SKUZZ ACTS

HOSS
Hoss are one of the best rock bands in this fine country of ours, which says a lot really. Stemming from the same canon as the mighty Powder Monkeys, Splatterheads, ETC, Hoss feature dead set legend Joel Silbersher up front, who you know from GOD, Tendrils, Dirty Three and a lot more.
They never come here, so you'd better.

HITS


Well, if you haven't heard of HITS yet, you're a bit of a bloody moron. What have you been doing? Wake up mate. They're Queensland's answer to the Stooges, except they're as Aussie as kangaroo pie (with an Icebreak on the side). Lead by the fearless Evil Dick and featuring the twin sonic assault of guitar babes Tamara and Stacey, HITS are, as always, a beautiful thing to behold. 



THE VEE BEES

The other day, someone asked us what the Vee Bees sounded like. We said "Well, they're like if Turbonegro were Australian." Fuckin' fair dinkum rock n' roll mate. I think the following says it all- 

BEER, more than just a breakfast drink
The versatile beverage in everyone's fridge
A six pack a stubbies, a slab a cans
BEER, look at what it's done for me
Check out me gut, isn't it a bewdy?




DICK NASTY

We hate saying something trite about this band, like "Dick Nasty are a Brisbane institution," but they really are. They've been around for about ten years and they've released three albums consisting of really great hardcore/punk music with hilarious titles, and well, they're top guys, honestly. 


STRAIGHT ARROWS

MEDIUM FIDELITY fuzzed out melodic reverberated psych party garage straight outta Sydney!  







BRAT FARRAR

Brat Farrar is Sam Agostino of Digger and the Pussycats, Russian Roulettes and Kamikaze Trio. He's swarthy, he's sexy and he lists the Wipers and Butthole Surfers as his influences. We don't even need to tell you that this is gonna be awesome. 


SLUG GUTS


Slug Guts are born of the humid squall of Queensland and are perverse, dark and grimy. World class post punk nastiness.  Listen to the clip from their new album "Howlin' Gang" - amazing stuff. All the way with Jimmy K!



THE BOONDALL BOYS



I'M NOT YOUR MATE. Yeah so if you don't like the Onyas then you're not getting something, something is not all there. The Boondall Boys feature Mad Macka doing what he does best - teaching kids how to swim and making raw, dirty, lo-fi rock and roll. Not so much the teaching kids to swim bit. If you don't believe us then watch the bloody video. Now that's rock music everyone.  



UNDEAD APES

Undead Apes are a pop punk band in the very best sense. They make us want to dance. They make us want to touch people of the opposite sex (well maybe the same sex as well) in an inappropriate fashion. They remind us of the first time we heard the Ramones. 



BLANK REALM


Let us tell you what, we're sure stoked to be having Blank Realm play F.O.S. They're creative, intuitive, textual, progressive..but, yeah, a pop band at heart, we think. We could crap on. Just see 'em. 



VELOCIRAPTOR

There are about a million people in Velociraptor. They make this amazing garage-infused pop mess. They make us want to dance and clap our hands and forget about everything that is bad and painful. We want to dance. We want to love. Help us to love, Velociraptor. 









FEATHERS



Feathers create multi-layered hazy harmonies with simple yet structured magic melodies. They'll take you on a cosmic trip with their dark undertone of fuzzed out surf sounds.
