Dream Damage Records is psyched to announce the release of Assassins 88 & TV Colours Split 7″ (now available to order online). Assassins have swapped the bass for guitar, with less noise and more melody. Both tracks were recorded in a shed last summer, with Mike from Teddy Trouble. A new EP will be available for download in February. TV Colours is the one man recording project from home town hero Bobby Kill. His side is some of the catchiest punks anthems out with The Kids Are All Grown Up named top song of 2010 by Polaroids of Androids. TV Colours is gearing up for the release of his debut LP out later in the year.

Over the past few months Assassins and TV Colours have been playing live as a three piece, playing each others songs and generally kicking ass. You can catch them up in Brisbane this weekend and in Sydney, Melbourne (Feb 5th show moved to march – more details soon) and Canberra over the coming months. The 7″ is available to order online via the bigcartel and will be stocked in good record stores soon.

Following the hugely successful Dead Shits Festival, DEADSHITS 2 is on again. Its happening this Friday in Brisbane, and is shaping up to be one hell of a party. Be sure to check out Assassins 88 and TV Colours who are making the trip up with their newly released 7″ in hand. Hosted by the amazing team at Bedroom Suck Records and The Outpost.

If you are in Sydney tomorrow night, be sure to make your way to the Oxford Art Factory to celebrate Christmas with the Polaroids of Androids team. Assassins 88/TV Colours are heading up to play their last show of the year before launching their split 7″ in early January. Get in early as tickets are selling fast and beers will be cheaper. Happy Holidays.

Sydney’s most talked about  band Circle Pit will make their debut in Canberra at the Crossroads this Thursday. Promoting their new album “Bruise Constellation”, androgynous front man Jack Mannix and soulmate Angie Bermuda promise to bring spectacle to the capital burbs. After surfing on a wave of hype and publicity it will be great to see the band doing what they do best.

Joining them will be Teddy Trouble, playing their last show before an indefinite hiatus, and TV Colours, who will be making a special trip down from Sydney for a solo show after finishing his 7 inch to be released next month. Check the video for TV Colours joined by Assassins 88 at Black Wire last weekend.

TV Colours, previously known to some as Basketball Cards, is currently prepping his debut 7″ to come out on Dream Damage Records in the coming months. The Kids Are All Grown Up is the only track we have been able to get our hands on so far and it is easily the best thing we have heard all year. Peaked guitars and an overdriven drum machine back Bobby Kill’s depressing and nostalgic lyrics. Look out for big things from TV Colours this year.
