#perth street punk

[brandenzp]

[calciumcryptid]

Now that PROJECT JASP.ER is a thing, we deserve an ensemble (AouBoom, JoongDunk, PerthSanta, and PondPhuwin) dance themed Boys Love so here is my general plot proposal for it (obligatory when I refer to the actors names it is simply a placeholder for proper character names):

General Characters

Pond is the son of wealthy and strict parents who joins the resident dance team. He initially does it to rebel against his parents but genuinely falls in love with dance and wants to pursue it as a full career.

Phuwin is an off-the-walls flirty rebellious free-spirit who explores abandoned buildings and does graffiti who practices his art on the side of the dance studio building (and he is dressed genuinely punk).

Boom is Pond's older brother who obeys their parents, and tries to convince Pond to quit. The culmination of his arc is telling their parents to fuck off and let them pursue what they want. Maybe he is a stifled creative in his own right.

Aou is the captain of the dance team who is trying to restore it to its former greatness, so he is an enthusiastic mentor to Pond. He should be both compassionate and serious.

Joong is a "mysterious brooding loner" street dancer who is actually a huge dork which is gradually revealed throughout the show.

Dunk is a DJ and music student who the team recruits to find the best music to dance to, but Dunk has an assignment where he has to create a song people can dance to (he needs to be really intense about music to the point people think he is a snob).

Santa is already a member of the dance team, but his passion has kind of fizzled out.

Perth is the manager of the rival team, who is trying to get Santa to defect to his team.

For shits and giggles, the rival team should be played by LYKN. No other reason than shits and giggles (maybe even throw in Est as the manager of the main dance team), and the two dance team names should be very bad parodies of their real life group names (like, I'm just spitballing, Plan Tige.reye and OBPM).

General Romance Plot Ideas:

Pond catches Phuwin practicing his graffiti on the side of the dance studio and tries to get him to stop, until Aou catches them mid-scuffle and tells Pond Phuwin is allowed to practice there. Phuwin says Pond isn't fun, and if he ever wants to be fun he should call him. Seeing Phuwin as a way to piss his parents off more, Pond takes up the offer and Phuwin is very flirty as they go on a lot of vaguely illegal dates. At the big end of the series competition, Phuwin could be the one who makes their costumes.

Boom tracks down Pond and tells him to stop but Pond refuses, so Boom turns to their captain Aou and threatens him to let Pond go. Aou decides Boom believes that because he never experienced dance himself, and is determined to prove otherwise. Aou gives Boom the confidence to stand up to his parents, and leaves to support Pond and Aou at the big ending dance competition. (I don't know if there is enough crossover to understand this, but if you are familiar with School of Rock and the dynamic between Dewey Finn and Rosalie Mullins that is the sort of vibe I am going for.)

For an assignment, Dunk has to create a song people can dance to, so with Joong having nothing to do he recruits Joong to help him out. They try to play it cool to each other before they both reveal their dorky side, which leads to a very fun and goofy dance number. Dunk gets an A on his assignment. I imagine they would be the first couple to truly get together.

Santa's passion is fizzled out and Perth thinks his talent is being wasted so he tries to recruit him to his own dance team, except they fall in love and have a big falling out when Santa learns the reason Perth approached him in the first place (where it is revealed Santa had a crush on Perth for years and thought Perth was genuinely interest back) and Perth is all teary eyed because he loves Santa.

No Clothes Scene Proposals:

PondPhuwin in an abandoned building (bonus points if they do it against very artistic graffiti).

JoongDunk in a recording studio.

PerthSanta in a dance studio (mirrors and all).

AouBoom in Boom's parents' office.

Regardless, lots of dances where one party is seducing the other. It would be sexy.

Bonus: A lot of cameos from other GMMTV artists where they play other dance teams or creatives.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this little ramble. I'm open to any suggestions, alternatives, or expansions to the ideas presented. I tried to give them all something different than what they usually play because I believe in letting actors showcase full ranges.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY!

