What better way to start a show of all aussie tunes off than with the less popular but far more awesome band of wollongong wowsers of the mighty riff thumlock. it was so awesomely apt that we also finished the show up with more thumlock, but here i am getting ahead of myself. so i digress, we were very happy to play another taste of shpongle in reminiscence of last weekends rainbow serpent festival, which from all reports will struggle to meet the bar now set so high in future years. but a treat for all this weekend is budd's album launch at the tote. tune in next week for a full review and for some brand new tracks from their fresh release! Another tune that has been sitting in the want to play pile and this week we finally got around to it with the sand pebbles and my favourite track of theirs or pherhaps most recogniseable in honour of them being awesome aussie ( melbourne) musos, but also playing a benefit gig for RRR's the ghost thats on this monday night! check it out via www.rrr.org.au.
Too much talk of the great tunes we were playing really limited our list and so i'd expect there to be a few treats coming up next week, but thats half the fun hey, playing good shit then talking about how good it was, especially when its all home grown you feel a bit more proud and want to share this quality stuff to listeners overseas in greater detail, but i said something about digressing earlier so i should keep the ramblin a tamblin'
to go with our great lineup of aussie rock'n'roll we had our macgyver meal this week be nothing better than a half arsed barbeque segment, with ideas for cooking dead animal on a flame grill, yep that about sums that about, was pretty lacklustre in my department but saved by tristans recipe from the mighty judge of belgrave for a tasty barbeque pork in a Cider marinade and barbeque sauce, not sure if that was in there, but of course you have to have some sauce on top otherwise it just aint right.
Anyway the rock prevailed and we reached the end with a decent little swell of a list under us.
proud as always we were happy to give you a great soundtrack to an invasion day, sadly forgot to do a house of a thousand 80's VHS review this week but will continue to aussie it up next week with a review of the classic the big steal, feel free to watch in advance and join us in the banter if you can call it that.

Show 30: Rainbows, Tomatoes & Sweden....
ok so something a likttle different, here i am writing the spiel to the show on a late saturday night on a porch with a nice coopers green in hand at 3am. tonight i got on it at the tote and saw the mighty swidgen, heavy stoner doom brilliance, got in a bit late but caught king parrot who also gave a good dose of tunes to set the bowels a rumblin' , anyway pretty done right now but felt the urge to get something up here in a nicely intoxicated state and take my mind of the ringing of the ears that was earned so well.
Swidgen, fucking brilliant and have a cd on the go for ten bucks but in my state of boozed out freakdom missed the opportunity to grab a copy for the show this week but spoke to the bloodied up drummer, whose name i shamefully forget, and hopefully will still score a few tracks from via email (pilottheduneradio@gmail.com) for the show this week to treat you with what the latest top rockin band in the melbourne scene has on offer.
Also found out on this quiet saturday that the sons of the ionian sea had a gig at idgaff ton ight. bit shit that the bars promoters didn't mention anything of this on the various street press's of melbourne otherwise im sure there would have been more than one in the audience for the show.
was prety funny though with the huge crowed there was that only about 30 people were in the actual bandroom during the swidgen set! poor form, and i know im a victim of it in the past, having too gooder time to bother moving over to see what i actually paid to get into, but for few bucks sake people get in there and see some awesome tunes, spread your legs and take in the mighty riffs and let your cocles do the rest!
so enough bullshit, although i gotta say there were a few sweedish backpakers at the bar making a bit of small talk and the best music discussion i could get out of them was refused, after trying to explain a triple homicide of sweedish rock i quickly realised the futility of such a discussion and aborted with whatever grace i had left in my pocket, not much let me tell you.
so this weeks show was pretty fucking cool. as always an opening bracket of the new goodes on offer as well as getting psyched for an oz music special in annual celebration of invasion day next week by playing a bit of the great peeping tom. Also hope you enjoyed the 3mdr three killer tracks from the world of sweedish stonerrock, went for some personal and possibly lesser known faves from the mighty truckfughters dozer and lowrider! and enjoyed playing the birthday request from topher in canada of some classic sabbath.
but this week we hope to crank a bit of great doomness from clagg in celebration of their album re-launch, not sure hoe that works but should be pretty cool, as well as the legendary budd being finally by all accounts releasing an album of gutbusting fortitude on saturday at the tote, all great excuses to play some aussie tunes for the big week thats coming up just round the corner.
dont forget open mics up at scarab bar in belgrave on tuesday nights, hopefully your pilots will drag their sorry areses up there over the next few weeks to play a couple of tunes from the KOME days...
an yway enough thinking im semi interesting and writing shit. im gonna finish my brew and hopefully see hear from you all for some awesome aussie day requests this week, and yes mr. Richard stoner doom you will get the thumlock you've been asking for all this time!!!
hope your weekend was as earsplittingly productive as mine and be well. tune in for a full rainbow serpent update next week and a more sober (or so the station manager knows) review of this weekends shinnadigans!!!!

Show 29: Van-Fucking-Tastic!
Indeed it was, with a great house of a thousand 80's VHS's jump back into the simpiler 70's where special effects lacked bryan brown, rape was laughed at and B grade meant B grade in the film SUPERVAN. starring an obtuse electric van named vandora and some sort of freak out event that can only be described as an excuse to show lots of shots of cool old school vans and some awesome original airbrush jobs that you just don't get to see today. so anyway if this is all confusing you, just check out 3 minute supervan on you tube for a total movie summary save yourself 87 mins of your life and use it more wisely, pherhaps wander up the road, get some beer and put on the fu's king of the road as a good supplement for this vanhicular film.
So Shpongle the massive are doing a special tour as part of the rainbow serpent festival, with tristan wearing nappies till he goes straight after next weeks show, especially after all reports from their solo show give the impression they are here to make an impression! and as such were granted a special play during this weeks gig guide.
Stories of leeches and deer hunting gave a great excuse to play some more cool tunes and lots of other awesome shit happenned this week with a macgyver meal of a breakfast pizza a tasty and warm alternative to toast which some losers call an open omlette pfff... fools. some massive sidewave tours were announced too with high on fire and kylesa, qotsa doing the original and best album in its entirity for their tour with a much welcomed back nick oliveri (hopefully) and Motorhead are touring this year too!
But more next week and remember our oz music special on the 27th to cure some post australia day blues, after we are told all day to only eat our aparent national meat lamb and having been force fed many sad examples of national pride with tossers wearing fuck off we're full shirts on this our "invasion day", till then suck it up and rock on dudes
The Grand Astoria - Rat Race In Moscow
Been Obscene - The Magic Table Dance
Thee Oh Sees - Everything Went Black
Shpongle - Nothing Is Something Worth Doing
Buried Feather - Magnetised
Baptism Of Uzi - Dead By Dawn
Down - Eyes Of The South
