RIVER OF SNAKES return to Melbourne's seminal home of all things rock ‘n’ roll, The Tote. On Saturday the 14th of July they'll be blasting their scuzz-noise-punk-rock. River of Snakes have been busy as hell lately, playing anywhere and everywhere, up and down the east coast and have a new 7" 'Rebel Girl/Drink' coming out August 3rd on Thornbury Records. Like an angry monkey with a toothache, expect the unexpected, and trim those claws!! What do a finance manager, a student and a pensioner have in common? An aficionado claims that they are "more patient, sure-footed, hardy and long-lived than horses, and they are considered less obstinate, faster, and more intelligent than donkeys."Thanks Wiki! It is the sheer endurance (not talking about pantyhose) and anger that is manifested through style free ANGRY MULES DAMN THE TORPEDOES started life as an excuse to simply blow out some stripped-down garage punk power-pop rocknroll. Through time, a heap of gigs, 3 EPs and a string of ex-girlfriends, a more aggressive and discordant edge has crept into Wally’s jangly guitars, Lee’s twangy picking, Dick’s rumbling bass fuzz and Ando’s pounding drums, to create a sound that sits comfortably between ‘wild drunken party music’ and ‘noisy music your girlfriend will tolerate. About 9 months again an Englishman, a Kiwi, & an Irishman walk into a timewarp & have a drink, then a couple more drinks, then pick up some instruments........... The result is - the INTERCEPTORS - its just like 1979 all over again....ahhhhhh! $10 8.30PM
