Jan 30th 2012 - Happy New Year, DEAD go to New Zealand
Order the DEAD LP here Actually the Aussie version of the DEAD LP is on it's way to selling out. Bout 150 of the 200 copies pressed have sold since it's release on Oct. 31. That's 50 a month. So if that keeps up it will be sold out by April for sure. Now very exciting news is the announcement of the KARP documentary screening in Melbourne. Email me if you want to reserve a ticket or purchase a DVD copy. KARP Lives Don't sleep on this, it will sell out. DEAD are working on a remix album, it won't suck and will feature a heap of great artists.

Nov 30th 2011 - DEAD LP is selling fast
Order the DEAD LP here The DEAD/Cyberne East Coast tour was absolutely killer. Thankyou to the great many people who helped make it possible. The DEAD LP is selling fast. 100 copies gone and we have not even started promoting it properly. This will be the only pressing to feature such awesome and labour intensive packaging. If it sells out I hope there will be a second pressing of some kind but I can't guarantee that by any means. DEAD are also touring New Zealand for the first time in February including an appearance at cult festival Camp A Low Hum

September 24th 2011 - DEAD return from US tour, Embark on East Coast Tour
Pre-Order the DEAD LP here DEAD have returned from a one month tour of USA with Unstoppable Death Machines These blokes put on a killer show every night and we hope to see them come over to Oz in 2012 so we can return the favour. the DEAD LP is availble NOW from Wantage USA if you are northern Hemispherian. Southerners gotta wait about one more week for the WeEmptyRooms pressing to be ready. Cannot thank Josh Vanek enough for supporting our US tour and running total fest. Missoula truly is a magical place full of amazing human beings, we can't get back soon enough. DEAD are back on the road this weekend for a short run of NSW and ACT. Then the Australia LP launch tour begins with 12 dates on the East coast with Japanese legends Cyberne. This is truly exciting stuff, any fans of heavy, fucked up tunes do not want to miss the power of Cyberne live. Full dates and supports announced soon.

June 18th 2011 - I'm on the bandcamp bandwagon
WeEmptyRooms Webstore Get on board ans stream and purchase to your hearts content. There is even a killer deal for 3XLPs $55 post paid. That's some outstanding value right there.

May 24th 2011 - DEAD return from SE Asia a little fatter
DEAD & onion have returned from an amazing run through South East Asia. There are too many people to thank but none so more than the tireless champion Cher Tan of 7x0x7 booking collective without whom there would have been no tour. Footage and pics from the shows are trickling in and will make it to the DEAD website in the coming weeks. We released a cassete version of the DEAD album for the tour and it sold way faster than we anticipated. Sorry to people who missed out on a copy. If you ask real nicely the good people of Ricecooker record shop in Kuala Lumpur may still have a copy for you. The LP version is a couple of months away. Also Inappopriate Tough Guy Behaviour are playing a couple of very rare shows! How exciting. Well it is for us anyway. There are 3 or 4 copies of the ITGB LP left. Come to a show if you want one.

March 4th 2011 - Hard Ons Live LPs are in the mail to YOU.
The Hard Ons LPs took a lot longer to get out than I planned. Thank you all for being so patient. It's selling well, maybe i will even make my costs back! Hard Ons will be touring Australia in March/April so you cna grab a copy at a show too if you like. DEAD are currently bookina a tour of USA for August 2011. Wantage USA will release the DEAD LP over there and WER will do a local release. Exciting times lay just ahead. Oh but before that they will tour SE Asia! Yes that deserves an exclamation mark. And finally I am very excited and very proud to announce an incredbibly rare Melbourne performance from Japanese Industrial/noise musician/inventor DEFEKTRO!!! Collabortator with Bastard Noise, builder ofinsane stomp boxes you can buy and creator of his own, one of a kind instruments. Defektro has not played melbourne in a few years and this will be something special indeed.

Jan 11th 2011 - Hard Ons/Manges split 7 " out NOW!.

Inappopriate Tough Guy Behaviour are playing their first Melbourne show in AAAAAAAGES. Feb 17th at the Arthouse. It's gonna go off. DEAD will have a record out by May. You can quote me on that.

The DEAD undies are selling well, come to the next gig and we will have hoodies too. Oh and come to the Fire Witch show at The Tote on Christmas eve. They are supporting SOTIS who rock extremely hard.

Nov 30th 2010: DEAD lives!.
DEAD played their first gigs on Fri and Sunday. Thanks to all the people who came down and supported the shows. We were pretty nervous and having mates come down made us less so. We also did a live to Air on 3CR AM and you can download MP3s of the show here If the link doesn't work just copy and paste this into ya browser

The DEAD tour continues this weekend in Adelaide, then Melbourne again, then the East Coast. If you want a pair of screen printed DEAD undies let us know 'cos i'm not going to make too many of them. I figure they are a limited market! Oh and DEAD also have a website: www.DeadSounds.com

Nov 12th 2010: DEAD is upon us.
DEAD is upon us! Possibly the most talked about band in my living room for the last 2 months, and definitely the most impatient in the history of WER. The band formed in September and will play their first show on Nov 26th at The Prague, Thornbury with Wicked City, Nunchukka Superfly & Teen Archer. They then hit up Adelaide the week after, East coast after that and are currently booking a South East Asian tour for May 2011! Have they done a recording yet? No. Has that hindered them booking shows? Slightly. Fangs of a Vengeful Altar Boy will play their first ever show at The Old Bar on Dec 10th. And it is to launch their split 7" with Injured Ninja (Perth). I would advise attending this show. Blackie (Hard Ons) will finally release his solo album this month! It's been years in waiting and well worth it from the sneak peaks i have received. Come to the Old Bar on Nov 27th (sat) 3-6pm to help him launch it. Also playing that day will be Laral and Roller One.

Oct 10th 2010: I am webmaster of power!
The site is looking better don't you think? Look how many kickarse shows there are to go and see. DEAD is a new band comprised of Jace (Fangs of...) and Jem (ITGB/FireWitch/Fangs of...). They don't have any recordings out but that's done nothing to stop them booking a tour. Go see this band, it's going to be really special.

September 9th: 2010: New Releases in the can
Hard Ons LP is off to the presser. Pre orders for the Hard Ons Live LP (ltd. 500 copies)will be open shortly. If you are on the WER mailing list you will find out when and you won't miss out. Check the WER myspace page for killer shows coming up in Melbourne and NSW. All this webmaster stuff stresses me out! Proper webstore coming sometime in 2025.
