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).
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!
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.
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’.
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.
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.
