We Scrapes shall be supporting them for a show here in Brisbane, Australia on Thursday the 28th of July at Cartel which exists on Caxton St, in what I believe is now called Paddington but what once was Petrie Tce. It's a coffee shop so it will prove to be a great intimate night of ambient delight or something. We Scrapes will be first up around 8:30pm it is believed. More to come on this....

A short story on Swan Districts. Last year we performed in Adelaide at what was supposed to be a lovely gallery gig. Good turn-out, bad beer...what more could you want??? Unfortunately someone didn't sort out certain legal issues with the local constabulary so the gig was cut short and we and Swan Districts didn't get to play...LUCKILY...someone in the audience was involved in another space nearby so those of us with the necccessary cajones moved onto this next space and played a quiet set in the basement...Swan Districts and us Scrapes...they were troopers for doing it and they gave us some tapes as well which are killer. We listened to them the next weekend in Hobart looking at the mountains and drinking good beer. These guys are coming to Brisbane and trust us Adelaide isn't only responsible for abominations like Hilltop Hoods and West End Draught...they also create some good droney guitar rock a la Spaceman 3 with even more mogodon up em....so come to Cartel God damnit...
