Things being as they are

August 31st, 2010

Hello.  He is a short list of things as they are:

  • We have now booked five shows in Japan this October, with perhaps a couple more to come.  Details soon.
  • Brain Cobra and Flying Diamonds are currently mixing our next single, due out in a few weeks, in Sydney.  We’ll be playing shows in Sydney (Spectrum, October 13) and Melbourne (November) later in the year to launch it.

The end.  Told you it was short!  Did I mention that we’ve got Twitter?  It’s sort of like this blog, except we offer you medical solutions to erectile dysfunction less often (but not never).

Japan

June 7th, 2010

We got totally wastoid on some kitten juice, woke up the next day and it turned out we booked flights to Japan, so we’ve decided that we should play music while we are there.

So yeah, come October 2010, the ramps will eating horse sashimi/wasabi doritos/squishy sweet things in Japan and drinking terrible coffee from vending machines. Fuck yeeeaaah. One of the ramps will also be playing in ii too. Do Come!

no no. no no no no. no no no no. no no there’s no limits.

or so i’m told.

on a non ramps related note, i made a music video for pikelet. it was filmed in the pacific somewhere, and we gave the camera acid. here ’tis.

we’re playing with crayon fields at their ‘welcome back from the US!!’ show at the Northcote Social Slub on April 24. we haven’t played in ages, so it’ll be rusty.

oh, and celebricheese

BAM!

some things i forgot to mention

January 14th, 2010

Our song ‘antique limb’ is in the running for the jjj hottest 100. i’m not sure what happens if it makes it in, maybe we win a fancy car or something.

So you can go vote for it here, if you’re one of those people who votes for things.

Also, we made an EP that you can get on iTunes right here. Kinda forgot to tell anyone about this, y’know how it is.

It features our song ‘destroy the universe with jazz hands’ from the midnight believer album, plus a remix by our pal slo-mo speedboat, an 8-bit re-imagining of ‘antique limb’ by neutro & lone zero and a cover we did of leonard cohen’s ‘don’t go home with your hard on’.

Last thing for the year 2009

December 18th, 2009

We’re playing at the Order of Melbourne this Sunday December 20 (after a “design” “market” “thing” earlier in the afternoon there) with NAmericans Castanets and Tiger Saw, and Novocastrian church organist Alps. Come see! Extreme Wheeze’s beard is going to turn bright white. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Slightly awkward interview on 1700, from May ‘09

December 9th, 2009

Anyway - come see us on Tuesday with Why? at the Corner, or next Sunday with Castanets and Alps at the Order of Melbourne!

Why? Because we’re playing at this in a couple of weeks.

November 25th, 2009

Thanks to the good cells at Mistletone, here is us and the PLEs and Why? and a number of beverages and some bacterium and dirty fingernails and toe chutney.

‘Short attention spans’

November 25th, 2009

So here’s some crap about us from the Triple J webses instead. Hooray! Ps. Dear my boss, be quiet now.

And interview on Home And Hosed here.

Ugh. Work.
