TMOC vs TAYLOR SWIFT

ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!
The reissued double coloured vinyl gatefold sleeve deluxe edition of The Mark Of Cain’s Ill At Ease is currently sitting at no.9 on the national mainstream charts sandwiched between two Taylor Swift releases, below the Stones and above Drake but the only Australian entry. Normally that would be a cause for celebration but orders have come down from the top (Kim..) to beat out Tay Tay or else. So if you haven’t already purchased your remastered, digitally enhanced copy of IAE now is the time. Available from all good independent record stores, JB Hi-Fi or direct from tmoc.com.au. You can also stream the album to your hearts content. Put it on repeat, walk away, it’s all good! And all counts towards the chart.

CHIMERS IMPRESS AT EVERY SHOW

Ain’t no denying it Chimers were a stand-out at Sydney’s Off The Rails Festival over the October long weekend. Pummeling rhythms and catchy riffs make for an immediate impact. The new songs are sounding the goods and the older tracks coming across like a greatest hits. Lots of opportunities to catch them before years end with shows in Sydney, Melbourne and hometown Wollongong. Do yourself a favour…

TILMOUTH OXLEY MARSALIS ARE THE REAL DEAL!

Tilmouth Oxley Marsalis are an exciting new all-star rock band from Sydney. Featuring former NoKTuRNL frontman, guitarist and Arrente man Craig Tilmouth, Sunnyboys / Ed Kuepper bassist Peter Oxley and gun for hire Dave Marsalis on drums. Together they create a racket via material written by both Craig and Peter and with the odd left-field cover thrown in (Sex Pistols, Thin Lizzy) to give you some measure of their sound.

They play just their second ever show Friday October 20th at the Gasoline Pony, Marrickville with guests The Night Packers. Tickets are just $10 and available now. https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1103106
