   About The Swindlers
Photobucket

Swampy, ragged and sparse, The Swindlers ‘Self Titled EP’ is a window into a desolate world populated by primitive hunters, masochistic hostages and seductive sirens. As it teeters between violence and sublime melody, The Swindlers’ unique ‘Train Yard Stomp Rock’ projects a distinctly Australian voice. Recorded over a weekend with Paul Maybury (formerly of Rocket Science), this debut offering from The Swindlers has all the energy and immediacy of a live show.

'Here's some totally Australian, swaggering, rock-n-blues for your winter worries... it just gets bigger and better the more it turns.' Samson, Catalyst Magazine

'The Swindlers are at their finest when they let everything get a little unhinged (Oh No)'
Clem Bastow - Inpress

'The Swindlers have a throwback sound, urgent and a bit raw, you can feel the passion.'
Neil Wedd - Indie Initiative

THE RUBYS FIRST BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA - 3 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!!

JIMMY YUKKA HAS HAD ENOUGH OF MYSPACE

Hi

Thanks for being our myspace friend. We get spammed all the time on myspace and its getting hard to know who's a fan and who isn't. If you are a fan it would be great to see you at our next gig - see www.jimmyyukka.com.
In future the best way to find out about what we are up to is to join our mailing list.




If you have any questions about this or anything you can

Contact Myself or Quick Stix here



All the best

Jimmy
