Revered Sydney powerpop combo The On and Ons will be previewing songs from Album Number Seven at their old stamping ground, Marrickville Bowling Club, on Saturday, November 8. Tickets are selling here.
The as yet untitled album is due on US label JEM Records in early 2026. JEM issued “Come On in””, a part retrospective-part new release that re-introduced The On and Ons to the North American market. The band had put out a single with American label Get Hip.

It is with extreme regret that Chris Masuak has been forced to cancel his forthcoming Australian tour with Dog Soldier and Spanish dates with Los Revelators after emergency surgery to save the sight in an eye.
Chris was rushed into hospital in Lugo, Spain, on Monday after experiencing a week of deteriorating vision. A surgeon re-attached a retina and Chris is now at home recuperating.
He is under doctor’s orders not to fly and will need time to manage his recovery. Ticketholders should contact venues or agencies. Chris hopes to re-schedule the dates for early 2026 and his new CD, “Chris Masuak’s Dog Soldier”, will be released on I-94 Bar Records on November 7.

He spent his early years as a player in Sydney’s underground music scene and also broadcasting its music on community radio. So it was a labour of love for ex-Vanilla Chainsaws frontman-turned-solo-artist Simon Chainsaw in 2009 when he put together a covers record of the songs of the era that inspired him.
Sixteen years later after the “Fuck The Neighbours” record, he’s taking to Sydney stages with a band bearing the same name whose members helped birth the music.
Named after a Thought Criminals song, “Fuck The Neighbours” is an all-Australian punk supergroup playing Oz punk classics for a limited number of shows. You can catch them for a matinee show at MoshPit Bar in St Peters in Sydney on Saturday, November 29. Tickets here.
Comprising Simon Chainsaw on vocals, guitarist Cub Calloway (The Saints, New Christs), bassist Bob Short (Filth, Urban Guerillas) and drummer Murray Shepherd (Fun Things, Screaming Tribesmen. Hitmen DTK) as the core band.
They’ll be joined at the MoshPit by guests including Mark Easton (Suicide Squad, Bedhogs, The Kelpies, Soggy Porridge), Geoff Holmes (X, Evil Rumours) and others to-be-announced.

Knighty and Mad Macka: They Really Like Beer.
Australia’s favourite beer-fuelled legends Cosmic Psychos are back with their twelfth studio album “I Really Like Beer” on Friday November 7, and they’re hitting the road the very same day. No mucking around. Tickets for all shows are on sale now via cosmicpsychos.com.au
Recorded to tape with Paul Maybury at Secret Location Studios between Knighty's vineyard duties and Country Fire callouts, the new record is classic Psychos. As raw, loud and gloriously dumb as ever - with the occasional life lesson hidden under a pile of riffs.
The first sip comes in the form of "I Like Beer", a touching love letter from Ross to his true love. This one comes to life with an absolutely bonkers video (we’d expect nothing less). You can watch it after the fold.

Tokyo’s wildest garage punk trio, The Fadeaways, are returning to Australia this November - and are heading to New Zealand for the first time.
It’s six shows in five days covering both countries by The Fadeaways who are marking their 20th anniversary.
The band had a scare recently when guitarist Assman was invovled in a work accident that resulted in a broken ankle but he will be fighting fit for the tour.
Supports are to be announced but all gigs are expected to sell-out based on the reaction to The Fadeaways’ last Australian visit in 2024.
