Damn Arms (legs are sooo much better)
A SINCERE APOLOGY TO EVERYONE OUT THERE, THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE UP AND READABLE LAST NIGHT BUT OUR WEB HOST DECIDED TO HAVE A SPACK ATTACK. SO NOW WITH MY SMOKE SOAKED NOSTRILS AND MUSTY BOOZE BREATH I PRESENT TO YOU: DAMN ARMS. HAVE A READ AND A LISTEN! ALSO A BIG THANKYOU TO THE DARDANELLES, PAPER SCISSORS, ROGER EXPLOSION, TEAM EXTREME TEAM AND K BABY FOR SANDWICH CLUB LAST NIGHT IT WAS WAY COOL. ANYONE WHO DIDNT GET DOWN TO CANDYS MAKE SURE YOU DO NEXT TIME AS WE WERE OVERWHELMED WITH THE TURNOUT. THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY BIG IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS SO WATCH THIS SPACE! ANYWAYS ON WITH THE BLOG.
What a day. I have been staring at a computer screen for the past few days and poured enough Visine eyedrops down my tear ducts to make even the biggest stoner look like a pussy. Tonight I feel I have earned my brewskies these last few weeks and what better place to have them than with all of you kool kats @ The Sandwich Club's cool room CANDYS APARTMENT. No doubt you have been bombarded with the emails (if you haven't then you'd bloody well want to be after this night. Oh yes THERE WILL BE SANDWICHES!
So sitting in my Dr Evil swivel chair watching my hot scando, or is she American (love you Abby) fashion consultant pull out all my possible outfits for tonight I was trying to think what music would best get my loins ready for a night such as this. The next track came through the speakers. It sounded like an orchestra, Bowie, Primal Scream and My Bloody Valentine (a fave of mine at the moment) had got a room for the night and had a mass orgy. Of sounds of course. Iewwwwwwwww! DAMN ARMS are from Melbourne and have set themselves apart from the bewildering amount bands that we have blogged. Their music makes you feel alive, like you just want to stand up, shut up and flay your limbs around in the least coordinated, but expressive way. If you don't believe me put it this way, it made my extremely saucy fashion assistant come alive and move with more sexiness than I had ever seen her move before and she doesn't even exist!
They've toured the UK with TEST ICICLES & HELP SHE CANT SWIM. Toured AUSTRALIA with THE KILLS [USA], THE (INTERNATIONAL) NOISE CONSPIRACY [SWEDEN] and SOMETHING FOR KATE. Played shows with LIARS [USA], WHIRLWIND HEAT [USA], SPANKROCK [USA], THE DRONES & HARD-ONS. All these reputable bands have rubbed off on these guys in one or the other and have no doubt provided them with the experience to perform and make some of the least suitable toe tapping tunes I have heard for a while. So have a listen to these Damn Arms and get ready for tonight, its going to be killer. Bring the fun and you imagination. We hope that some of you come and say hi to the Sandwich Club Crew. We get lonely dancing up the front. Just look for me, I will be in the 'White Goodman' leather jumpsuit (Dammit I told you I need a fashion assistant!)