Dragged Up 'Hex Domestic EP' is OUT NOW!

https://cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/hex-domestic-ep

Formed in Glasgow (UK) in late 2018 with members from Trembling Bells, Vom, The Owsley Sunshine and Las Mitras, Dragged Up's debut mini-album "D/U" was released in 2020, to positive reviews and critical acclaim from the likes of Louderthanwar: "like classic CBGBs proto-punk transplanted to rain-drenched Scottish streets" and Record Collector Magazine: "an all-seeing, culture-cannibalizing slacker classic."

Mentioned in the same breath as Scottish indie-rockers Teenage Fanclub and garage-punks The Primevals, 'Hex Domestic' presents four new tracks showcasing their seamless cross-pollination of doom, psych, proto-punk, garage rock, and spoken word.

"[On] the Hex Domestic EP, the five-piece continue by putting their best foot forward, creating the kind of slacker sounds that cure hangovers. Songs that combat fumbling through pitch-black hallways consumed by A.M. dread with sleepy harmonies and a scuzzed out an alt-rock aesthetic that teleports you back to your youth." (Simon Kirk, Sun 13)

High Vis Unleashes Raw Punk Energy with New Single "Mob DLA" + Tour Dates

London's High Vis has unveiled their latest single, "Mob DLA," via Dais Records, marking their first release of 2024. This track channels a raw street punk energy, offering a visceral preview of their upcoming album set to drop later this year. High Vis vocalist Graham Sayle sheds light on the inspiration behind "Mob DLA," stating: "The relentless public service cuts over the years have had a devastating impact on UK communities. People are forced to justify their need for help, undergoing dehumanizing tests to prove their eligibility for support, even for lifelong disabilities. Marginalized groups are left to fend for themselves, only to be vilified in targeted media smear campaigns. Meanwhile, political and industrial elites enjoy ever-increasing bonuses and salaries. I've witnessed this in my own family—the palpable stress and anxiety of people merely trying to carve out a place in a world that feels increasingly hostile. Yet, amid this sustained neglect, the strength of community action stands resilient." The latest single precedes a string of festival performances around the globe this summer, including Hurricane Festival in Germany, Hellfest in France, Glastonbury in the UK, Louder Than Life in Kentucky, Aftershock in California, Mondra & Roll in Spain, and more. High Vis will also be accompanying Speed for a run of shows in Australia this August and September alongside Pain of Truth and Fuse.

Debbie Downers: Eat My Skorts (2018)

Free downloads are great because it keeps Omega WUSB running. As a wild-card show on the call letter’s station, we need everything good we can get because we have no idea who our listening audience is, whether dialed locally or streaming worldwide. That doesn’t keep us from providing everyone a diverse range of sounds and viewpoints for everyone tuning in.

We acquired a few releases from Australia’s Helta Skelta label and it’s the Perth femme-punks only release (and on cassette), taking big cues from early female punk bands such as Kleenex / Liliput and Petticoats (according to their Bandcamp) while vocalist Lisa Lou takes notes from Bikini Body. With Scrambled Megs on backup vocals and bass, Cleh Greggy on guitar, and Ashley Ack / Ack!Ack!Ack! on drums, Debbie Downers shove their entire bankroll towards riot-grrrl punk and feminism, possessing upbeat shouts and rough post-punk / d.i.y. qualities as they pain over the female submission of traditional marriage (”Bridal Dress”), late-life loneliness (”Franklin Street”), and society’s standards on how to dress (a cover of The Nubs’ “Job”) where the Perth quartet shift gears many times. The red flag for males? “Man In A Panic”, because Debbie Downers could care less how you’re hurting. Their focus rather goes to females for feeling the same because they’re the ones who need it more. Men, this is not a release for you.

Lucky’s Pizza - Smith Street in Perth Amboy, NJ

I was in Perth Amboy recently for a punk show at the Copa de Oro and decided to hunt down some food between bands. Having never had pizza in Perth Amboy before, I decided to check out Lucky’s Pizza a few minutes walk down the street. The selection was pretty much non-existent (2 plain slices and 2 buffalo slices) and I was tempted to try the plain....but come on, how good does that buffalo look? And it did NOT disappoint.

