perth used to be my nickname for a chamber hidden deep in my intestines. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

if you're still on about smojphace, there are copies all over the place.. i even saw one in sanity in the city.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a quick tip for all perth people....on thursday i saw a copy of analogue bubblebath vol.1 on 12" just sitting there at DaDa's, i dont know how much longer it will be there for though, so if your interested and i know Od_step isnt, get down there tomorrow and snatch it before someone else does |
||||||||

|
|
they've got the digeridoo (or is it xylem tube? i cant remember) ep on vinyl at central station .. was thinking of picking it up but i'm not much into afx anymore.. so i bought the basscadet vinyl instead.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard somethin on the radio the other day was there some kind of music festival thing hapeenin over there at the moment? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the wami (west australian music industry i think) gigs are happening all over the place.. not too many good electronic acts though.. its mainly indiepop/indierock bands../i think most of perth's electronic artists are still in their bedrooms not getting popular.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someone hook up a generator n blast some stuff out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you got a bit of a perth crew happenin, u guys should put yr heads together n put on a show. not that hard once u get the ball rollin, i started puttin on shows a lil while back cause i couldn't get any and its well worth it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we've (me and od) played some gigs with the local 8-bit recordings crew, but we dont really fit in with their style.., they tend to be more hardcore/gabba/noise stuff which i am developing a strong disliking of.. but soon i'm hopefully gonna get organising some gigs with me, od, rockenjohnny (in his duo gate) and some others.. if we can find some.. and we'll try and get more than 10 people to come hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not all hardcore gabba is bad... I like the REAL avant gard shit..... in fact I write some gabba... but only the tear up your ears chew em and spit em out kinda stuff.... anywho... I'm from bumfuck nowhere Capitalismville.... the Imperial states of america..... would like to get to a get together in the midwest ??? if at all possible ??? PeaceLove The Sindustry INC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i was just saying that i haven't found any noise/gabba stuff that i've liked .. occasionally i'll like some of the stuff i hear from the 8-bit crew, but i hate all the noise stuff i hear.. just my tastes i guess../ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah most of the shows i've played have been with hardcore techno stuff, usually stompin kinda stuff so it isn't that bad but i know what u mean, i have troubles trying to find other like minded acts for our shows, i would like to do something a bit different but still enjoy it anyhow. just having the opportunity to play is enough for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah playing live gigs is indeed fun../however i'd like it if more people danced to my stuff.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. u don't know any other artists similar u could do shows with? other than that i'd say just keep pluggin away n you'll eventually start gettin a following. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, at the moment, the ones i know of are: orangedust gate chrism+fenris (really awesome c64/loop based music.. for mp3s and such) but thats about all.. |

I'm just not into what i call "metal techno" which to me is all the distorted drill amen cutups and distorted bassdrums stuff. But I absolutely love the fuck out of agressive drum n bass. Are there any places in town where you can get cool weird masks? I have this thing now about masks. I want heaps of masks and I want to wear them around. |

hmm hmm hmm hmm |

|
|
i was at a friend of a friends place last night, and yeah it became apparent to me that there is a scene out there in perth. its rather tied in with ivans crowd. quite a few guys out there taking it seriously, even though the recurring themes are rather conventional.. so yes im going to do a bit of investigating for when ryan gets back in november |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean the way the scene is run is conventional or the music is? either way it shouldn't be a turn off, really... Pah. Fuck the "scene" anyways I'm rather do it on the ne,t there's less plugging in/unplugging .... ... ... ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the music is whats conventional.. aiming to please really.. which unfortunately is a means that falls flat on its face half the time.. hehe all ryan and i care about is playing gigs :] were going to go berserk! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
any of you's guys bought Big Day out tickets yet?, i almost did last night |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if any of you's guys is a south park fan, make sure you watch it tonight. Mon 8:30 SBS....i saw the advert and its a new episode to do with christopher reeves, soo funny :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i havent bought my bigdayout ticket yet.. dont have any money at the moment.. i wanna go though.. hopefully i can get some form of minidisc recorder or even a tape thing so i can record afx's set.. hehe |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

"the music is whats conventional.. aiming to please really..which unfortunately is a means that falls flat on its face half the time.. " Well in the local scene yeah, but careful not to look down too hard on conventional music, man, that turns into elitism real fast and that's ugly stuffz. As for the BDO - I really don't wanna go coz ...I dunno for some reason I fucking hate it and it's damn expensive. But I'll probably end up going. To see afx. Or I might not, I dunno. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) just being realistic, a lot of collaborators go in with a strong idea beforehand of what they want to hear, thats why a lot of the more experimental stuff is not given a chance. anybody who has had us play in the past tho, i wouldnt hit with the conventional tag.. more id refer to them as risk takers :] |
||||||||
|
|

|

"As for the BDO - I really don't wanna go coz ...I dunno for some reason I fucking hate it and it's damn expensive. But I'll probably end up going. To see afx. " I can fully relate to that!! besides I wanna see AFX at night, and where theres beer! |

