BREAKING NEWS! SYDNEY GIG TONIGHT CANCELLED!

Dear fiends of Scraping,

Unfortunately, due to unforseen illness making it impossible for Ryan to travel, we Scrapes have had to cancel our appearance in Sydney tonight at The Grifter Brewing Company's meet & greet at The Little Guy in Glebe.

We apologise to any of our fans or friends who were looking forward to checking us out and we can only promise that we will be back again in the future! We also apologise to our friends at The Grifter and wish 'em all the best for tonight. Thanks for your understanding guys! Bloody legends.

Anyway you bastards should all show up anyway and support local made produce. Fuck corporations and fuck imperialist globalised liquor brands...even if they are cheap and intoxicating...get a Grifter up ya!

See you another time Sydney!

Tally-ho!

The Scrapes be Griftin'

Hello you bastards...

Soooo in the sehr nehr futuhr we Scrapes will arrive in Sydney...Wednesday to be precise, the day of Woden...to play at the launch of some fine beer locally made by some guys we don't know with some guys we do know...yep. The beer is THE GRIFTER and it is allegedly a fine brew (I don't know I haven't tasted it but I believe the Ryza has). This ain't no corporate shit, this is locally made DIY beer of the finest quality and we wouldn't back it otherwise. Beer is an highly important intoxicant for we Scrapes being Australia males and all...anyway enough shit from me your Barbarian Meditator, here be the details and the poster:

24 October
The Little Guy, 87 Glebe Point Rd, Sydney, Australia
6pm til Woden knows when.
It appears to be free too.
There are no limitations placed on we Scrapes so it will be a long set or a few sets including all our classic no.1 hits, free improv madness and Rallizes Denudes-inspired ear ringing plod-alongs...don't miss this shit man.


And we ain't kidding...unless someone pays me thousands of dollars to come home from Africa we will not be playing in Sydney again for quite some time so get on in and get on off....

BARI Festival this Friday....

Dear Scrapers,

This Friday we Scrapes shall be installing ourselves in an installation...a light installation for that matter...at BARI (Brisbane Artist Run Initiatives) Festival, 5 October, the Judith Wright Centre for Contemporary Arts, Brunswick st, Fortitude Valley. We'll be in the shopfront and it's free. 8-10pm with Scraping at 9pm. This will be essentially a blind date between us Scrapes and the strange flashing light beast created by Ketpis. Don't miss this shit...Presented by Small Lakes.