A lot can go wrong with a buffalo slice, but Lucky’s nailed it on every point. The pieces of chicken were huge and flavorful, the sauce had just the right amount of kick that lingers a little but isn’t overpowering, and the crust held everything together perfectly. At $3.50, this slice is a must try no brainer. This is easily the best “new” buffalo chicken slice I’ve had since Mack’s introduced their’s in 2015. If you’re in the area, give it a try. I was blown away and if I’m ever in Perth Amboy again you better believe I’ll be going back.

“Punky fresh” Fashion Shoot in Northrbridge, Western Australia. (William Street)

[caffeinated-fan]

Transcript one; Sgt. Brad “Iceman” Colbert and Cpl. Josh Ray Person.

Brad: No, keep the engine off, Ray.

Ray: Brad, can you hand me that pencil, the one with some eraser still on it? These Coax connectors are sucking up the dust.

Brad: Ray, watch that grid pin connector behind the blue force tracker.

Ray: Roger that big gay Brad.

Brad: Well, I would hate to lose our Satcom UHF antenna.

Ray: It is fucking sweet.

Brad: The era of VHF concentric network warfare is finally over. All our battle management software is sweeping in direct link. Falcon View anytime we need it. That’s twenty-first-century warfare for you.

Ray: Actually Brad, Falcon View is a civilian version. It’s like over the counter.

Brad: You mean off the shelf.

Ray: Yeah, I said that. 

Brad: No, you didn’t.

Ray: Yeah, I did. But I used a poor choice of words, I meant to say off the shelf. I wish we’d installed those Bose outdoor speakers on the roof. Just roll through Iraqi towns playing music like Gg Allin.

Brad: Ray, are you breaking my “No Country Music” rule, again?

Ray: Are you kidding me? Gg Allin is like the original Punk Rocker who believed killing people should be legalized. He was fucking awesome.

Brad: Well, we don’t have speakers. Frankly, I’m glad. Anybody remember recon Marines are “Swift, Silent, and Deadly”? 

Ray: What about “Swift, Silent, and Stoned”?

Brad: What? Why do you always say that stupid shit? You don’t even do drugs. 

Ray: Well, how do you know? 

Brad: You were on the debate team in high school. 

Ray: So?

Brad: Nobody on the debate team does drugs or gets laid.

Ray: I-I just don’t see the facts in what you’re basing your argument on.

Brad: We all know you didn’t lose your virginity ‘til after Afghanistan. The whore in Australia, Ray. 

Ray: Okay, Brad. She was a European African woman.

Brad: A ‘European African’?

Ray: Yes, she was. 

Brad: No, she wasn’t. She was one of those big, angry, drunk women in the street in Perth selling boomerangs and playing didgeridoos.

Ray: Brad, Brad those just aren’t the pertinent facts, alright? We’re having a fucking professional debate here. And besides, she just grabbed me when I came out of the bar. It’s not like I asked.

Brad: Even if you’re claiming to be raped the fact stands you were a virgin until we got back from Afghanistan,

Ray: What about you, Brad? Some little pointy-headed Stewie baby raking the shag carpet in your fucking family’s living room.

Brad: Stop it, Ray.

Ray in a posh accent: Father, Mother, where is my carpet rake? Young Bradley Colbert the lonely freak with no friends who’s sole pleasure is raking the shag carpet of my mother and father’s house.

Brad: Ray, that is not relevant.

Ray, speaking over Brad: Brad, Brad, listen, listen, Brad. You used to rake the fucking shag carpet in your parents’ house. You used to rake it so all of the fibers would go in the same direction. That is totally, type-A OCD behavior, Brad. It’s kind of pathetic.

Brad: I DID IT ONCE, RAY. Once, and the point is-

Ray: The point is, Brad, you’re so fucking cute when you’re angry.

