Melbourne Flip Out '09

I had a great day at Flip Out on saturday. I was lucky enough to be Stage Manager for it. Thanks to all the bands and punters for making it such a sick day. And of course Dan and Johanna for setting it all up and making this happen. Oh! and Rigid for bringing out James Arthurs Manhunt.

There wasn't a band playing i didn't like, but of them all i'd say my favourites would have been:

TEEN ARCHER
DICK DIVER
JAMES ARTHURS MANHUNT
SLUG GUTS
GOODNIGHT LOVING
OOGA BOOGAS
SUPER WILD HORSES
ROYAL HEADACHE

I took some photos, ran around all day and managed to drink a few beers on the side.

Teen Archer







James Arthur



Slug Guts





Ooga Boogas aka THE DOORS









Super Wild Horses







I really dug Dan Lewis and the Brain Children dj sets, was great to see peeps still rocking at 3am after such a long day.

JAMES ARTHURS MANHUNT

Tonight in the Cobra Bar(Upstairs from the Tote!):

James Arthurs Manhunt

Who is James Arthur?
What is a manhunt?

James Arthur is a Texan hick who spent a lotta time as the driving force behind some of the best '90s underground garage/punk/psych bands -- Fireworks, Necessary Evils, Feast of Snakes and the Golden Boys, among others -- recording for all the hippest labels of the day like Crypt, In The Red, Sympathy, even appearing on fine Aussie imprints Au-go-go and Dropkick. He's been dormant for a while, distilling a toxic brew of psychedelic noise in the basement of his ranch in the Hill Country outside of Austin.

He's just got together a new band, JAMES ARTHUR'S MANHUNT, and has recorded an LP for Australian taste-makers Aarght! Records. We are proud to bring you the first such JA foray in some time. We brought you Eddy Current Suppression Ring, the Ooga Boogas, UV Race and Super Wild Horses so you know damn well you should listen to it. Manhunt will be touring Australia in August & September of this year in support of the LP, playing at both Flip Out Festivals in Melbourne and Sydney, with a handful of side shows.

We don't know what a manhunt is. James is kinda gay.
Which is cool and all, and ballsy for a Texan.

$10. 8.30pm

A sly Thursday.

Well, that was fun.
I survived the inaugural Sydney Flip Out, just. Highlights are too numerous to mention, really, and basically boil down to hanging out with fine people and keeping within earshot of great music. Oh, and some beer. There are live sets from most of the bands here - thanks, Morris.
If you are in Melbourne and can't wait, this show at the Tote tomorrow may help:
