Blurst of Times Festival

March 30, 2013, Melissa Tan, No Comment

So Blurst of Times Fest is happening this Sunday in Brisbane. There’s always a pal in every group who pulls out a stale Simpsons reference at a given time, but used in this context, against this ridiculous line up – Blurst of Times will get very, very loose.

The guys from Bedroom Suck, Fans Group and Hairy Mexican have pulled together their collective forces to bring a </DREAM> lineup that includes:

VIOLENT SOHO
VELOCIRAPTOR
SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEDDING
GUNG HO
BORED NOTHING
THE CAIROS
SURES
BITCH PREFECT
WITCH HATS
TERRIBLE TRUTHS
DRUNK MUMS
KEEP ON DANCIN’S
TINY MIGRANTS
CIRCULAR KEYS
MAJOR LEAGUES
PIRATES ALIVE

Some of Oz’s best acts will hit the stage this Sunday the 31st of March across Alhambra Lounge, Black Bear Lodge and Coniston Lane (formerly Woodland). There are a handful of tickets left available HERE. If you’re not occupied with consuming chocolate or shackled to any other pious duties on Easter, get yr tune on. Blurst Fest will get very, very loose.

LOOK: Good Sniff draws ‘Pig City’

November 20, 2012, Melissa Tan, 2 Comments

Local illustrator Good Sniff has gone to the liberty of sketching more than 300 individual faces belonging to 106 Brisbane bands.

“It got to a point about midyear where I’d be scooting around in the Valley and I’d recognise people because I’d drawn their faces. Which is creepy.”

She describes it as “character design exercise that got waaaay out of hand”.

Do take a closer look at this. It’s scarily accurate, even if there’s at least one member of every act who looks a little seedy <Gung Ho>.My favourites are Violent Soho looking doing 50 shades o’ Nazareth, JSS’s hair diversity, typical bong-eyed Dune Rats and the left Origliasso twin who looks like Julia Zemiro on meth.

Apparently she’s doing more revisions to this one, but I’d definitely like to see her take on another state.

July 23, 2010, David Payne, No Comment

If you meet me and ask me about violent soho, I might bang on for a while about all the reasons I think these guys are great. For now, I will ask that if you get the chance, see them live. They are on at 1pm on friday at splendour in the grass, according to this timetable. I hope all punters heading to SITG have an incredible festival, it will obviously be huge so look after each other.

There are a couple of other shows listed here – http://www.myspace.com/violentsoho