Brad: Turn the engine over, Ray.

[ementhusiasm]

A Playlist Of Melbourne´s Electronic Music Scene

Meilen entfernt von den pulsierenden Drehkreuzen für elektronische Musik in Städten der nördlichen Hemisphäre wie Berlin, Lissabon und London haben Produzenten, DJs und Musiker in Melbourne, Australien, begonnen, eine eigene Underground-Szene zu schmieden - eine, die gesund genug ist, um illegale Parkpartys zu unterstützen kleines Netzwerk von schweißnassen Kellerclubs und eine große Auswahl an Klängen für das linke Feld. Musik ist seit langem ein wichtiges kulturelles Element in Melbourne. Bands wie die Birthday Party und Cosmic Psychos haben wilde Anfänge im Punkrock beschritten, und viele ihrer späteren Acts - von The Avalanches über Cut Copy bis hin zu King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - waren weltweit erfolgreich. Die elektronische Musikszene der Stadt ist jedoch noch relativ jung, und ihre Künstler sind weder vom Genre noch von den Vorurteilen, wie ihre Produktionen klingen sollten, abhängig. Infolgedessen hat die Szene alles produziert, von galaktischen Synth-Psalmen bis zum Ambient-Breakbeat. "Derzeit scheint es hier eine kleine goldene Periode zu sein", sagt Rory McPike, auch bekannt als Rings Around Saturn.

Dass Melbournes elektronischer Underground floriert, während ähnliche Bewegungen in anderen australischen Städten ins Stocken geraten sind, liegt zum Teil an den lockereren Gesetzen der Stadt. Die restriktive stadtweite "Lockout"-Richtlinie von Sydney schreibt vor, dass kein Kunde nach 1:30 Uhr morgens Clubs betreten darf. Laut dem Oberbürgermeister der Stadt, Clover Moore, hatte das Gesetz dem Nachtleben einen „Vorschlaghammer“ verpasst. In Melbourne sind die Öffnungszeiten entspannter. "Melbourne als Stadt hat möglicherweise die beste Lage für ihre Veranstaltungsorte, da sie später nachts geöffnet bleiben dürfen, um das Nachtleben und die Kultur zu fördern", sagt Griffin James, auch bekannt als Francis Inferno Orchestra. Die befreite Clubkultur der Stadt hat dazu beigetragen, die Popularität unorthodoxer elektronischer Klänge zu verbreiten. „Es gibt viele Crews, die Partys veranstalten und kleine Communities gründen, die Spaß machen, inspirierend, offen und sicher sind, um kreativ zu sein und sich auszudrücken“, sagt McPike. Das, was diese Crews vereint, ist ein gemeinsames DIY-Ethos. Obwohl das Internet eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Verbindung weit entfernter Szenen gespielt hat, haben Melbournes Labels und Künstler es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Musikstile aus aller Welt auf ihre eigene Art und Weise zu adaptieren. „Ich habe das Gefühl, dass wir aufgrund unserer Distanz zu Europa und Amerika mehr als an jedem anderen Ort in neue Musikstile eintauchen, die aus der Online-Kultur stammen“, sagt James.

Da die Szene noch relativ jung ist, müssen ihre Pioniere oft improvisieren, um Veranstaltungsorte für Live-Auftritte zu finden. Carolyn Schofield, die als Fia Fiell astrale Ambient-Musik produziert, trat in Kneipen der Nachbarschaft und bei einigen DIY-Festivals lokaler Veranstalter auf. "Es ist viel schwieriger, Events in Clubs zu organisieren, als sie nur in anderen Veranstaltungsorten wie Pubs, Bars, Studios, Lagerhäusern und Galerieräumen zu veranstalten - besonders, wenn Sie elektronische Musik live spielen und nicht auflegen." sagt Schofield. Wie viele Mitglieder von Melbournes Electronic Underground sind auch Schofields Einflüsse vielfältig und reichen von Drohnen und Minimalismus bis zu nicht-westlicher Musik und Jazz. - "Ich habe das Gefühl, dass die Möglichkeiten mit elektronischer Musik endlos sind. Ich habe ein paar Jahre an der Universität gelernt, wie man notierte Musik schreibt, aber ich habe das immer mehr als eine Fähigkeit oder ein Werkzeug gesehen. Elektronische Musik zu machen war für mich immer viel einfacher, intuitiver und unterhaltsamer.“ Fia Fiell ist nur eine von vielen neuen und etablierten Künstlern, die im Untergrund von Melbourne tätig sind. Folgende Künstler stellen nur eine Momentaufnahme der weiteren Szene dar.

