Grand Final BBQ

Hey Guys,

Lyn and I are going to have a BBQ this Sunday for the NRL Grand Final. The game itself kicks off around 7pm but coverage starts early. We'll probably have some chips and sausages and stuff but bring along anything that you want to cook on the barbie and bring drinks etc. You don't have to get right into footy to come along, as always there'll probably be people playing cards or pool or whatever. The footy is just a good excuse to have a Sunday barbie again. Let me know if you can make it so I have an idea of numbers.

Show up anytime from 2pm.

Attraction Encore

Dear Attractive ones. If you haven't had a chance to see chaos on stage, or if you have and want some more seven-piece rock n roll turbulence, The Strange Attractors are squeezing one more time onto the stage at Ric's in Brunswick Street.

Monday the 24th of September. Free entry. Catch up with friends for a few drinks etc, hit us up for some if you want. We'd really love to see you there.

It's been a crazy ride so far. Thanks for everyone's support. We're recording after this, disappearing into the strange abyss.

love, peace,

The Strange Attractors

Missed out on Simpsons tix?

saturday 28 july: hangar is lost of love

hangar is a party, a musical party, and if you are reading this you're invited. bring some friends down to the lamps at the edge of the underground.. lower 151 musgrave rd red hill. sub totally adult. BYO. $10. 7.30pm sharp!

lost of love: 11pm

supergroup? well, yeah, but not quite like velvet revolver. lost of love are already legenday because they were shut down in the valley mall daylight. too loud. too wierd. too... robed? featuring the talents and politics of a morphing cast including james o'brien from the boat people, edward guiglielmino of edward guiglielmino fame, lucas arundell, jackie marshall, chris brady and mick elliott, lost of love have invented a genre by skipping hard between the genres. what? you'll find out on saturday.

hazards of swimming naked 10.15pm

hazards of swimming naked are a mainly instrumental group from far north queensland. their music reflects the isolation, beauty and paranoia of the region. ambient late night grooves wander out too deep and drown in terror. recently seen in brisbane blowing minds at the globe with bloon and the rational academy, hazards are a band of truly international calibre.

www.myspace.com/hazardsofswimmingnaked

the sea shall not have them 9.30pm

inspired by red wine, coffee and regular bouts of insomnia, the sea shall not have them are a beautiful instrumental band who use an 8 track, guitar and drums, to deliver an ethereal set with echoes of the church, the cure, jesus and mary chain, mogwai and my bloody valentine. how good does that sound?

www.myspace.com/theseashallnothavethem

the strange attractors 8.45pm

the strange attractors draw from the same brand of 60's pyschadelia that bands like the dandy warhols and the brian jonestown massacre ate up. their edgiest edges intersect the massive 90s soul of spaceman 3 and spiritualised. classic pop confidence, a big lush sound.. good times.

www.myspace.com/attractors


toy balloon 8pm

this is toy balloon's third visit to the hangar stage, and each time they have been the band people fell in love with. greg cooper's masterful groovebox programming and nimai etheridge's masterful telecaster smashing is combined to produce a sound that is entirely fresh. melodic, layered and yep, funky. there. i said it. funky. come early, do not miss this band.

I'm An Uncle!... well kinda

As close to being an uncle as I'll probably get at least, being an only child. Close friends of mine Kirsty and Nathan have just had their first born son Michael James Hallett, and I have been given the title, Uncle Josh.

Here's a pic anyway :)

Abbey Medieval Fayre

Saturday 7th July

Meet on the train at Nundah station (so those who live near these stations don't have to go all the way into the city) at 8:50am. It's the Caboolture train from central at 8:30. And yes, that is a.m, as in before noon. :) Be on the front carriage.

$25 adult/$15 concession

We'll see the allegorical tournament and then catch the train home at about 8pm.

If you have kids, bring them, and partners etc: the more the merrier, and louder on the train!

Tell Shantell or me if you are going so that we know that people should be on the train, and bring your phone so that if you miss the train we know etc.

Moved Again Again Too

Well haven't moved house, but my birthday has inspired me to move to a new blog, much like my old one I was writing way back in 2004/2005. So anyway, check out my new blog and let me know what you think.

Thanks everyone too for all the wonderful birthday wishes and those who made it along last night I hope you had a great time. I certainly did :)

Just also, I thought some of you might enjoy this clip I found Stumbling YouTube. If you haven't got StumbleUpon yet, go get the firefox plugin now :) it's officially the greatest thing on the net since the web browser, hehe.
