A Very Heartless Xmas

Although mostly unrecognised by any Westralian, Australian or international media, Heartless Robot have been quietly releasing some of the best music Perth has had to offer over the past 3 or 4 years, making themselves by default Westralia's best label. They've had an especially good run this year with Smrts' "Have Friends And Visit Them At Night" (Tristan Fidler's choice for album of the year and mine too),  Drowning Horses' double LP!!!!!, Decibel's "Stasis Ecstatic" LP, the Bamodi/Mekare-Kare split 7" and plenty more. Now it's time for the 2nd or 3rd (who can remember back that far) annual Heartless Robot Xmas Show! For 15 bucks on the door or less preorded, you get like 8 bands. 

Don't be a dick.

Bamodi @ The Gasometer 11/10/2012

bands that tour together lure together.

Bamodi at The Gasometer in Melbong. Decent odd beers and long chips and a nice sized room. Thanks to The Bonniwells for the gear and Jon Bonniwell for the rolls. We had a great time in Melbong, good greenery, the dandenongs were amusing, food was good, friends were fully sick. The coffee was not good enough and neither were the records though*

*Great local stockage, poor import selection.

Bamodi @ Bar Open 10/10/2012

Bamodi & friends reconcile with formerly excommunicated former drummer Scotty.

Bamodi at Bar Open in Melbourne. The kebabs a few doors down were not excellent* but the junkies on the street were amusing. Thanks to Constant Mongrel and High Tea for the gear, missed the start of High tea and didn't record but they were real great.

Bamodi @ The Metro 09/10/2012

GIG OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!

Friday 7th of September

Loftus st Party w/ Water Temple & SMRTS

It'd been a long time since we threw a party at Loftus st but this was a killer. We screened Raed Melki's Still Flowin, a charmingly true story which is often described as R.A.E to the motherfucking D's 8 Mile, to an audience of us and Deni. The neighbours weren't home, the  cops never showed and we all got loftus'd so everybody wins.



Water Temple were pretty rough by the time we played, so it was one of our best sets. Download here.

I only recorded the last 9 or so minutes of SMRTS' set, blame Matt, but it was their best set yet. They were fucking intense, everyone cut sick, end of story. Download here.
