Friday 28 August –Slamfest! The Basement (2 Cohen Street, Belconnen) – 18+ $15

Local legends LAMEXCUSE’s final show TONIGHT!!! With:

The Quickening return for a quick run of shows to promote their 2nd studio album, White Blossoms – a 9 track serving of killer melodic metal. Kicking the trip off in Canberra, they’re joined by Sydney’s The Optionals and Mr Vengeance in support of local popadm/punk heroes Lamexcuse at the Basement in Belconnen.
This Canberra show is a celebration of all things punk, from the high-melody, ‘fat wreck chords’ style of Lamexcuse, through the Descendants/Seaweed-esque husky-punk of The Optionals; from the hard-edged, erratic guitarmonies of Mr Vengeance, to the classic metal mega-beat epics of The Quickening that have made them an underground favourite throughout the country, any self-respecting punk fan would be crazy to miss out.

Saturday 29 August – Rollerball – The Basement – 18+ $15

Queensland rockers ROLLERBALL launch the new album SUBMARINE at The Basement in Canberra 29th August with LOOKING GLASS and Syd outfit BUZZARD

Take a mix of AC/DC, Kyuss, Blue Oyster Cult & Thin Lizzy & you get a hint of the unique Rollerball sound- massive riffs, surrealist lyrics, tribal rhythms & pounding grooves.

I don’t think so…

Is there a computer fair on this weekend at EPIC ?
