Noise music can be one of the most divisive little buggers out there and there can be an extremely fine line self between exploration and outright self indulgence. And so it is with great joy to announce that the F*ck Buttons have produced an album that explores beauty and aggression equally, minus the boring bits.
For once Christmas will fall in June - at least for Even fans. Due to Fitzroy's Spanish Club ceasing to host bands in the near future due to noise complaints (why move to the inner-city for the atmosphere and then try to mute it?), revered local trio Even are bringing their annual Xmas gig forward a good six months.