Rings Around Saturn, benannt nach Photeks Pharaoh Sanders-Sampling, atmosphärischem Drum & Bass-Schnitt aus dem Jahr 1995, ist der bekannteste Pseudonym von Rory McPike. McPike arbeitet in einer atemberaubenden Auswahl elektronischer Stile, vom Artcore-Dschungel bis zum ruckelnden Maschinen-Funk der 1980er-Jahre. "Ich versuche, nichts zu erzwingen oder das, womit ich arbeite, in ein bestimmtes BPM oder Genre zu formen. Auf diese Weise fühlt sich die Musik an, als käme sie von einem anderen Ort. Wenn ich mich voll und ganz damit beschäftige, sind die Endergebnisse immer besser." - "Glacial" aus seiner Erosion Part 2-Veröffentlichung auf Analogue Attic fühlt sich an wie eine glitzernde Fläche aus Permafrost, mit unheimlichen John Carpenter-Drohnen und Krautrock-Rhythmen. Egal, ob er als Rings Around Saturn oder als Dan White, Pickleman oder Turner Street Sound aufnimmt, alle Projekte von McPike zeichnen sich durch seine Vorliebe für Experimentierfreude aus.

Goin' Good EP by Rudolf C

Rudolf C (Rudolf Dorr) ist ein DJ und Produzent, der crunchy Analog-House und ungewohnten Elektro macht und zusammen mit Shedbug (Geordie Elliot-Kerr) das hoch angesehene Label Salt Mines betreibt. Seine Goin ’Good EP zu Shall Not Fade wechselt vom erhabenen Elektro-Funk von „Da Mind Da Body Soul“ zum üppigen Horizon-Chasing 4/4 des Titeltracks. "Ich versuche nicht wirklich, das Rad neu zu erfinden, ich möchte nur Clubby-House-Songs machen", sagt er. „Meiner Meinung nach hat eine gute House-Melodie eine Basslinie mit drei Tönen, einen schönen Pad-Patch und piepende Synthesizer-Geräusche: einfach und effektiv. Das Gefühl eines gesunden Wettbewerbs ist sehr hoch", erzählt er weiter. „Meine Freunde und ich versuchen ständig, uns zu bekämpfen. Jemand wird diese Brenner-Melodie zu einem Gruppen-Chat senden, und ich werde da sitzen und sagen: "Ich kann sie nicht davonkommen lassen, ich muss jetzt eine größere Melodie machen."

Songs in Your Name by Huntly

Die DJ und Produzentin Nite Fleit (Alysha Fleiter) kreiert kosmischen Techno und Elektro, der in ihren eigenen Worten von The Exaltics, Umwelt, Drexciya, Plant43 und Sync24" beeinflusst ist. Das Sydneyer Label Plastic World paart einen launischen analogen Rhythmus mit unheimlichen Riffs und gespenstischem Bass, während ihr Remix von Huntlys „Please“ eine Übung in sauer korrodiertem House ist. Die gebürtige Melbournerin entdeckte bei der Clubnacht ihres Partners, Pelvis, tiefere Tanzmusik, als sie in Sydney lebte. "Ich begann mich für einige der Platten zu interessieren, die sie spielen würden - Musik, die ich vorher nicht richtig beachtet hatte, wie New Beat, Industrial, Italo und Acid", sagt Fleiter. Die Belichtung löste ihre eigene Besessenheit mit elektronischem Sound aus und nachdem sie einige Jahre im Rahmen des Sydney-Duos Lady Shave ihre Fähigkeiten als DJ und Produzentin verfeinert hatte, zog sie zurück nach Melbourne, wo sie sowohl von der Clubszene als auch von den Off-Stars inspiriert wurde. Grid Warehouse und Parkpartys, die die Bewegung befeuern.

