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!!!!
