   About WALRUS
Ladies and Gentlemen,

After six years Walrus have decided to call it a day.

Thank you to the fans for your support. Without you we wouldn’t have been able to rock so hard for so long. We had a good run.

We will be playing our final show at the Excelsior Hotel in Surry Hills on April 24. Get your butts down there!!!

Remember the good times,

Roland, Mark, Joel and Dan WALRUS

"WALRUS ARE UNREAL!...This band is going to be big keep an eye on them!" ANNANDALEHOTEL.COM.AU 09/04/06

"I love this song (War)....Great riffs, adventure and most importantly swagger." Mel In The Morning TRIPLE J 06/03/2007

"This EP is a sharp slap in the face to selfish human society. "- Kath Pollock RAVE 15/05/2007

"...You can only hope the real Armageddon sounds as good as this." Dom Allesio THE BRAG 12/12/2006

"Rock n Roll through and through but so thoroughly bent in their approach as to be unlike anything I have heard before. Very Worthy." THE BRAG 28/02/05

“The true bastard children of Sydney’s emaciated (non-indie) rocks scene : they’re hungry, mean and guarding a big sack of sharp retro-rock riffs.” – Lachlan Marks THE DRUM MEDIA 12/12/06

“You can tell these guys would be fantastic live” – Richard Kingsmill TRIPLE J

Twenty laws of life

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it
cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get
older, their conversational skills will be as important as any
other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or
sleep all you want, or work all the time.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the
eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get
married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first
sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't
have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt
but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think
quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't
want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great
achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self;
Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great
friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take
immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will
hear it in your voice.
THE FIVE VENOMS

Yummy!!!.........

Bunni Boiler Music Presents... 7 Femmes

7 female artists will be taking the stage at the Roxbury Hotel (upstairs) Friday 11 April stripped back, acoustic and solo.

Sarah Aubrey, Johanna Kemp & Julia Stockdale (Yo & Hoops),Catherine Traicos, Tammy Ingram, Jenni B, Bel Woods,and Maxine Kauter will be fronting up to create an intimate evening of solo performances by some of Sydney's local chanteuses.

From downbeat alt country to jazz infused folk & rock this will be a great chance to see these ladies up close and personal.

Some like a soft n sweet songstress, others like a hard n aggressive rock bitch & ur guaranteed a mixed bag of original tunes composed by 7 sexy females of the inner west side!

See u there xoxo
