Dick Threats 'Meat Cash' available now



SBBCS007
Dick Threats
Meat Cash
Edition of 100

Meat Cash is built from a series of quick cut movements, each hinged on overdriven and abused rhythms. Pounding industrial noise filth and simple analogue electronics colour movement throughout, though often these gestures are pushed into a sweaty alliance with an ecstatic pulse seeking physical interpretation. The Dick Threats modus operandi: low fidelity dance noise - another beer bong for Daphne Oram please.


Dick Threats 'Meat Cash' cassette $8




Domestic postage - $2
















International postage - $5

Sabbatical Presents: Dick Threats MEAT CASH cassette launch

Dick Threats are STOKED! MATE! to launch their first cassette 'Meat Cash' through Sabbatical. Come down and congratulate us for taking about 3 months longer than we planned.

WORNG makes hypnotic spatial noise. You might find it hard to concentrate, just go with it: http://soundcloud.com/worng

Fulton Bequest - Matt and Scott from Sunglass dust off the pedals, synths and amps to make their semi-annual appearance in the Fulton Bequest guise and soothe the audience to sleep with their distorted/phased/delayed space lullabies.

Mondo Loco's vinyl sets stretch from Turkish Psychedelic Rock to Middle Eastern Jazz. Expect a journey of heavy Anatolian psych funk, jazz and the rare sounds of Turkish garage, protest folk and fuzzy disco!

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.
