Sitting in the Melbourne wind listening to Deathpile records made me recall I should actually log in here and offer up some format of introduction.
Whitehouse tour a few years back was superb, would like to see it happen again on the back of the new album. Wonder how one could go about arranging such an event. Until then I'll keep trying too see just how stupid I can make Robin Lustig sound through a gonkulator fed back into itself. Or pehaps finally print out those "I Rape and I Vote" stickers to place onto sidewalk hugging cars. Hello from Mark.

Hey, a fellow Victorian! Nice to have you here.
LA 120 was wild, wasn't it! (Check my review on the SL site). I was always sure that some Current Affairs show would get onto the fact that a bunch of sexual perverts (ie, WH) were being brought to Australia with the help of an Arts Funding grant, usual phony outrage, etc etc.

Hey David, thought there might be a few of us about, nice indeed. LA 120 was stunning, I'd just stepped off the plane after heading up for LA 117 and had a horrid hangover, my brain felt squashed and needed reappraising. WH did the config fantastically. There was a bit of winging via some standardized press in Brisbane regarding the tour, unfortunately I never did cut out the clipping though. Perhaps Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock might score that treatment this year.

Hey!! Fellow Victorian here too (well, 'expat' to tell you the truth). Whitehouse gig at Corner Hotel in '04 was heaven. A great night was had by all and sundry.....nothing like it before, nothing like it since. Probably the last time they'll ever tour Oz! Oh well.... Runzelstirn and Gurglestock eh!! Hmmmmm... p.s what's a 'gonkulator'?!?!?!

Hey Berzmow, glad to see another! Indeed, I'm yet to witness anything quite like them at the Corner that night, perfect venue for up close LA. The Brisbane show was at the Powerhouse which is more a sit down theater kind of deal, didn't quite have the same punch. Though the video of it is worthy.
I'd really like to see them out here again and have considered making a proposal, fucks me where I'd find the cash though. Would really like to do it in a collective of like minded meanderers.
Yah, Runzelstirn and Gurglestock are playing as part of Liquid Architecture this year, stunned me to catch the name in the line up. Pauline Oliveros as well. Good times.
A Gonkulator is this fuzz & ring modulator pedal made by DOD, designed for stupidity, hence my admiration.