Where Will You Be Spending Eternity? by Francis Inferno Orchestra

Fantastic Man & Francis Inferno Orchestra (Griffin James) und Fantastic Man (Mic Newman) leiten Superconscious, ein Label, das dazu beigetragen hat, das Profil mehrerer prominenter Tanzkünstler in Melbourne zu verbessern, darunter Andras Fox und Luis CL. James und Newmans Produktionen sind wohl einige der ersten, die die Stadt auf den Plan rücken und reichen vom geräumigen Ambient House von Fantastic Mans „Rhythm Algorithm“ bis zu den psychoaktiven Traumlandschaften von „Mer Morte“ von Francis Inferno Orchesters Nebenprojekt Veranda Culture. James pendelt zwischen London und Melbourne, während Newman hauptsächlich in Berlin lebt, aber monatelang zurückkehrt. Beide haben das bemerkenswerte Wachstum der Szene bemerkt. "Vor ein paar Jahren, als ich aus Melbourne kam, fühlte ich mich als Außenseiter in der globalen Szene, weil die Leute nicht dorthin schauten", sagt Newman. "Jetzt sehen Sie, dass wir über den Sommer viele Festivals haben, bei denen die Buchungen super nett und unterirdisch sind."

The Jackal Pt 2 (BSR007) by Sleep D

Corey Kikos und Maryos Syawish sind zusammen Sleep D, eine Produktions- / DJ-Crew aus dem Vorort Frankston, die das einflussreiche Label Butter Sessions leitet. Ihre Einstellung zu Hause ist meditativ und hypnotisierend: „Bush Snake“ aus The Jackal Pt 2 EP beginnt mit geistesverändernden Drohnen und einer Säurespirale, bevor sie im letzten Akt ihre Detroit-Technostreicher enthüllen. Ihre Veröffentlichung "Red Rock" ist eine atemberaubende Tour durch zonked Ambient Techno. Sleep D´s Weg in die elektronische Musik führte über The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers und Daft Punk. "Nachdem wir Radio gehört hatten, haben wir angefangen zu produzieren, Schnitte zu machen und auf Hauspartys von Freunden aufzulegen, und wir hatten nicht viel zu tun, wo wir aufgewachsen sind", sagt Syawish. Später entdeckten sie die tieferen Nischen des Genres, indem sie online stöberten. Die Butter Sessions / Noise in My Head-Compilation Domestic Documents Vol. 2 ist eine gute Einführung in die Melbourne-Szene sowie ähnliche Acts aus Perth.

Colours Of Infinity by Colours Of Infinity

Andy Donnelly machte ursprünglich Detroiter Techno-beeinflussten Dubstep, Bassmusik und Left-Field-House unter dem Spitznamen Kloke. Doch sein jüngstes Projekt, Colors of Infinity, widmet sich dem Sound der 1970er und frühen 1980er Jahre, den Architekten elektronischer Musik. "Ich ging zurück zu den frühen Ambient, Krautrock Zeug", sagt er. "Ich habe ein paar Jahre damit verbracht, Brian Eno und Cluster zuzuhören." Sein Album “Colors of Infinity” ist eine packende, gelegentlich verstörende Platte, die von den zersplitterten Beats und kaskadierenden Synth-Arpeggios von „Bomb Shelter“ zu den Ice Cavern Blips und Pieps von „Falling Apart“ navigiert, was eine Vorliebe für Early zu Aphex Twin verrät. "Aphex Twins Selected Ambient Works Volume II war schon immer ein großer Fan von", sagt er.
