THE DATSUNS SMOKE AND MIRRORS LP

get this,,cool artwork,gatefold sleeve,great songs...not instant but a grower..don't expect the first album..enjoy another album from a fine band with rock 'n' roll spirit.
Go see them live ..details are at www.thedatsuns.com.

THEY ARE DEJA VOODOO

Deja Voodoo...not the Canadian one but the New Zealand one are a fine,smart arse,punk rock 'n' roll band who also make pretty funny tv shows.
Check out their myspace page for all the info you need on the band.
The second album..BACK IN BROWN is out on cd here in New Zealand right now.
Me, I'm waiting for the vinyl version.
Saw these guys play live twice in the last week..once at Brewers Bar in Mount Maunganui and once at The Basement Bar in New Plymouth. The New Plymouth show was one hell of a good show.The current tour (Oct 2006) is with Steriogram and a newer band called Shaky Hands.
Shaky Hands sorta sounded like an XTC type of thing...matching t shirts as well.Band uniforms are on the way back in as an entertainment fashion?????????.
Check it out if you have the chance.
You will be able to see these guys when they open for Shihad/The Datsuns on their 2006/2007 summer tour.

MAINLINER SOLID STICK ATTACK LP

I was lucky enough to get hold of a copy of this lathe cut lp..great sounds in a colourful cover.
A limited vinyl version of a cdr that the band released. great to have it in this format. I hope to see more of those cdrs turned out like this.

Mainliner,in case you don't know(and I figure you do if you're even reading this) are a great noise,psych,crashing,crushing bundle of burning noise rock,a storm but sorta the calm eye of the storm as well...enough of that..just pick up a Mainliner record whenever you see one.

NEW POSTAL ADDRESS

After a long,long time we have relinquised the po box. All mail should go to 37 Lyn Street, New Plymouth 4615, NEW ZEALAND.
keep those records coming.........
