Westralian two piece Gulls playing at Dada Records. The man on the right in this photo is Matt Aitken, he just hosted the best NYE party I've ever been to. I stole my friends bike and rode off into the distance only to return home on foot at 5:30 and woke with no memory of the incident. I will never take acid and dexies together again.

Get it HERE.

Enjoy.

Mental Powers playing in linear mode at Dada Records. Look at that attractive man in the blue shirt, his name is Lewis Waters and Ladies, he's taken. This set reminds me of a band I've seen a few times but actually good.

Golden Staph playing their second show of the day at 208. Launching their s/t LP which I recorded a long time ago and was released by RIP Society. The Staph also played a set at Real2Reel a week later which was sick. Hopefully the band will play some more shows someday but Onton (who now lives in Berlin) has a krewl nu-band called Diät and Pat (who lives in melbong) now plays in School of Radiant Living who are also sick.

Helta Skelta @ 208 17-12-2011

I don't have any photos of the gig but here's one of Pat in his natural habitat by Casey Ayres.

Helta Skelta playing at 208 17th of December 2011. This would be followed by Suffer's set but my lift was leaving early, bummer. All in all these were probably the two best local gigs of the year.
