Our Old Mailouts

Imagine that, it’s be a very interesting episode, for about 5 minutes maybe, before it disintegrated into conversations about hairstyles (Dean finally succumbed to the scissors this week) and stupid imaginary situations.. good thing it’s not true, like our train wreck story. jeesh, some people were really offended by that too, really!

Well well well look at us eh? we’re doing something that we haven’t done for way too long, go on TOUR!!

• Thursday 30th May – Newcastle Uni
• Friday 31st May – Kelts Bar
• Sat 1st June – Hopetoun Hotel, with Faker and Neon

NSW dates only at this stage, but we’ll be spreading our beautifully manicured wings further afield soon, very soon.

We’ve also gotten ourselves a new practice room, finally, sharing with Brisbane alt-country rock legends HALFWAY, and “prog rock” (that’s their description, not mine) – band Whipsnade Zoo, (featuring Liam from Ashgrove Woollies on distorted guitar). Nice, all very nice. And to celebrate we wrote two new songs in our first week. Now that’s so good it’s a crime.

*Darek car thief
*Dean white collar crime
*Kellie illegal gambling
*Tim bank jobs

*screamfeeder

Lots going on in camp feeder:

*If you live in Brisbane and you’re after something cheap and nasty to do on Saturday night (tomorrow) why not pop down to South Leagues Club in West End to see Tim’s solo show? There’ll be a couple of other people playing, a DJ (taking requests), food, lager, pool tables, and it’s all FREE! starts 8pm

*Then next Thursday the 17th, Tim’s on again, at The Zoo, with future major label superstars Shutterspeed

*Many more gigs coming up, quite a few have been announced on the site already, so don’t delay!

*News of our imminent overseas jaunt very soon..

*the “two t shirts for $30” thing went down a treat last week, expect to see more fashionable people than ever before getting around.

• Darek Batman
• Dean Robin
• Kellie The Penguin
• Tim The Joker

Now there’s a complete lie to grab your attention! Don’t worry, we’re all safe and sound, although thinking about it, the term “train wreck” could easily be applicable to many of our misadventures over the years..

Anyway anyway, we really are gonna be coming out on tour around June. I don’t know any details, but couldn’t resist blurting it out. I can’t keep a secret if my life depends on it. We’ve missed playing for you all around the country, it’s been too long!

Finally, thanks to our clever friend Richard in Melbourne, our online order form is working again, so you can sneak yr parents’ credit card numbers, get onto the site and order t shirts and cds to your heart’s content! *when they receive the credit card statement and hit the roof, tell them “hey, it’s screamfeeder stuff, all quality merchandise, and besides, Tim said to do it”. they’ll understand.

To celebrate our return to online commerce we’re offering 2 T SHIRTS for $30 – but only for a week, jeesh, we all gotta eat y’know. We’ve still got two beautiful designs, the “rocks on the soul” art print, and the black and white pic of a contingent of the ‘feeder army getting off the plane. Check em out: http://www.screamfeeder.com

Are you a lover of fine music (you obviously are, ha!) – but seriously, if your dream is to get hold of great punk/indie releases on vinyl or cd at a great price, look no further than here: http://www22.brinkster.com/apito/it truly rocks.

Much more news coming very soon.

• tim – sideburns
• Kellie – cigger burns
• Dean – montgomery burns
• Darek – burn outs

Well a lot of new people signed up recently, thanks y’all! I’ve been wondering what to write in this mailout, hence the delay, as we’re up to so much, but it’s so scattered and all over the place. What can i say? – we’re just that kind of band!

We did some recording recently, you can read about it on the site, we’ve been demoing new songs, and as usual we’ve philosophising endlessly about the band, its place in our lives and in the world (oof!).

* Tim’s doing an solo show at QUT in Brisbane on the evening of Thursday 28th (this week). It’s free, and local band Wipsnade Zoo will be playing too. The night before Good Friday – should be a fairly decent excuse for a couple of lagers and some tip top entertainment!

* Tim and Kel are doing the “duet” thing again at Ric’s in the Brisbane Valley mall on Sunday – yes, Easter Sunday. Expect a few intimate blissed out ‘feeder tunes, a couple of covers and plenty more musical treats, (shit, we might even throw in a Rancid cover, after listening to the Rancid / NoFx split album all day..) Fluent JB will DJ between our sets, there’s a well stocked bar, and we’ll even give out some free easter eggs. Sounds too good to be true huh?

It’s free, and starts around 4pm. Last time we played there we both tripped over leads all day and Kel’s mic stand swung round and smacked her in the face a couple of times. It was lots of fun.

Welcome to the feeder mailout everyone, hope you’re having fun already..

• Tim – fish fingers, beans and chips
• Kellie – has a new car, and it’s older than she is
• Dean – can stumble out of bed at 7.58 and catch the 8.00 bus
• Darek – is now an “I.T. Officer” – some respect please!
