Regurgitator Turning Japanese for “No Show” Single

Regurgitator have taken the cheat’s way out with their fun new film clip for “No Show.”

The single name is pretty appropriate, as the band members themselves were no shows for this clip. Instead they’ve relied on snippets from an old Japanese monster movie to back the single, a track from their brand new album Superhappyfuntimeswithfriends. Personally I’m happy to let them off the hook because that record title might just be the coolest I’ve heard all year.

The song is also pretty brilliant with its big crunchy chords and radio-friendly hooks. It reminds me just how much I missed Regurgitator’s quirky brand of pop. Have you?

Laneous and the Family Yah Release Wacky “I Am Dog” Video

Laneous and the Family Yah is a band that definitely doesn’t take itself too seriously.

That should be pretty evident on watching the film clip for their new single “I Am Dog,” which documents a day in the life of James Lane, the owner of the World’s First Dog, Cat and Pigeon Zoo. As you’ll soon find out though, these are no ordinary animals. The song might seem pretty silly at first, but focus in on those infectious hooks and the tight instrumentation and you’ll realise there’s more to this band than meets the eye.

“I Am Dog” is the first taste the Laneous and the Family Yah’s second album Found Things, which will hit record stores around the country in September. It’s a blend of soul, punk, and hip hop that’s like nothing you’ve ever heard. After watching that film clip, you know what I’m saying is true!

To coincide with the release of Found Things, Laneous and the Family Yah will join Regurgitator on their album launch tour. Make sure you turn up early at the following shows to check these guys out!

16 September 2010 – The Gov, Adelaide

Silverchair, Spoon, and More Join BDO Bill

Next year’s Big Day Out lineup was already bursting at the seams, but with the most recent announcement, it’s bigger than ever.

Silverchair had a massive year in 2007, taking home five ARIAs and receiving worldwide acclaim for their fifth album Young Modern. They’re set to start 2008 with a bang appearing at Big Day Out gigs around Australia and New Zealand.

They’ll join other local sensations including Augie March, Regurgitator, Josh Pyke, Gyroscope, and Operator Please.

There’s also more international acts, with American rockers Spoon, DJ Carl Cox, Brit darling Kate Nash, and electronic outfit Unkle joining the bill.

They’ll play alongside Rage Against the Machine, Bjork, Hilltop Hoods, Billy Bragg, and more at these massive events.

The Gold Coast, Sydney, and Melbourne shows have already sold out, and with these recent additions the Adelaide, Auckland, and Perth shows won’t be too far behind.

New Regurgitator Album and Tour

The lads from Regurgitator have spent the last few months in exotic Brazilian locations, and now they’re back with a brand-spanking new album.

According to FasterLouder, Love and Paranoia is “a collection of pop-rock that will welcome you to the dancefloor.”

To celebrate the album’s September 15 release, Quan, Ben, Pete, and new member Seja Vogel, will head around Australia for a massive tour. Chinese pop-rock outfit New Pants and I Heart Hiroshima will join The Gurge for the Amor e Paranoia shows.

The tour will kick off in Bathurst on October 4, and visit plenty of capital cities and regional centres, so there’s no excuse for missing it. See Regurgitator’s awesome Apple-inspired website for all the dates.
