Sabbatical Presents: The International Noise Conference

Sabbatical is proud to present the Melbourne leg of the International Noise Conference on its first appearance on Australian shores.

Since 2004 Rat Bastard's INC festival in Miami has become an institution for the USA noise underground. It's no laptop / no droning / no money / no bullshit / 15 minute sets approach and levels of inclusion has set it apart from any normal noise festival to become the most invigorating 3 days on the USA festival calendar. In recent times Rat has been taking the concept on the road and this year Australia gets its first taste in Sydney on the 20th of May and Melbourne on the 21st.

UPDATE

The full list of artists performing at the Melbourne INC are: Aktion Unit / Sean Baxter / Bleach Boys / Chaos Warrior / Rod Cooper / Cult of the Placenta Head / Dead Boomers / Dotåbåtå / Ebola Disco / FTRG / Furchick / Marco Fusinato / Gauntlet / Heil Spirits / Incompetent Cervix / Juarez / Leslie Keffer (USA) / Laundry Room Squelchers (USA) / Military Position / Graham Moore (USA) / Nomex (NZ) / Occult Blood / Oranj Punjabi / Poison Sockets / Psychward / Radical Creation / Reunion Sacred Ibis / Social Climber / Susie's Lite / Undecisive God / Wife.

Sabbatical presents: Justice Yeldham

Globe-trotting glass eater Lucas Abela has made a career out of exploring the extreme side of sound. First it was with turntables attached to saw horses with sewing machine motors, briefly Freddy Krugger-styled record needle gloves, then it was a contact mic'd trampoline. For the last few years, under the guise of Justice Yeldham, it's been glass.

Starting each performance with a large sheet of glass, a contact mic and an array of effect pedals. Performances last as long as the glass can withstand the pressure of Mr Abela's face.

Sabbatical is proud to present this rare Justice Yeldham performance as Mr Abela stops over in Melbourne on his way to who knows where.

KIPL custodians and all-round excellent gents Wife will kick off proceedings, followed by the interminable noise assault of Fucked. Offering a welcome respite, Miles Brown & Shags Chamberlain will cleanse the aural palette with their theremin and synth explorations.

Finally, Justice Yeldham will perform on a couch. Seriously, that was his only rider request - a couch to perform on.

It's an early start for an early end. It is a Monday night after all.

Sababtical presents: Aux Assembly

For one night only Sabbatical is proud to present the welcome return of Aux Assembly. It has been almost a year since the last performance by the duo - a pairing of Elise Bishop and Dimitra Bucolo - one of the first and most popular artists to be released on Sabbatical.

The show is the fortuitous result of Elise briefly returning to Australia coinciding with significant progress in Dimitra's recovery, which was ably assisted by contributions from the recent benefit show at the Corner. Seeing the group back in action is a truly exciting prospect.

The inviting surrounds and friendly folk of KIPL will play host to event that includes a range of local noise makers and one Kiwi guest.

Last month's Nomex show we put on was one of the finest we've had the pleasure of being involved in. Every set was the best we've seen from each of the artists involved and our hats go off to them all. Many thanks to all who performed and to the folk at KIPL, who have continually supported our efforts here at Sabbatical.

Dead Boomers launch 'Family Money'

This Thursday, 25 February 2010, Dead Boomers launch Family Money, the latest Sababtical series release. Cut from an extended live session recorded for Paul Kidney's Ear of the Behearer show on PBS FM, Family Money is the first full length recording of the recording duo of Mark Groves and Leith Thomas.

Sabbatical will be launching this gloriously low-brow release at the new (as yet unnamed) gallery from the former operators of Gulag Projects, one of our favourite former DIY gallery spaces. The show is part of a series of No PA shows the boys are doing in the lead up to the spaces' opening.
