WHO THE HELL (MEL T)
Howl, you animated bunch of little twerps, you smug teenage dirtbags with your corresponding assymetrical haircuts and your sharp monochromatic attire; thank you for compelling the bulk of the population of twenty-something musos to shirk back to their factory day jobs screwing lids on toothpaste tubes. What is wrong with you? Kids your age should be spitting in burgers. Not winning national radio band competitions or sharing stages and stealing riders from the Scare, British India and Grafton Primary. Or getting a ‘Goon Machine’ tattoo on your foot. Or breaking egos, girls hearts and gym floors for that matter. You may have put your rural hometown in the spotlight lately for reasons other than Sovereign Hill, bogans and boiled lollies, but what makes you think you have the right to slapdash your promising musical finesse up the arses of other pimply compatriots your age who are still fiddling with Chilli Peppers covers?
And the new single ‘I Hear It’s Love?’ Fuck. Off. I can’t stand the way that you roll up gritty, abrasive garage punk, sexually frustrated lyrics and fleeting bursts of blissful harmonies into a colossal joint at your live shows leaving each audience member convulsing around the floor in a feverish fit. I hate that I squealed like a twelve year old when you whipped out a Justin Timberlake cover at your last gig. I hate the way Daniel doesn’t miss a beat in the quake of his volatile drumming. Screw you Tim and Jonathan for thrusting those catchy persistent riffs and danceable basslines in our faces. Why did you even bother roping two charming lead singers, merging gritty shrieks and subtle melodic charms into thwarts of clever dynamo? And for that boy for Galen Strachan? Have some sympathy for the thousands of listeners who’ve had that bloody contagious, unremittent ‘Blackout’ keyboard jam of yours lodged in their head for months.
Screw your ridiculously infectious new radio friendly single. While the most school leavers will be manning drive ins, knocking up thirteen year olds or watching Skins re-runs this summer, you’ll be having fun basking in the glory of your new found success at the Queenscliff, Stereosonic, Field day, Sandcastle and Apollo Bay Festivals, breathing into the same sweaty mic as the Bloody Beetroots and LCD Soundsystem and being asked by itinerant teenage girls to sign their tits.
Howl boys, I hope you’re happy.

hey micheal thanks for the kind words man We are working on some new very cool tunes so we're happy If we could turn that see you round to a support gig sometime anytime anywhere would be brilliant we are looking to get into melbourne somehow.. and since i know you guys it would be easier.. but yeah no biggums if ya cant Winzar! P.S congrats on the tour
you guys are out of control huge now. i saw all the sterosonic crowds in the city today, driving past us in their party buses, throwing up at my feet at 2 in the afternoon.
seeing as how your shows will get bigger and bigger, and i head into a year that will make me poorer and poorer i'd just like to say thanks for the ride, you guys are the best, and im glad that you gave me the chance to start you off in melbourne, even thought i didnt know what i was doing, i dont think i did to bad so thanks for taking a chance. love you. xx
If we're in Ballarat again soon I'll be sure to let you know.
If you're ever in Geelong or Melbourne and need a place to crash, let me know. I live in Northcote and my family lives in Geelong. If you ever want to do a show, despite the obvious differences in our music, I think it would be fun. I'm away all jan/feb but it'd be sweet to hook something up in Melbourne/Ballarat when I'm back if you're keen. Have a great summer. All the best with all the festivals you're playing.
