Regurgitator

We, as the band formally known as REGURGITATOR, spell it out in an allout annual roundup!

First and foremost, we just wanna say big thumbs ups for the pleasure of your support and engagement with our musical indulgences over 2023. It does not come without the goodness of your hearts and interest. For that we applaud you all!

And as surely as we head in that repetitive summer infestive season on the roll of a big barrell of heat we wish you all a great headful of fun! And in tandem with that sentiment we get to have some fun frolicking across the stages of merry a festival or two this next few months. Come a funnin’ with us!

All rolled up into the end of the year is Woodford... last time we played this feels like maybe a decade or two ago. Okay - DEC 28 2003! Twenty years ago now. Let's freshen things up! And what the hell... CUSTARD are joining us. Bring your spoons!

So super keen to bounce back onto the big springboard and join hands with this sweaty celebration of 90s goodtime Australiana! Let’s go Darkinjung "...will once again become a rock ‘n roll mecca when Regurgitator, Jebediah, Shihad, Magic Dirt, Frenzal Rhomb, Screamfeeder and Caligula take to the stage to belt out all the hits."

Then we head off with the birds you say... what else could one do but go bush after the shape of the weekend. We love the freedom and flight of birds and how they all live together co-existing freely filling the air like one big fluid caring family. And in the name of all birds... pack your swag and let's flock together on Yorta Yorta Country for the 2024 RIVERBOATS Music Festival.

Big crush on you all for the past month of show support. We never take this for granted as your ongoing interest and attention is the spine of our being and what compels us as a band to continually improve in doing so - this is all a mutual feedback loop. Your energy drives us and in return our energised playing whips that frenzy of your attendance - together we are a symbiotic organism of propulsive musical energy!

Stay tuned for a whole new episode of music in 2024!

In the meantime along with the slew of summer infests we have coming your way we finally return to Mt Gamier after many years have past... maybe last seen in the Shadows 2001 on the Wage War tour with the surly likes of the much missed GERLING in tow.

Last night Vinnies Dive... what a cookin' vibe. The energy was wild... and we mean wild. That was definitely NO DIVE... that was a full blown ascension. That felt like days of yore back in 90s Brisbane. You guys gave it your all... and we gave it back twice as hard. G7 blew the lids off the house. Let us see if we can all stir that spicey hot pot again tonight for a second blast of this 'ere birthday cackle! With Polly, Nick and the Mitch, Please gang...

In November 2018 we knocked down an old mobile phone shop, whacked a small stage up and opened up a tiny little venue in Southport. Around six months later a weird cloud formed over Gold Coast’s CBD and it bucketed down on top of the venue. What we didn’t know was that the night before someone had thrown a Schooner on top of the roof, and when the rain hit the schooner found its way into the downpipes and plugged the top up - forcing all the water to sq**rt out of every light fitting, flooding downstairs and also forming a waterfall that flowed straight onto the drum kit on stage. Perhaps that makes up part of our distinct smell that runs through the joint. A few months later, at one of our first sold out shows, the toilets completely blocked and we had staff & regulars plunging the toilets while their favourite band could be heard playing their song. In fact, it took about 4 years until we finally dug the old clay pipes that lay under the venue - and we finally made the news for finding old medicine bottles buried within. We’ve thrown a benefit for the devastating bushfires and shortly after, like everyone else, were forced to shut down while a Virus spread throughout the world. If you’d asked us if we had to deal with a world-wide pandemic, flooding and plunging s**t while our fave bands played we wouldn’t have believed you.

So, here we are 5 years later; still learning, building and making mistakes every day. We’re excited to announce VINNIES BIRTHDAY WEEK 2023, and have an amazing line up!!!

DIVE ON IN!!!!

Hey NUKEcastle! You absolutely blew the can up with a world of soda froth yesterday. You threw yourselves into the richly deserved throne of KING ST from the get go to bask in the silver lizard universe of brothers of the time TUMBLEWEED. And then threw it all back up at us following. Been a while but we finally got there... we had been booked for multiple SCENE & HEARD festivals that went the way of pandemic punctures with the 2023 rendition we were lined up for having to head to the retirement village. Anyway we thank you for your patience and ravenous welcome last night. Like Ben said - see you every year until we all die. Tumbleweed King Street

This weekend TWO wild nights for a 5 year old's birthday at VINNIES DIVE... gonna rip the cake to shreds. See you all there - Friday and Saturday. Vinnies Dive VOIID Mitch, Please ANTY Let's do this!!! One off chance to get super hot and sweaty in dive confines.

