A bit more on offer this week.
On Friday, you may want to take a chance on the Thod, playing the last night of their May residency at the Royal Derby in Brunswick St. with a couple of others. Entry is free, and beers are cheap. Did you know I almost got bitten on the neck by a pet snake upstairs at the Derby, many years ago? It's true.

On Saturday, eternal sideman and all round nice guy Stu Thomas is playing at Pure Pop in St. Kilda, in support of his new album, "Escape From Algebra". I haven't heard it yet, but I have seen the Paradox a few times and they are always worth your time and attention.

You could always hang around a bit after that, and check out what's on offer at the St. Kilda Film Festival , but I'd suggest heading over to Yah Yah's in Smith St. Collingwood to catch the last ever show by Deaf Wish. You would think that someone would get the coloured pencils out for such a great band's final gig, but try as I might, I can't find a poster for this anywhere. Supports are from the Stabs (who were in great form at the Old Bar last week) and Teen Archer. $12.00 gets you in, doors at 9.00, with Mikey Young DJing afterwards til 5.00am

U.V Race @ Royal Derby

Thursday. Went to Royal Derby for U.V Race, Woollen Kits, Acid Casualty and Splitfoot. Good bands, good sets. I'd never been to the place before, it's a great venue. The night was put on by Streetparty, didn't realise till about 10 when hurds of bright faced teens filled the place. A lot of them got right up front for U.V Race and did the "moshing" thing. I saw a few people get punched in the head and thrown about alot. One of them pulled on Marcus' ribbons on the sick costume Rex and Tara from Splitfoot made him. That ain't cool man.



Saturday i went to the Mountain Fold launch. Nice little mag. Free too! features:

- Sean Bailey
- Philip Brophy
- Circle Pit
- The Dead C
- Wet Hair
- Woods

Lots of free beer, couple of bands, good people. what more could you ask for..? a sausage perhaps?
