Other: Metaphysical World Pieces #1 by Metaphysical Circuits

Metaphysical World Pieces #1 is a mostly Trans-Atlantic compilation put together by the folks at Metaphysical Circuits. 20 tracks of electronic kosmische, weirdo pop, ambient drone, leftfield techno and other oddities. Australia's representation is the track 'Василий Архипов' from Decent Therapy (a loose electronic project of Sabbatical co-founder Markus Cook). The compilation is digital download only and in the modern 'pay what you feel' price range. Below is a small selection of tracks to hopefully entice you into the late night exploration this effort deserves.

Sabbatical presents: The Emergency

Beats. Noise. Beats. Noise. It's hard to choose so we've put together four of our favourites to create a delicious and diverse night out.

The Emergency - first-time percussion set and a new album about to drop on eXO
Nomex - one NZ's finest aural export (read: brutal)
Super Star - space loops to infinity
Anon - one of the best things about Sydney

Six dollars entry, doors at 8.30pm.

As always, Sabbatical items will be available to purchase on the night.

090122 Documentation: A view from the mixing desk


Dead Boomers
This wall of noise's length was on this occasion determined by double vodka and sodas, no fruit.



Ev & Shags
Performing outside of the Pikelet Big Band the duo performed an incredible set of semi-improvised keyboard intricacy and bliss.



Chrome Dome
Part Joy Division, part Suicide, synth/pop/no wave tunes filtered through two over the top minds.



Paeces
The free-folk/pyche implosion on this occasion and the collective sounding more cohesive than ever. Fantastic stuff.

Sabbatical presents: The Old Bar 231008


Following the recent closure of the Afterdark in Northcote, Sabbatical is proud to announce that our monthly shows have now relocated to the Old Bar (74-76 Johnston Street Fitzroy). The first of these new series of shows falls on Thursday, 23 October 2008 and features a couple of largely dormant gems from the early Sabbatical catalogue.

Bone Sheriff (a duo consisting of active local heads Rob Mayson and Simon Taylor) makes a welcome return to live performance after a lengthy hiatus, as does the almighty Aux Assembly duo of Dimitra and Elise Bishop. Also appearing is the fascinating Oranj Punjabi project of Fjorn Butler and Dead Boomers, a duo consisting of 2/3 of the Sabbatical crew, Mark Groves and Leith Thomas.

Entry for this show is $6, and the door shall open at 8:30pm. The Sabbatical catalogue (including our releases from Bone Sheriff and Aux Assembly) along with a number of related works will be available for sale on the evening.
