Yeh you want us.
Big Day Out 2007 Part 2.
The Streets - Another album, another Big Day Out. Mike Skinner, I love you but get a fucking life and another festival to play.
Kasabian - O0o0o0o Attitude, I'll be rude. "ima tell ya what i'll do, i'll break your face in two, and spread your teeth and blood all over this neighbourhood!"
Crystal Method DJs - yeh i think you were relevant when i was about 4.
Justice - Owww baby owww baby. You are worth the admission itself.
Trivium - Any band that is described as having "neck-snapping riffs" is compensating for something. Like maybe a vitamin t(alent) deficiency
John Cooper Clarke - No comment. I've never even heard of you. But if he is anything like the Sex Pistol he can go back under his rock of insignificance.
Afra & The Incredible Beatbox Band - Refer to sentiments regarding The Streets.
Lily Allen - Just because people in America blog about you doesn't make you talented. Quite the opposite I've found. Yeh Stereogum is thinking god why did i post Sam champion.
Lupe Fiasco - You know Kanye, but right now he aint too popular. So i think ill give you a kick.push.punch in the face.
Diplo - If Diplo and Justice were back to back, I'd attend for just those time slots. Diplo is still hot as hell and one can only imagine what he has instore for Australia.
John Butler Trio - Yeh Yeh. Good for the festivals. No arguments or else whiteboydancefloor will lose its byron bay audience. Ow thats right, none of you have computers or jobs to buy them.
Something for Kate - Hey call me soft, I am a massive fan. But when I saw them at Big Day Out, I wished I had a pillow.
You Am I - Yeh have another one Tim Rogers that makes you play like an even bigger rockstar.
Little Birdy - Little Birdy is the punchline to the following joke. What's almost as bad as Magic Dirt playing music?.
The Presets - Conquered the world and deserved to comeback to a floor stomping ovation.
Bob Evans - Punchline to another joke. What is Worse than being Bernard Fanning?.
The Drones - Eh. Eh. Eh.
The Butterfly Effect - They only need to play one song and you've got the gist of the others.
love [tattoo] - Yeh whoever you are. I am not going to even bother researching you.
Shapeshifter - Im nit going to take the puss just bucause they are frum new zuland.
Hey I haven't even ruled out going you know hehe.
If their first band photo doesn't just give it away, Defunct Asylum are 4 males from Western Sydney who you may have guessed don't mind a stiff cold ale from time to time. Featuring former Lucretia guitarist Luke Connolly as well as a trio of accomplished young lads, Defunct Asylum produce the kind of straight edged rock that is easily digestable and would certainly get you stomping that foot of yours while your down at the pub watching them show you their props whilst you yourself are downing a nice cold beverage.
They only last week recorded an E.p featuring 5 tracks of brickwall rock. I think Defunct Asylum would be the first to admit their sound does have a commercial appeal to it but I mean the right sprinkle of it and hey what is commerical these day eh? Vocally at times it is quite possibly influenced by a young Daniel Johns and musically I think it has the possibility to rival a live aesthetic with that of Full Scale (R.I.P). Throughout all 5 tracks, there is a very obvious pulse that runs throughout the E.P and it makes for a C.D which is easy to slip into and listen to from start to finish without distraction.
Defunct Asylum it seems are proudly the sum of their influences and I certainly enjoy the angle their embracing music from. The music and lyrics doesn't concern itself with being over serious or doom and gloomy which also ticks another box in my criteria. All too often in the blogosphere we are all too concerned with the band who has the right amount of hype surrounding them, but in this case as the music demonstrates clearly, fuck the hype and just rock out. You know, old style where it is actually ok to be a big daggy and mosh like your young and uninhibited again. Oww and of course for those who are familiar with / fans of Lucretia which Luke Connolly was the lead guitarist of, rest assured that every morsel of musical goodness which Defunct Asylum serve is topped with a spicy layer of guitar solo to send your tastebuds to heaven.
After only being together for a very short 4 months, all the right signs are there. Soon to be gigging at a venue near you, those lucky (or unlucky whichever way you see it) to be residents of Penrith can check Defunct Asylum working their live chops down on:
Thursday Night @ Embassy Hotel.
