"Spun Rivals (EP) is a nifty display of hooks, jaggered riffing and displays a promising future for this style of song writing. It's not punk, nor rock, nor pop—but a little of each. Post-punk indie new-wave is what the press release says, and as broad as that sounds, it feels kind of appropriate." Single Review, Melbourne Arts .Net
"World class electro punk" Single Review, Beat
"a raucous take on Brit-Pop, laced with an ethos of experimentation and electronic malfunction." Single Review, Beat
"Spun Rivals left their audience speechless at the sheer energy and brilliance that possesses the band. From the lyrics to the songs themselves, each one is crafted meticulously into an epic experience"
Faster Louder Live Review
"Spun Rivals. Blew.Me.Away! The trio were power-charged, ripping through 45 minutes with the level of energy never faltering. The Scott and two Aussies stage-graced with loud, wirery guitar reminiscent of At The Drive In at moments, while channelling the pop sensibilities and biting lyrics of The Clash" Live Review, Alexandra for nickjamvendetta
"(Spun Rivals) delivered powerful indie-rock made up of killer hooks, interesting storytelling, and talented performing"
Faster Louder Live Review
"an army of noises when seen live look like a series of
science experiments."
Faster Louder Live Review
"distinctive live performance presence that is reminiscent of Franz Ferdinand."
Faster Louder Live Review
"energetic, Brit-rock influenced, half-danceable/half-moshable sounds" Live Review, not that you asked for my opinion
"This is one band you will hear more about in days to come." Live Review, Faster Louder
“(Short Player of the Month) the best of the bunch is… (Spun Rivals EP)... an absolute stunner. Single Review, Steve Scully, Wireless Bollinger
"Rich Davies, the missing link between Elvis Costello & Damon Albarn" The List (UK)
It's going to be a monster four band pile up on highway 666 as Vultures of Venus crash into the Birmingham on Thursday the 3rd of ..heir debut LP which is now available through I-Tunes has been receiving strong support and favorable reviews from local radio RRR, PBS and Syn Fm. It will also be available in hard copy on the night. This gig is gonna be fun, fun, fun on the Smith st autobahn. Armed with big rock riffs and blazing electrified keys this is the Vultures first show since their sellout LP Launch. This is a band with a plan; and that plan is to make you do the Can Can. Joining them on the night is Mirrorhouse Antics whos live show is a cross between the Arctic Monkeys and The Stooges. They have just released their debut album, recorded at Bakehouse by Mikey from Eddie Current Suppression Ring. Dan Webb's 60's styled Hammond infused insanity is gonna be something to look out for as well as the 'Wise Flys' : they'll make you laugh they'll make you cry, they'll make you laugh about crying. And don't forget to look out for the crazy clown pinyada filled with burning flesh and give away fun toys for the kids. This is a B.Y.O "leotard friendly event ". So pour yourself into your favorite and come on down !!!

THE RUBYS FIRST BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA - 4 MORE SLEEPS
One year ago, on a lonely Wednesday evening at a forgettable Collingwood pub, The Rubys played their first gig. Twelve months on, the three scrappy-looking lads have under their belts better songs, more gigs and are infecting Melbourne audiences with catchy, raw, stomp rock n roll pretty much weekly. So to mark the milestone of reaching the ripe old age of one, The Rubys are celebrating with a birthday party! With around 40 gigs down over the previous year and a wildly raucous live set, there has been a lot of jumping around and beer consumed so this Friday at the Old Bar will be no exception. Expect some wild blues-driven sets by The Volatiles and The Bellows to warm things up, and the boy’s favourite two-piece The Cheats bringing it all home. 8:30 start, $8, Party hats provided.
Hope to see you down there and we can all rock out!!