__________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________2006____________________ __________________________________________ Man I remember this thread was truly great I just got huge nostalgia reading it, 17 years old I was back then. Next week I’ll be turning 21, and allot has changed since that time. Sad to see most of the Perth people have vanished, one of the greats Od step no longer in the game so I’ve heard but still posting occasionally on WATMM, donutman disappeared after the 2004 BDO, dont know what happened to knobcheese, rF moved to Sydney, bjg never posted again after moving to Adelaide and alky only posts at WATMM now days. The only ones left kicking are Princo, Toejam, rockenjohnny, zero-cool and myself, which I guess is not that bad compared to other cities. I know it might seem pretentious to some people but it got me thinking a week after checking Vibert at the Bakery, is there still a Perth electronic scene besides the big weekly commercial drum n’ bass & trance clubs/events? Being the cliché IDM recluse that I am, I wouldn’t know, it’s only when well established international acts stop though piss poor Perth on their way to Melbourne/Sydney that I go out. And thus I'm clueless with the local happenings on, and that makes me feel really guilty. The only Perth acts I know of and remember in the past years have been Squarepusher in 2001 which I missed, Prefuse 73 in 2003, AFX/Vibert 2004BDO, Merzbow/Whitehouse in 2004, Hrvatski a few weeks ago and Vibert last week. Oh yeah and Michael Jackson in 1997 :) It was great seeing Toejam at the Vibert gig but besides him there was absolutely no one else I knew. I do remember though getting vague hand shakes throughout the night from a jolly drunk white guy that could have been Princo, but I’m not sure, he didn’t really look like the long haired Princo in the xlt collage, however he did say that he knew me and haircuts only run about $15, so it must have been you? Continued.... |

A little investigating has brought me to the Myspace page of the people responsible for getting vibert to play last week. They must be pretty clued in because Luke was set to play at another venue (Adelaide or Perth I'm not sure) and the promoter pulled out so these guys were recommended instead. They and their friends look like nice people and all but I presume they are tied in with the new wave Indi scene what ever magazines call it, which is not really my thing and I have nothing against. I'm sure Toejam would agree with me it would be cool to get out and see some local acts, basic searching has taught me the only places besides that put on regular acts are And I wonder do they usually put on pumping shows or is it more artistically based? And who were the 8-bit crew? I must seem pretty pathetic to people in the know. Princo if that was you at the show shaking my hand then who were those two girls at the front hassling Vibert that looked like they knew you? One of them was Asian and the other had a tool t-shirt and who was the short black kid in the hoodie and the tall white guy with dreadlocks? |

times change dont they. im a lot more subdued now. club zho would be the more arts end of the spectrum. a mate and i went to a Very Serious noise act, some girl playing a bass guitar through feedback. it was terrible. the small crowd was basking in it like a good arts audience. my mate had his head on the table with his hoodie wrapped all the way around it. i laughed uncontrollably at his gesture the whole way through the set. aesoteric was held at the scotsman last time i visited. thats a decent thing theyve got going on. its only detracted from by the congested scotsman crowds. 8-bit recordings were noistruct, deadcode, the last ninja, and orange dust, who splintered early. they started out as digital hardcore enthusiasts. wayne (noistruct, top bloke) set up a number of 'void' gigs, and gave my mate and i (gate) a number of slots. the crew moved over east a few years back, wayne continued to do shows. hes now focused on the 'illegal frequencies' radio show on 2ser. |

wow, so many people from perth, and i think perth is only the 5th largest city in australia. where are the melbournians! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah, I remember this thread! :) But just reading aquagak's post, I thought that princo was from melbourne? Or did he move here recently? I always thought people like aquagak where always 'in the know' much more than people like me, in fact the only way I heard that Vibert was playing here was through xltronic. Same with the JJJ special... And rockenjohnny thanks for the info, you seem to know heaps and you've been here for ages as well. So in conclusion The Bakery has some occasionally decent stuff going on, as well as the Aesoteric being quite good? I have no idea what '2ser' is though (the radio show 8-bit Recordings is on) But yeah, good local acts will lead to the end of reclusiveness for us all! :D |

i saw a record store with smojphace in stock once, they went out of business soon after |
||||||||

|

|

Oh by the way... I realise I sound like a dickhead in some of these old posts/threads I was irritatingly naive and optimistic in those days. I was unfamiliar with the expected ettiquette and general ways of 'aphextwin.nu'.... Oh well, all you can do is learn from experience. I also rarely start threads these days, when I used to have a reputation along with Amonbrune for starting the most threads (some very trivial). haha :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
While I'm on about past mistakes and while aquagak's online, I just want to say.... "Sorry aquagak!" I still feel guilty because a couple of years ago I made a big fuss about seeing the Didgeridoo vinyl and I was all snobby and selfish and rude about not lettting anyone else know which store it was in. I never ended up buying it. As it turned out it was in Central Station but now they are closed for good, no one will get it. :( Serves me right I s'pose.... |
