We All Know Someone In A Band Right?

Congratulations to a good friend of mine who just released his debut album with his band This City from the UK. He started this band about the same time I started doing The Paper & The Plane stuff...so we would always keep in contact and see where each other's band was at and he would mention us on UK radio and all kinds of rad stuff. In the end I don't do The Paper & The Plane anymore and he just put out a debut album on Epitaph Records (Rancid, NOFX, Pennywise, Every Time I Die, etc)...well played my friend, well played hahaha. BUY IT!!

Defeater

Someone tour this band for me please, I have lost hope in most hardcore but these guys remind me why I loved it in the first place.

So This Is Your Idea Of Fun?

Ash has been away on tour and is away again recording a new Against record, so I have been back to the good old working everyday game. When he gets back I plan on doing a shitload of this...

Cheap Staff.

I wish I could have Benson in the shop more, feel bad leaving the little dude at home all day. He had asked to be photographed in front of that Lifetime tour poster, that's why I like him so much!

Look What You've Gone & Done!!

So With The Year Ending...

I always like the "End Of The Year Lists" for Best Albums, Best Show...blah, blah, blah. Found this sneaky footage from one of the best shows I saw this year which was Verse at The Red Room way back in January. Even with the microphone problems this show still killed it...sadly we will never see it again.

Moneen Tour 2007

Found some photos from the the Moneen show we did wayyyy back in May 2007. I wish we could do this again soon.

Walking The Dog Is Fatal!

So we walked Benson to this near by pond, KC then starts to run with him, she falls, she laughs, I take photo. Standard stuff for us really.

KC Edited this for me, thanks pal.

Propagandhi Feb 2009

So back in February 2009 I went to Propagandhi at The Arena, long story short, got drunk, got sick then had to fly to Sydney at 6am with KC to see Propagandhi all over again. I was not well at all. This photo that KC took pretty much explains it all.

Ok... So We Went On A Picnic, Deal With It!

So in our ongoing attempt to make Benson tired and all cute we took him on a Picnic. Upon arrival we realized we hate the outdoors and bugs like to bite the shit out of us whenever possible. Also everyone else there thought we were weird. Fuck them!

Making my movie based on the life and times of Benson.

Fruity!

There is no way you are better than these guys...no way

Idiot!

Yes, i know I am

"Hey Metal Guy!!"

Don't get pissed at me when you come into my store and ask for Metal and i say "Sorry dude, we don't sell Metal". Don't say "Well what do you fucking stock then?". Metal guy if you are so pissed off that we don't sell Metal then go to the bank, get a loan, quick your job and spend the next 3 months setting up your very own Metal store...I will then send all your mates up to your store to talk Metal all day long. Don't take the fact that I don't stock Metal so personal Metal guy...can't we all just get along!!??

I Wish....

It would snow in Brisbane, Benson and I would sled the shit out of anything and everything!!

Kill The Music 2006 and 2009

2009

Thanks again to 1OVAKYND Photography!

So If You Could Be In Any Band...?

my answer would have to be...

I Like Canadian's!

Moneen's new long player "The World I Want To Leave Behind" is out now and is great. The guys were nice enough to send us copies of the limited editon CD/DVD which is only sold on tour. Thanks guys. You should all buy this album. Was going to post a pic of the band, but went with singer Kenny on a trampoline, seemed like the best choice!

Maybe...Maybe Not?

We have been thinking of getting a mate for Benson to play with. I like this guy!!

Yes Our Store Is Named After A ETID Song...

I know Nick hates this photo of him with Keith from Every Time I Die...but fuck how many times will this happen! Stole this from Mr Lucas's Blog...check his shit out! Thank Nick!

Benson Attacks!!!!

Shoe & Remote

I fuck shit up!!!

KC's Birthday & Pizza Night...

Was not as fun as it sounds! (oh this is not me...taking a photo was not on the cards!)

We Set Sail

Probably writing yet another number 1 smash hit...i enjoy playing with these guys

A "Recover" Cover

We are thinking of doing a few covers in the band, looks like Recover is maybe a go. Prepare for me to butcher a song real soon. KC will be happy though.