FRIDAY 10 NOVEMBER - how fast this year has evaporated into the mist of time. And speaking of... the BEN ELY AND THE MUNGO FUNGO BAND album "Zargon Oscillator Prose” is out today. Both this album and QUAN's Night Cream will also be available at the NOV Regurgitator shows merch stand.

Ben thinks mungo fungo…

"Finding ways to connect with friends can be deeply satisfying and many people connect in various ways. Some people play golf for extended periods of time. Some people go to Drag racing, Furry conventions or maybe even play a fine and wholesome game of Dungeons and dragons.

Mungo Fungo as a group that takes great pleasure in connecting socially in a tiny sound proof garden shed for regular Tuesday night freestyle jams. Once we hit 9.30pm we are very self conscious about upsetting the neighbours with our amplified guitar rock so we switch to the quieter format of analogue synthesisers and play and record long into the night. No songs are pre written or arranged. Oh no no no…

Everything you hear on Zargon Occillator Prose comes out of a need to connect and create happy accidents which are the songs you will find on this record! We hope you enjoy these little paintings we curated for the gallery that is you mind.

ENJOY!”

Bursting from the can next weekend for nun month only!

crushing it
soda impact culture
get it as you throw it

And glow at will - off the back of a steady diet of anything comes another hot box of shows across the evaporating twilight of ’23.

The past year back on stages has crushed and improvised from Spring Loaded to Good Things to Units - more steps than one can wonder up that craggy trail of precarious independence lingering on the kindling embers of a bloated spectacle. All in the face of an industry fabricating a vortex of froth and culture packed and canned for your homogenous convenience. And the costs burn offerings like a dialed up hot spit roast set on excess.

“Independence is not a word which can be used as an exorcism, but an indispensable condition for the existence of people who are truly liberated, in other words who are truly masters of all the material means which make possible the radical transformation of society” (Fanon)

From the red hot centre of Mparntwe in September; stadium scale adventures with Weezer and KISS in October; festivals in Melton, Woodford, Riverboats in Echuca, Springloaded in Gosford, and Golden Plains; two nights of 5th birthday mayhem at Vinnie’s Dive Bar on the Gold Coast, a night at the much adored GOV in Adelaide, all collapsing in two nights of a Badlands closing down sale - we span the horizons. All travels carbon offset.

Crush it up now.

REGURGITATOR crushing it. 2023.

PSEUDO ECHO Pseudo Echo
Pseudo Echo pioneered the eighties with their avant-garde look and electro sound, introducing audiences to a new sound in an era of pub rock. Making history along the way, Pseudo Echo became the first unrecorded band to appear on the legendary Australian music show “Countdown”. Following the release of gold and platinum albums “Autumnal Park” and “Love An Adventure”, the band achieved world-wide success with the release of their international hit “Funky Town”, establishing themselves as one of the most iconic, multi-award winning bands in the country.
https://www.pseudoecho.net/

TUMBLEWEED Tumbleweed
In 2022 Tumbleweed celebrated 30 years of rock with a national tour, they released a best of album called “Killer Weed” through Farmer and the Owl and a new single “Patchouli Girl” produced by Rob Younger. They played a few big stages with KISS and as a part of the Springloaded festival and since then have been laying low.

Taking a break, working on other things.

Tumbleweed was always about the wild live pub show, loud, sweaty, visceral energy where anything can happen, it’s what they love, it’s what they do best, and so Tumbleweed emerged from their cave to play a one off show last weekend. But when ya hot, ya hot and once old mates Regurgitator heard about that they asked the ‘weed to join the ‘gurge for a one off show in Newcastle on Sunday November 12. Who can blame them really. Of course they said yes……

MITCH PLEASE , Please
“Up front the singer is all of the Spice Girls rolled into one. Powerful, charismatic, engaging, entertaining, sporty, spicy and, at times, scary. But damn, can she sing.”

Mitch, Please are a 5-piece nerd punk band from Meanjin/Brisbane and sit somewhere between pop punk and hardcore in the genre spectrum. Elements of fast-tempo melodic pop meet heavier metal riffs and vocals that range from thrash-heavy to Disney-whimsical, with many levels in between. Debut EP The Bin Collection helped solidify the band as a local South East Queensland favourite, playing to a loyal fan base alongside some well-known Australian artists and receiving generous airplay from national community radio stations, with 4ZZZ FM ranking it in the Top 20 most played every week for over 4 months following it release. On December 9th, 2022, Mitch, Please released their second 6-track EP 'Yes, Thanks'. Using familiar elements of satire and double entendre akin to The Bin Collection, 'Yes, Thanks' takes inspiration from relatable shortcomings such as puzzle-addiction, over-consumption of fizzy drinks and the hoarding of band shirts.

