I am back

I am broke.

Nothing new to report, really.

Come party with me.



Everyone will be very good looking and well dressed.

Maybe bring a beer for me and we can be friends.

Deaf Deaf are my new friends. They are broke too, but prove that stuff can still be done on no income.
Here is a reveiw of Georgia's party to give you an idea of what to brace yourself for on Saturday.

NED AND THE MEDS, DEAF! DEAF!, THE TRUFFLE PIGS - HOUSE PARTY, BRUNSWICK - Written by Andy Hazel



"House parties! The odd neighbour aside, who doesn't love bands playing in a living room? This was a classic example of the sort of party that shouldn't be missed. Tonight, from between the floral sofa pushed against the wall, and a vase of artfully arranged shuttlecock 'flowers' against the other, amidst occasional power outs, dodgy sound, stubbies, cigarette smoke, raised laughter, coats, bags, earnest conversations, and about 60 audience members of varying intoxicated states, came the music.

...Then came Deaf! Deaf!. Shoving squealing mics into their amps, beating three drums (one skin broken), hacking a bass (one string broken), slicing at a guitar (two strings broken), bashing a heavily distorted keyboard and skronking three notes out of a sax, this no-wave three-piece worked in total abandon, changing instruments for each song and forcing their music through a wall of tiny amps. No question, here was what lesser bands flounder to get at. Genuine and joyous no-wave; energy that needs no melodic constraints. Tara Green, mic in one hand, beating a floor tom with other, and sounding like a burning matyr, visually and sonically galvanised their free-form noise assault. If someone could give guitarists Kieren Hagarty (sic)..and Shaun..Short (sic)..a pick before they strum their..fingers to the palm, they might..last long enough to gain a following.

...Bring on summer and..bring on more house parties..."

So I'll see you Saturday, yeah?
I like Cooper's Pale.
