Sorry about the T Shirt - i havent tried washing mine yet. Glad you all like the MSquared Boxed set we put much care and thought into putting it together.It's triggered us back into activity again .. hence the Scattered Order/DTF gig in Marrickville in July and the A Cloakroom assembly debut in July.Is anyone going to see Eno on Sunday night ?
― Michael Tee, Friday, 12 June 2009 12:06 (fourteen years ago) link
yes, i'll be there michael - all 3 concerts - let me know where / when we can meet up.

After my service providor Bigpond decided to screw their customers yet again by removing all personal website in November, I've bitten the bullet and set up my NNS website (including the Sydney Post-Punk pages) at
http://www.nonightsweats.com
It was quite easy and inexpensive so I have no idea why I hadn't done it before.
There are no changes in content as yet but I plan a redesign later in the year or whenever I have the time.
Please let anyone who might be interested know about the change.

on 30th June 2MBSFM did a radio special on MSquared interviewing Mitch and myself. In the one hour show we talked about the early days of M Squared, the Barons, Scattered Order, A Cloakroom Assembly and played tracks off the M Squared Boed set.The whole show will be available as a podcast in coming weeks. In two weeks they will tape Part 2 featuring interviews with Shane Fahey (Dead Travel Fast) and Patrick Gibson (Systematics). Thanks to John Bades for his support in putting the show together.

Hi all the plan is for a single CD compilation to come out on endgame in November. We are currently talking to a number of companies interested in releasing the M Squared back catalogue including the boxed set.I think the boxed set will come out after the vinyl version is sold out in Europe.

Sydney-siders don't forget - Sunday 26th July 5-10PM - http://www.cadfactory.com.au/ - Scattered Order and MotDTF + 3 newish bands
― nonightsweats, Tuesday, 14 July 2009 22:26 (fourteen years ago) link
There is a bit of interest from some labels in releasing all the M Squared material we released on vinyl and cassette in australia
― Michael Tee, Thursday, 16 July 2009 19:56 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd love to plump for the vinyl set, but damn... I already bought one VOD box this year.
Must... resist....

just back here to rave some more about the let's go naked 'insides' album. where has this band been all my life??Agreed, it's really good and has seriously fallen under the radar. There's not even a mention of them at AMG.Just in case somebody's trying to Google them, I believe the name is actually Lets Go Naked (no apostrophe). At least that's how it appears on the album.

sunday's gig at the cad factory was pretty terrific. neither band were significantly different in sound to when they used to play ages ago but they didn't sound at all stale.
MotDTF were good but not great - wonderfull tunes and arrangements but i really wanted then to enjoy themselves more or to impart their enjoyment to the audience: it was always thus.
SO were fantastic, surprisingly for me at least: mitch didn't sing for a couple of songs but when he finally did, it all made complete sense. michael t was consumately unflappable.
apparently there'll be another gig in November to launch the single CD compilation from the box set.
― nonightsweats, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 03:15 (fourteen years ago) link
hopefully i'll be able to get it together to attend that one

I loved that Lipstick Killers 7" so much that. even though I had a copy of the Bomp release, I paid $75 in 1986 for an original Aussie one with pic sleeve. Popsike indicates that it should be worth about $40 right now. Another wise vinyl investment.

sold my copy of psycho surgeons 7" for $250aus on ebay.
― nonightsweats, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 07:17 (fourteen years ago) link
that seems quite a low amount for that 45!

Based on this thread I downloaded the Let's Go Naked retrospective with pretty low expectations, given that I've combed through Aussie releases for years.
I could not have been more wrong.
"Where has this album been all my life" indeed! Goddamn I didn't think pop like this could grab a hold of me anymore. Fantastic lyrics, interesting guitar tones and overall great songwriting. Any news on a new album?
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Friday, 18 September 2009 16:41 (fourteen years ago) link
i know that they're at least partway if not fully through making a new one - a pretty decent new track popped up on a little darla comp earlier this year..

This guy on YouTube, OzObscurist, has a sweeeeeeet collection of material online including matrial from Wirlywirld and King Snake Roost. Check especially his 'Grunge Before Grunge' series, in 3 parts (perhaps there more parts to come?), which covers several obscure tracks from the Australian grunge phase of 1982 to 1986-ish.
