Tape haul from Dada Records. Jeff Beck w/ Jan Hammer Group Live II is best, the internet refuses to acknowledge it though, must be a rip off of some sort or tape only sequel but it sounds like Wired.

Recording from Ben Stewart.

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.

Dada Tapes





Dada Records have been irregularly hosting gigs in their garage for longer than I've been around to get drunk and spill beer at them and most of the last few years of gigs have been organised by Dada's employee/local film maker/good dude Ben Stewart who also happened to record them all on his handheld 2-track, much like me but instead of making a blog that no one gives a shit about he decided to compile them into a fantastic cd. Dadas pressed 200 of these and have already given most of them out but for all you losers who didn't get one it's now available on the internet. It's a fairly accurate summary of most of the "key players" running about in different circles around town.

Download it HERE.

ENJOY.

Dada Records 20th November 2010

Dadas, what a great place, a fine selection of flat black discs, crusty characters, stale jelly beans and a swell location to hear some live music should your persuasion run in that direction. On a nice day in November a few bands played in shared garage space behind the store.

The first of these bands, Jasper and Chris, were the highlight of the evening. I'm not sure if the novelty of seeing an explosive 5 year old boy playing drums with an 80something year old perth guitar vet didn't make up half of the appeal but the other half was surely pure blind talent. A blazing debut/one-and-only gig that proves the age old phrase true: "songs serve only to support solos".

Dragging themselves away from the Rambo machine at Timezone for long enough to play were perth punk supergroup Bamodi.
Only their second gig in the current McGrath-Boobs-Hooper lineup, Bamodi thrashed through 25 minutes of chuggin', yellin' and vommin' with aplomb even managing to throw a Beat Happening cover. A band surely going places*. One review posted on an unfavourable website claimed that Bamodi were the best band of the evening, however as good as they were this is not true, that distinction belongs to either Astral Travel or Jasper and Chris.

The Silents have come a long way over their time together but it's a shame they don't have more to show for it. The band have played proficiently every time I've seem them over the past 3 or 4 years but they fail to make a great impression. To their merit they aren't half bad but they lack enough good dynamics and a sense of excitement, too many songs in the same touchtooslow tempo and too many unnecessary and fruitless changes. In essence not enough buzz. If they all took more speed they might turn out alright.

Astral Travel definitely made a bigger mark on the present audience with their dexy fueled driving rawk. This band get unfairly tagged by the clueless as hipsters, which they quite clearly aren't. Special mention goes to ultradude Tim Loughman and his propulsive drumming. The band that could, the band that should, let's hope they're the band that do.

ps Sorry for the lack of updates over the past few months I've been busy with a few bands, a few records, a few short holidays and a few missed enrolments.
