frazer Bull-Clark and Joel Snyder, and is basically a day in the life of the band type thing, both hilarious and 100% accurate.

The Fighting League will be hitting the road over the next few weeks, starting this weekend in Melbourne and then Sydney, Brisbane, Newcastle and Adelaide to follow. Watch this space for more details.

Teddy Trouble was a band based in Canberra from around 2009 to 2011. Together they crafted weird-as-fuck pop songs from the happy accidents they found in ‘anything-goes’ jams. Their sound was often described as falling between the nostalgia of old pop like The Byrds and the jangly sounds of Flying Nun’s 80’s Era. Around two years ago, they wrote and recorded The Great Indoors EP in a Canberra shed. It was originally on a limited release through Dream Damage Records and sold out on the night of its launch. Now you can download The Great Indoors from their bandcamp.

Teddy Trouble have since disbanded and won’t be playing anymore shows. If you dig it, you should also check out Golden Buoy. Super seductive pop music made way back in 2007 from members of Teddy Trouble, Assassins 88 and the man himself Jonny Telafone!

The Fighting League will be launching Tropical Paradise in Sydney this Thursday at The Oxford Art Factory with Unity Floors and Sean Lockhart. Doors open at 8pm. Free Entry! (FB Event)

Then on Saturday night. The Fighting League will be launching the record in Canberra at The Phoenix with Assassins 88 and Bad Lifers. Doors open at 8pm. Free Entry! (FB Event)

Uralba is the debut album from Melbourne based guitar-pop/post-punk trio CAT CAT, self recorded on a farm just outside of Canberra (called Uralba) and then later mixed/mastered in Melbourne. The album’s songs are a mix of minimal pop and jangly post punk, with cruising tempos, bright guitars, and hypnotic vocals.

Uralba is out now on 12″ vinyl, and is available to buy, or stream (download soon) from Cat Cat’s bandcamp, and also through our online store. They will be launching the record in Canberra, Sydney and Newcastle this weekend (facebook event) then Hobart the Friday after, with more dates to follow in January/February.

The Fighting League is a five piece punk band from Canberra, Australia. Their long awaited debut album, Tropical Paradise, is 14 slices of tropical punk heaven, packed with a heavy load of bravado and swagger. The albums tracks are grit-teeth party punk anthems, played with a raw energy that matches their intense live show.

Tropical Paradise is out now on 12″ vinyl, and is available to buy, stream or download (for FREE!) from The Fighting League’s bandcamp, and also through our online store. They will be launching the record in Sydney on the 15th of December at OAF (Sydney facebook event) and then in Canberra on the 17th at The Phoenix (Canberra facebook event), with more dates to follow in early January.

Keep it tropical.
