I recently contributed a video for Make It Up Club’s current online gig series… and of course I forgot to mention it here in time for the stream but you can watch the whole gig, and all the previous ones, on the MIUC youtube channel now.
My home recording set-up is pretty shit and I’m not too stoked about how this turned out sound-wise but it was fun/stressful to do. Thanks MIUC for having me!
HOT TIP: UMBILICAL TENTACLE will be doing a collab with Christian Bishop A.K.A. XIAN for the last MIUC of the year streaming on the 22nd of December!
Fart Swash!
Haven’t updated here for ages… I haven’t really done any “proper” music/noise during the pandemic but I did get this amazing new noise machine from my friend and humble genius Electrofarts, which I’m calling the FART SWASH. It’s an Electrofarts interpretation of the 4MS Noise Swash and it sounds fuggin siiiiiiick!!!
SULFURIC CAUTERY/GIRTH Melb shows!
Girth (USA) offer up a rancid goregrind feast fit only for the morbid(ly obese) with their immense weight supported by Melbourne grindcore smashers Internal Rot, grinding death metal bulldozers Incinerated and hard Jardin’ goregrinders Clogged!

First ESPM gig in ages, and our first gig with Cher on vocals! We’ll be playing a bunch of brand new songs, and they’re more wild than ever. Including future hits like “The One With The Absurdly Long Blast Parts” and “The Slabber” (slam + gabber = slabber)!!
Also – new outrageous Bloodsportswear shirts! If you love copyright infringement, robots, and excessive sleeve prints, you’re in for a treat!
