    ... ruminations of a horrified social distancer on his evaporating way of life in the shadows of the green death plague.

    "I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
    For they always bring me tears
    I can't forgive the way they robbed me
    Of my childhood souvenirs.." - John Prine
     
    "They tried to get me lots of times and now they're coming after you/ I got out and I'm here to say, 
    Baby, you can get out, too"  - Johnny Winter 
     
    "Love is land..."  -Duran Duran 
     
    "Hidin' out and layin' low ain't nothin' new to me..."  - Guns N Roses 
     
    Every morning brings bad news. I'm worried for Marrianne Faithful, John Prine has passed and a couple no-name rocknroll underground legends and personal friends you ain't never heard of. Alan Merrill of Vodka Collins and the Arrows' passing was a sad day, indeed. For years now, I've noticed how it's an annual tradition, almost a law, that some university bona fide but tragically lazy professional journalist writes an obligatory cover story at every entertainment weekly, each year, about the next big girl group, that suggests Joan Jett wrote the 70's glitter anthem, "I Love Rocknroll" by Alan Merrill and the Arrows, a really fabulous, bubblegum glitter stompin', unsung glam gang, and it kinda always makes me feel a bit conflicted about the perennial Jett-Lagg myth-protecting and gives even more credibility to those other Runaways gals who testify about Joan's management always deemphasizing their contributions to her worldwide brand.

    The Mark Of Cain returns to the stage this October performing their debut album “Battlesick” in its entirety. 

    Originally released in 1989 via indie Adelaide label Dominator, Battlesick sounded like no Australian album before or since. Tracks like “Wake Up”, “Dead Man’s Mail”, “The Setback”, “Call in Anger” and the title track addressed the fear of dreams, the threat of death, anger over disappointment and personal setbacks; not exactly the subject matter of an era when Kylie Minogue was queen and Ratcat were primed to become the pinnacle of the underground.

  • New Mick Medew & Ursula album

  • Superstar Japanese rock revivalists only SYD show!

  • Out Nov 15

  • Sydney's psychedelic supergroup!
