Updates – Jan 2025

It’s been a while…

SPASMOSLOP – been working on a new album on & off for over a year. In trying to cook up the sounds that are in my brain I of course made it stupidly over-complicated and incomprehensible but I’m trying to make it make sense. I record in a really basic way and mix everything in Audacity and have no fuggin idea what I’m doing so it takes forever. Currently remixing it for the 2000th time, then it’ll get mastered by someone who does know what they’re doing and should sound sick.

SPEW BALLOON – nearly finished our new 6-track EP. Studio recording with lots of mics & shit, but being mixed by Tolman so it sounds proper filthy & wild! Should hopefully be released in some form in time for Flippin The Bird or one of our other gigs in March. Then planning to record for a full-length album mid-year or so.

ESP MAYHEM – a few gigs coming up. Been jamming a lot ahead of recording for a full-length soooooon.

CLOGGED – possible resuscitation and new release 2025/2026… maybe…

G.B.S. – new recordings in the works for some kind of release

STRESSED OUT STRAIGHT GUY – despite not actually being very stressed out I’ll be doing vocals for this HEADLESS DEATH punk rock side project thing, unless I get replaced by an actual SOSG.

Upcoming gigs:
08/02 – ESP MAYHEM @ Last Chance w/ Pissbolt, Religious Observance, Tumour
26/02 – G.B.S. @ Last Chance w/ DJ RND2TR
01/03 – SPEW BALLOON @ Flippin The Bird, Singing Bird Studios w/ heaps of other bands. All ages!
07/03 – SPEW BALLOON & ESP MAYHEM @ Spit, Footscray w/ Mortal Ambition (SA), NPCede. All ages!
29/03 – SPEW BALLOON @ The Tote front bar, 3pm arvo show w/ Derailment, Overthrone

Second Spewies 2.0 gig with my/everyone’s favourite noisy bastard Brad on geeeetar ripping solos and other high-octane rock’n’roll madness!
