Description:
If you are from Melbourne, this is your 'crooked brand of art-rock blistex', this is your blood-and-mercy strength music for modern wandering Jews. This is your Beat Happening-style-minimalist-pop so charming, so thankfully un-professional, so gleefully egalitarian it's a breath of fresh air.

High Vibes? Really? It's not like Northcote's residents need any extra encouragement...

The Twerps don't sound any good with a pillow over your face. Not that you're likely to head to the Empress this Friday with a Sealy Posturepedic under your arm, but this information will come in handy if you ever happen to crash at a particular house-cum-studio in North Melbourne and the band are recording late into the night and you're trying to get some sleep because you have to work in the morning and you're out of Temazepam and all you want - all you'll ever ask for again - is ten solid minutes.

It's easy being green when you're young and full of lust, but to be writing songs this good in your thirties, well... you better have the wit and imagination of a roomful of Oscars. If you were still chowing down on your parma when the full house sign went up at the album launch, now's your chance.

Just in case you didn't mark your calendars when we told you about this album launch in the review, here it is again! The lineup is perfect. It's rock music with twinges of art or kraut, yet wholly Melbourne sounding, and if you're still not convinced then try to read what Mark had to say about it without getting distracted by the underboob shot.
Event: Bands & DJs

Heavy Profession
Heavy Profession is a rock record proper, Romantic and drunk on poetic absolutes like all good bleeding heart music should be. Everyday realities - friendships, money, street hassle, the weather, love - come into it, but always drawn through leader Jarrod Quarrell's particular prism of desire and dreams; his classic outcast's vision making over the real world in boundless emotion, euphoria and uncertainty.
