This week comes with two new upcoming release announcements.
First up is the second album from Cheap Gloomer titled A Clean Kitchen coming next Friday Juky 25th via the Silhouette Label. Creed McTaggart swaps the surf for the studio. Written on the road while surfing around the world, Creed hit The Shed studio in Stanwell Park with producer Jez Player and recruited a bunch of musical friends to help bring the album to life in the studio. The studio band features James Kates (The Pinheads/Shining Bird/Bimbo) on drums, Steve Bourk(Hockey Dad/Step-Panther/Bimbo) on bass, Russell Webster(Shining Bird) on keys and Luke Player(The Pinheads/Tropical Strength/Richie Weed) with some lead guitar contributions. At its heart the album has a sixties rock/folk feel but also taps the nineties lo-fi indie folk and slacker rock vibes. For fans of Nick Drake, Bonnie Prince Billy, Gram Parsons, Smog and Mountain Goats. You can pre order the vinyl here and check out the clip to the latest song below.
Next up is a heavy hitting EP release from Gold Coast band Deathproof on Farmer & The Owl heavy music imprint Fowl Taste. The band are a powerful mix of hardcore and thrash metal, and it’s all captured across six songs on a limited 7” release. You can order it here and listen to it below!
I usually highlight my one off DJ sets in this column but thought I remind you about my regular DJ spot at Howlin Wolf Bar in Wollongong. I’ve been doing this for a long time and it’s always a fun night. You’ll find me there most Friday and Saturday nights from 8pm til midnight spinning party anthems from across the decades on vinyl only, entry is free!
