DAZOOK

TRANSISTOR

DUKES VEDA

Dazook play Yah Yah’s on Thursday 23 May with Transistor and Dukes Veda, it is free entry!

Dazook is a Melbourne two-piece sludge/stoner outfit consisting of bass and drums, formed by musicians Al Cooke and Cam Mogg – ‘‘We like to play loud!’’

Upon taking up the very rare opportunity from good friend Pna Andersson of Scarecrow Music Group (SMG), Dazook jetted across to Sweden, to record their debut EP. With the SMG studio located among the cool stores in Årsta and the cold Swedish winter setting upon them, Dazook set to work with Pna to create the grimy, gritty four track EP that was recently launched at Cherry Bar, Melbourne.

The duo has played numerous shows around Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, in Sweden whilst recording and are looking forward to playing at Yah Yah’s Thursday 23 May with guests Dukes Veda and Transistor!

GO GENRE EVERYTHING

BODIES

ASTRAL SUNRISE

Just realised the other day that Go Genre Everything have been playing gigs for 10 years now. Wickedy wack huh? Lucky we had already booked this gig with some other long term rock n rollers being the cast and crew of Bodies and Astral Sunrise. So now we can celebrate in noise, volume and style. And it's free on Friday 24th May at Yah Yah’s.

Go Genre Everything are originally from Tasmania and one of the best kept secrets of the indie rock scene. They are really amazing. As Molly would say, do yourself a favour and check them out. So come out and celebrate 10 years of Go Genre Everything!

BODIES are the sonic equivalent of two boulders drunkenly fighting in quicksand. Burdensome riffs. They've played with bands such as Midget/Nation Blue/Blacklevel Embassy/SixFtHick/The Meanies/Splatterheads/Budd and a million other bands. They've toured New Zealand with brothers in arms Batpiss and have a split 7" coming out soon. BODIES are a fire started by a careless match, an ambulance in a car crash, a strange day, a dog that bites, a broken lightbulb, a busted knee, the sound of two trains fucking, an open wound, a cross to bear, an empty gesture, an unfinished letter, a harsh word, a dropped elbow, a rusty tin. BODIES are a shark made out of mud. A toothless grin. Gravel and granite.

SEXY HEAVY

THE COUNCIL

SUBMARINE VOLCANOES

Sexy Heavy are a sludge rock n roll group from Melbourne. They headline the night which includes the The Council and Submarine Volcanoes.

The Council are a double-barrelled rock, with a steaming guitar and a hot, fat drum up the back, it’s no effort to play a set and drink a pint. The matching outfits just make them play louder and better.
Hamish McLean (guitar/vox) and Derek Anderson (drums/vox) have played the local rock and roll scene with their signature sound since 2003, including two highly received spots at Melbourne’s own Cherry Rock in 2009 and 2010. With choruses as big as Texas and their latest house blend of Council-esque gospel, blues and rock, it can be forgiven when forgotten that there’s only the two jokers in this band.
Having recorded their latest self-titled LP (out on 12” Vinyl in early 2013), The Council continue to show the crowd exactly what it takes to be a two-piece rock outfit, with their catchy originals – such as crowd favourites “Nigel” and “Bang Bang Baby”; and the occasional inspired cover – “Personal Jesus” being described by one punter as “gritty and aggressive.”
The Council. They’re fun, they’re loud, and they’re challenged by fashion. They look like two and sound like more. … way more

THE SOLICITORS

HAILER

DARK FAIR

Hot on the heels of signing to influential local label Popboomerang, the Solicitors are excited to announce the launch of their debut EP Made To Measure.

The Solicitors bring to the table a youthful, fresh take on New Wave Power Pop, inspired by the greats and tailored for the modern world.

For a taste of Sydney Psychedelic Rock’n’Roll Pop, catch Hailer on tour supporting the Solicitors launching their new album Another Way.

Beginning the Another Way journey at guitarist Pete Beringer's studio compound in early 2012, they took the clocks off the walls and by the 8th sunrise they had a new album on tape ... but this breakneck speed was bound to crash. A few weeks later, Pete, who engineered the album, dislocated his shoulder whilst cavorting with his girlfriend. Delays to livelihood and album progress ensued by way of surgery, sling and analgesics. The chips were down.

Ten months and 10,000 miles later, Nick Stumpf (Caveman, French Kicks, Coke Weed) mixed and mastered the new album in Brooklyn, NYC.

 Although the new material shares the eclectic spirit of Hailer's first album Good Canyon, the new recordings track a departure from the psychedelic mellow sound-scapes of their debut, to a more rhythmic guitar-driven music resulting in an intensity of sound that the groups live performances are known for.

Hailer’s second album Another Way will be released 31st May, 2013. New single and video ‘Spooky Clams’ is out already, with the second single tipped to be ‘Postcard’. See

The Solicitors EP is launched Friday June 14 at Yah Yah’s with supports from Hailer (Syd) & The Dark Fair

HELLO SAILOR VINTAGE FAIR & CRATE DIGGERS RECORD FAIR

The Crate Digger Record Fair, Melbourne’s longest running inner-city record fair returns to Fitzroy’s Yah Yah’s on Saturday 4^th May. Held in conjunction with the Hello Sailor Vintage Fair, Crate Digger is the place to take your search for those elusive pieces of vinyl that you simply must have in your collection. 

For this fair we have a range of stallholders, including two veterans of the Melbourne rock and roll scene downsizing their private collections, a stallholder returning from a buying trip through Europe and the USA, as well as our usual range of private collectors and record shops. 

Expect everything from classic rock and roll, indie, pop, blues, punk, soul, doo-wop, R&B, reggae, ska, dub, electro, disco, soundtracks… we cater for all genres, with a mixture of local and overseas pressings, to help you find sought after rarities or collection fillers. Prices range from the dirt-cheap bargain bin specials, right through to rare, once in a lifetime finds that might cost you a pineapple or two… 

As always, entry is free, the beer is cold and the good people from Disco Beans will be serving up some tasty Japanese home-style snacks for your browsing pleasure. 

Doors open at midday – so we’ll see you down at the Crate Digger Record Fair at Yah Yah’s on Saturday 29th June.
