25 May 2018
Pat will be playing solo at Primitive Motion's album launch on Saturday June 2 at Alchemix in South Brisbane. Costs $10
23 June 2017
Soft Knocks is released today! That's right, it's here, on LP and CD through Tenth Court. The cd is a co-release with new Melbourne label Trashed On Foam. Check out Soft Knocks' op art front cover here (click image to see back cover).
A new video clip for Daily Grind being assembled from lots of little pieces is due to hit youtube in a few days.
There's also a special cassette re-release of Side Projects from 1998, which is available as a bundle with Soft Knocks or on its own. Buy any of these from Tenth Court. Soft Knocks LP can also be ordered from The Business in the US.
5 May 2017
Our new album Soft Knocks will be out soon on Tenth Court. The release date is set for 23 June and we'll be launching it here & there some weeks later. Feel free to pre-order it.
And check out the new clip for Crash Crush: video
21 October 2016
Our Reissues Relaunch Tour is coming up, kicking off in Adelaide on the 10th of November then on to Melbourne, Hobart and Brisbane. Tenth Court is releasing one of our new numbers "Party Pooper" as a single to coincide so we'll be launching that too! Details below. While in Melbourne we'll also be helping May Dreamers launch their new album at another show.
2 August 2016
Shelf-Life the LP has hit the streets. Get it while you can! Plans are afoot for some shows to "relaunch" Shelf-Life and Too Far Gone To Sell It (reissued in May) most likely in October.
Meanwhile Pat's playing solo in Brisbane on 17 September. That's with Sarah Chadwick and Matt Kennedy at Trainspotters. 12 June 2016
Siltbreeze's LP reissue of Shelf Life is out late this week! Can't say exactly when we'll be holding it in our hands here or making it available locally (stay tuned), but if you can't wait go here to get the vinyl from the US or download it.

Plus! CD stock shock: a bunch of ole Shelf Life CDs were recently found in the Either-Way Records garden shed, so we now have about sixty left instead of six, enough to bother putting it up for sale shortly. Good timing.

And of course there's the other reissue released a month ago, Too Far Gone To Sell It. Get the LP (+download) from the label, LCMR. It's also on sale at some stores eg Phase 4 and Rocking Horse in Brisbane, AG Picks in Richmond and maybe others. Have a listen and/or download it on bandcamp.

even older news
23 March 2016
Well the long-rumoured vinyl reissue of our '94 album "Shelf Life" on Siltbreeze is not too far off, it should hit the streets in 2-3 months. Meanwhile, new Brisbane label LCMR is re-releasing "Too Far Gone To Sell It" from 1991 also on 12" vinyl. That's expected in May so we'll be celebrating both at the same time with some live shows probably in July/August. We don't have any gigs planned before that but you never know. Our new album "Soft Knocks" is about ready to roll. You can listen to 2 of the tracks "Sugar Beats" and "Mirror Maze" on the player above, and there's now a picture of the front cover in the sound tab.
