Description:
Enough! Is there no-one who will ask the question: does Jarrod really have a back that hairy? I guess we just did. The answer, however, might never come to light because the Fabs are going on a 30-date US tour and this is their only Australian launch for 7 Songs. Let's give them a send off they'll remember so they come back to us, with or without waxing rash.

Description:
These Melbourne art-rockers are putting on a show that's probably worth the dollars you might attain for donating your liver. But we have some good news for the poverty stricken sods that sacrificed running water for a copy of Paradise. This Saturday, My Disco will perform with Kes and Fabulous Diamonds for a heinously reasonable ten bucks.
Event: Launch
Stimulus: A
Tireless music personality and friend of ThreeThousand and nownow, Michael Kucyk (AKA Nervous Jerk) holds up an ingenious mirror for us to see with the new concept album compilation, ESP. Assembled more along the lines of an obsessive fanzine or curated visual art show than your regular label sampler - ie: with planned, combinative aesthetic effect - this document stages new meaning to the music of more than 20 acts in a spirit of positive unification.
Fabulous Diamonds make avant garde music humbly disguised as pop minimalism. A counterpoint to all card-carrying local ‘art' groups, this restlessly inventive Melbourne duo is without doubt the genuine article; truly experimental, defiant of glib categorisation, advanced and yet totally stoned-sounding.
