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.

Hello all,
Adam the Barbarian Meditator here once more with some exciting news. Ryan has given birth to a beast in the guise of his new album with his band The Maryettas. Called "Maried" it is available for free at The Maryettas' bandcamp

It features a great cast of players including Jackson Briggs (guitar, Nikko), Brock Fitzgerald (drums,The Scare, Wolf & Cub), Alex Mitchell (bass, Moses Gunnn Collective and even yours truly on violin and a certain Lewis O'Leary on backing vocals. This shit is great and shows off Ryan's incredible talent as a songwriter. Countrified and totally fried get this shit while it's still free!
