Jay Reatard Tribute Review

I got to kick things off by DJ'ing which was cool, then there was a showing of an early Jay Reatard/Boston Chinks Euro tour. Useless Children killed my ears and played a ruling set. UV Race did a strong set, also played a new song which i thought was sick. Kamikaze stole the night with their Reatard covers and audience participation. Dj's Tom Mcguigan, Candy Cut, DX and Brain Children were also sick.

I have video, gimme a few hours and it'll be up(it's worth it!)

A handy guide.

There seem to be a few bands around town at the moment with vaguely similar names. It's not as bad as the great wave of Wolf/Hand/Bird acts of a while back, but regardless, here's a handy guide, to make sure you don't end up at Pony when you should be at the Birmy.

Wasted Truth are an awesome noisy two piece.
Truth From Facts are an awesome noisy trio, with an album due soon.

Mother and Father are the first act signed to new Melbourne label Z-Man Records.
Mother and Child do not have a record deal. Nor, it seems, a MySpace page.

Useless Children are a fine noisy bunch of youngsters, with a six-track EP out.

Brain Children are Mikey Young and Max Kohane, and they have an EP out too, on Aarght! Records. It looks like this:

Not to be confused with Baby Brain , by the way.

I can't find much info on Racing Daphne or Scott and Charlene's Wedding, but here are some pics that turned up in image search:

Make of that what you will.