VOIID VOIID
From Brisbane - in a world full of injustice, inequality and ignorance, VOIID endeavour to lend a voice to those in need of it and as a band strive to their larger ambition of reinventing the role of female.

“Socioanomaly”, the third EP released by Meanjin/Brisbane-based VOIID, cemented the band’s position as a colossal force in the Australian punk scene as well as their lifelong friendship. After playing alongside the likes of Amyl & The Sniffers, DZ Deathrays and WAAX, the band’s caustic magnetism has seen them grow a loyal community of followers who share their belief in a more equal future, as well as smashing a few guitars along the way to claiming it.

BRIXTON ALLEY Brixton Alley
In Jan 2020, Brixton Alley decided to jump on a plane from their UK homes and come to Australia to play shows and have fun. The pandemic at the time completely shattered their plans and they found themselves stranded in Melbourne with no clue what to do. They decided to adopt Australia and call it home and fast-forwarding to now, the boys are releasing their best music, playing their best shows and flying their new banner as an Australian band.

One thing that needs to be highlighted is Brixton Alley's work ethic. Since accidentally moving to Australia full time, the band has navigated the hardest time to play shows in history by knocking out over 100 gigs since the pandemic started.

Now calling Brisbane home, they are taking every opportunity to play and have supported bands like The Terry’s, Surf Trash and Pricey at iconic venues like The Triffid. Their live sets have quickly attracted die-hard fans, and they are being hailed as one of the best performing outfits in Brisbane.
https://www.facebook.com/brixtonalleyband/

PRINK Prink
Melbourne-based Slush's debut EP is filled with feminist, punky-pop tunes that make for an exciting introduction to their music.
https://prinkstink.bandcamp.com/track/wifebeater

ANTY! from the Bennies side project thingo. ANTY
“This is reggae hip hop and it’s out of control,” Anty proclaims on ‘The Anty Affliction’, telling fans just how to characterise his unique record. Bold and forceful, Rudeboy features the same forceful vocals fans know Anty for, but with the blended addition of Jamaican dancehall sounds, combined with the same kind of stream-of-consciousness-poetry utilised by the likes of The Streets’ Mike Skinner.

MOLER Moler
Melbourne's enigmatic 90s indie post-punk trio, carved out their niche with a fusion of dissonant melodies and a raw and edgy sound. Hailing from the underground scene and fronted by the ever charismatic Helcat who could seamlessly shift from introspective crooning to frenzied yowls, they weave tales of urban disillusionment, with lyrics as thought-provoking as their melodies were infectious. It's been a while Adelaide but we're coming atcha again so strap yourselves in, it's gonna be a wild ride for sure .

TURNSTYLE Turnstyle
Now a decade into their permanent reunion – a tenure exceeding their original 1995 - 2002 existence – Perth’s guitar-vs-Casio wunderkinds Turnstyle released their fourth album, Citizens’ Handbook in early September and now prepare to send off one of their hometown’s most beloved venues. The years have aged the band but not damaged their quirk. The innocent indie kids of yore now a little more world-wise but their fuzz pedal settings have remained in a locked position: Heavy. A. F.

THE LAST QUOKKA Last Quokka
Last Quokka are garage punk from Fremantle (whadjuk country). Described as if "King Gizz were a suburban punk band" (Double J), their latest sonic offering 'Red Dirt' has received high praise around the country. It's socially conscious, piss-taking, big riff energy that you can shake your ass to.

GRUNGE BARBIE Grunge Barbie
After years of individually fronting the acts H***y, New Talk and Trolley, Shinead Ruby, Kiera Alice Owen and Germaine Jones came together as Grunge Barbie in 2019 and proceeded to take over line ups across Perth and Fremantle. Earning a series of incredible shows (including supports with Sleaford Mods and RVG), Grunge Barbie bend the parameters of grunge, punk and hip hop, weaving them together fearlessly. Three powerful women have turned the last couple of years into a blueprint for anyone who has ever had to crash and reboot. There’s darker energies within the trio, flirtations with noise-work and uncharted lyrical content that speaks to Ruby's ability to question everything, even herself.
