With their Corner Hotel show having sold out in a just a few weeks UK band Swervedriver are pleased to announce a 2nd and final Melbourne show: Monday 14th September at the Northcote Social Club

Unlike their Corner Hotel show though, for this performance Swervedriver will not be playing their album Raise, instead they will perform a career retrospective; best of the rest, if you will. A show packed with even more Swervedriver goodies. Joining them will be special guests Fancy Weapon themselves riding high off the back of release of their debut album. What better way to spend a Monday!

Los Angeles power-trio Primitive Ring make their Australian debut this October as special guests to Mudhoney.

Touring off the back of their self-titled debut, Primitive Ring bring a potent blend of classic rock, acid punk and psychedelic blues. “The album pulls from the same sludgy psych well as Blue Cheer and the early Stooges, but the energy reads more like a party!” – The Fire Mote

Don’t miss the explosive ‘rock action’ of Primitive Ring live! Tickets for all shows on-sale 9.00am Tuesday June 30.

This is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill. The Mark Of Cain will play!

Fancy Weapon is another new project for ultra-productive guitarist Mick Turner, also featuring Guy Maddison (Mudhoney), Joel Silbersher (God / Hoss) and Claire Birchall (Paper Planes). Their debut self-titled LP is to be released by Melbourne label Poison City (Bleak Squad, Frenzee, Camp Cope, Cable Ties, Chimers) in July and is a collaboration in every sense with all members contributing material that recalls some of their respective pasts but which also moves in a number of new directions, as expected from such high calibre and passionate creators. Sample their wares here.

… can only mean one thing; the Return of SWERVEDRIVER. This time playing their classic debut RAISE in its entirety, plus an extended set of SWERVEDRIVER classics.

Sydney power-duo Chimers guest on all east coast shows, psych-rock trio Brown Spirits also join the action in Sydney and Melbourne and Lake Mammoth open in Fremantle.
