Marks Music Machine

I've spent some time down at Quiksilver headquarters in Victoria this week, so i think it's only fitting i give the boys a plug. Our friend Kram has done an awesome cover of Blitzkrieg Bop, The Ramones Classic. 

(If you weren't aware Quiksilver have come up with an awesome collaboration and have released some rad Ramones inspired threads. You can check it all out next week when the new Quiksilver website it up. More details soon.)

Anyway this is the Clip done featuring good friends and pro surf dogs Craig Anderson, Garrett Parkes Andrew Mooney and of course, Rock and Roll god Mathew Hoy !

Enjoy.x

OK so its my turn to bring u the clip of the week.
Seeing as we Are Australian and these dudes drop hell beats and are talented as fuck, i thought maybe a bit of Aussie Hip-hop wouldnt go astray...
All CD profits from this single go to kids in Africa that are doing it tough, so good on these boys for sharing the love.
Enjoy

Vans Warped Tour 09

Pomona... kind of in the middle of no where, inland LA. Stinking hot, people everywhere, Lots of water and alot of great bands. If you want to see the full line-up and alot more info about the day go to www.warpedtour.com and check it out there.

In the mean time here's some dodgy pictures and clips with horrible sound from some of my favourite bands at Warped.

TROUBLE where actually pretty cool. There were only a few peeps watching but i happened to sit down for a rest right infront before they came on and i actually enjoyed it.

Trouble Andrew is that guy that sings, "do you, wana see my gun ? go bang bang bang bang"

SAOSIN Were a crowd pleaser and one of my favourites. The crowd sang all the lyrics for them. I wish i had some footage of the crowd singing but i was too into it to film anything.

SENSES FAIL played alot of newer stuff which i didn't really know that well. but they finished up with "Can't be saved" (the track off Guitar hero Rock band) which was awesome.

GALLOWS were in typical gallows fine form, raw as fuck and blasted the fuck out of the crowd with raw music and rude slander. One qoute in particular that was interesting, imagine his pomy accent.

"It's good to see so many people out here to see real music " (crowd aplause)
"you don't see any computers or fucking synthesizers up here do ya ? " (aplause stops, hush)

hahaha

A DAY TO REMEMBER surprised me, first of all they had a huge turn out, and all in all they blew up!
Opening with "dowfall of us all" went down well.Everbody watching was moving at some point. Whether it was a sing along, a little fist pump or kinds moshing on other kids heads.

THRICE played a variety of material from all of their many albums and didn't play much from "the artist in the ambulance" which was dissapointing. But they did play the title track off that album which was enough for me to enjoy. i was a million people back because main stage was full of peeps, but oh well

ALEXISONFIRE I enjoyed these guys most, purely because i was able to get up the front and actual see and enjoy it. They played a good mix. few new ones, few good ones and one old one. fucking good live...

If you dig Alexisonfire check out their new video for the new single "Young cardinal" off their new album "Old Crows/Young Cardinals"...

keytar maddness!!!

Not only does Don frank like to wave dance, he also knows his music.

The first thing that strikes a person when they meet Donavon Frankenreiter is that they’ve probably never met a person quite like him before. From his genuine nature, to his big heart, to his all-around charisma, once you connect with his vibe you realize that he is truly unique. Donavon lives an incredible life, one that he never takes for granted. His vocations and drive have enabled him to live the one person’s fantasy, as a reality.

YA DIG

There is always time for a little YouTube!

LIL WAYNE,

He is out of his mind 24/7 on drugs, never writes down lyrics he just freestyles whenever he records a song, he manages to sweep women off their feet and is the hardest working rapper in the industry.

He IS gangsta music right now and this just so happens to be his Video Blog. Not the first episode of his Blog but one where he has just found out he has been nominated for 8 Grammy Awards.

He is one funny guy, GO WEEZY!

This was just a minor hiccup and part of the process of getting everything shifted over to the new layout. Hang with us if you're experiencing anything goofy, we're on it!
