Tote Upstairs – LET'S NOISE!

ESPM @ Tote upstairs 10/07/26

Cloven Fang were conceived, concocted and imagined in Melbourne mid 2025 by Dirk King, Ick Waz and Danimal Steele. Influenced by early US punk and rampant idiocy, they played a handful of shows to anyone who’d listen, which was practically no one, before locking themselves in a dank room late that year to record some tracks of dubious yet undeniably spirited quality, on equipment that was as questionable as their motives.

Result? A four track, vinyl e.p containing short, ugly tunes, full of howls and fetor.

The launch of this splatter platter will take place at the Tote Upstairs on the tenth of July. Joining them for the commiserations are fellow aging dregs and 3/4 Bits of Shit, Cry Cyclops, a set of intense bangers by local gloominaries Metho, booze hounds and kebab shelvers Tankerville, and synth-grinding cyberspace bullies ESP Mayhem.
