screamfeeder live web chat

February 27, 2001

OK we’ve got the Healer gig tomorrow night, in Brisbane’s Valley. We’ve got a few new songs in the set, a couple of old faves we’d forgotten about, stuff like that.

We’ve been trying to learn how to play “close again” but Mike and Dean decided to go to AC/DC this week, so we didn’t go to practice.. but we’ve still got new stuff to play!!We’re also doing a web chat thing, where you nerds get on yr computers and “talk to us”.

The official blurb:”SCREAMFEEDER — Tuesday 13 February, 7pm AEDT With a new album, Rocks On The Soul, on the shelves and a tour in the works, Screamfeeder will jump into the music chatroom bursting with enthusiasm and on-the-road stories. Catch the trio on Tuesday, February 13 at 7pm AEDT if you can make it, or send questions to if you can’t. http://www.juice.net/musicchat.htm

Note: All times are in AEDT — Australian Eastern Daylight-savings Time which applies to NSW, ACT, TAS and VIC. QLD is 1 hour behind, SA is 1/2 hour behind, NT is 1 1/2 hours behind, WA is 3 hours behind and New Zealand is 2 hours ahead.)

“We are bursting with enthusiasm too!! If you’re not up for a web chat, not technologically advanced or whatever (we don’t mind) you can always give us a call if there’s something you want to know.. go on, feel free, ask away.

We’ll I’d better give you the dates for the rest of the tour huh?Adelaide:Thurs 15th the Enigma Barfri 16th the Holdfast both shows with punkers H BLOCK 101 who we saw at homebake and they rocked very well indeed thank you very much.

  • Melbourne:Sat 17th: The Evelyn, not sure who with yet. It’ll be someone good though.
  • Sun 18th: big special rock night in BALLARAT! Us and H BLOCK again.

You’d better not let us down ballarat! Kellie’s got this theory that rock has been driven back underground where it belongs, and there’s gonna be a true rock resurgence any minute (look out). I think I agree with her.. let’s rock!you know where we’ll be.

Thank God I got my computer back in action, I was starting to go insane.OK! Cheers to all the lovely folk in Adelaide, Melbourne and even Ballarat! What a weekend!!

Mega thanks also to the wonderful H BLOCK 101 – they rock, see them if you get a chance. Talk about decent guys too, jeesh!

Guess what? we’re doing a sneak trip down to Sydney on the 9th and 10th of March!! (a week and a half away!) We’ll be playing at the Vic on the Park in Marrickville, on the Saturday night. Not sure of the supports yet, but they’ll be good ones, I know it.

*Hey, Lo-Tel have offered us their pad for the whole weekend for free!!! Cutting accom costs – I’m down with that! they’ve even promised us dinner, guitar lessons, and a large night out on the white wine!! Talk about getting the treatment. The singer dude’s gonna give me a haircut too. Either that or I’ll damn well give him one.

Down the pub with Sekiden

February 21, 2001

Well well well!!! What about Sydney eh? We even bumped into Sekiden down the pub! Cheers to everyone who came, we had a lot of fun.

The next thing we do is play The Healer, in Brisbane (in the valley). It’ll be cool, Watership Down are on, and Pale too. It’s this Saturday night – keep it free! Put it in yr organisers, or on yr mobiles or yr foreheads – whatever.  No, seriously though, do come, I’ve got a good feeling about it. That means something, I think it means it’ll ROCK.

Our next single Mr Tuba is out any second, and the Stopless clip has been on Rage apparently (we were busy down the pub with Sekiden)

We’ll be in Adelaide and Melbourne in a week and a half, dates to follow..!

And we’re still trying for the lo-tel support on their next tour, damn!! I wanna peek in their dressing room..

To the airport!

February 14, 2001

Ok, well we’re gonna get up at 4.00 am on Thursday to come to Adelaide and play loud fast rock shows with H BLOCK 101. (What about Lo-Tel, getting up to drive us to the airport (virgin terminal please driver!) – fuck they’re sweet guys! 3 cheers!)

Do we ever stop? No! we’re tough guys. Melbourne too this weekend, supports: Origami (electronic pop) and Nokturnl (rock rap..phew, talk about covering all bases) at the Evelyn, and the punkin’ H BLOCK again in Ballarat.

We’ve been practising Close Again all week – it’s not very exciting playing the one song all night long again and again, but it means we can finally do it live, which is very NICE!

See you at the bar ~ tim/kel/dean n mike feeder

oh yeah! –
What about checking out www.brispop.com while yr sitting around on line waiting for that mp3 to download? It’s an ace site, full of Brisbane Pop bands. God, they’re lovely!

Check out the revue they wrote on our gig on saturday night:

Screamfeeder @ The Healer, 10 February 2001

Mark: Jo and I arrived right at the start of the Screamfeeder set so we missed Watership Down and Pale. This is a real shame since I really wanted to see Pale, it’s great to see them getting some regular shows again.

Jo: Yeah, what a great line-up! Screamfeeder were very very rock indeed, your regular energiser bunnies.

Mark: Tim spent more time off the ground than on it!

Jo: …Kellie made up for that toward the end of the set though. But they still didn’t stuff anything up! The material from ‘Rocks on the Soul’ sounds great live, I have a good feeling about this. They’re sounding really polished, and the kids were shaking their tail feathers with abandon. Everything about the performance made me smile, and my ears are still ringing. Surely now is the time for Screamfeeder to be massive.

Mark: Yeah, but my ears ring all the time anyway.

Jo: Yes dear you are very rock too…

Mark: The extra guitarist really fills out the live sound, but really can’t match Tim for rock moves though.

Jo: I thought I was going to be sconned by his tele there for a bit. The consummate professional though, for all the bouncing and thrashing he still kept an eye on the amp mike. They’ve got quite the collection of spunky guitars going on too, good to see the rockness stopped short of injuring them too badly. My highlight for the night was hearing HiCs and Triple Hook end on end (just like on the EP). ‘Domino’ is still in my head too….

Mark: Stopless was interesting, featuring a sampled drum loop with Dean drumming along after the first few bars (as per the CD). It suddenly made me think of My Bloody Valentine, especially with Kellie’s vocals over the top.

Jo: Yeah, I’m really impressed by how far Kellie has come from the days of Rock Against Work in the early 90’s. You go girl! And I’d forgotten how good a drummer Dean is… I think we can officially say that Screamfeeder went off.

Mark: Like prawns in the sun?

Jo: Erm, like veteran rock-piglets on the verge…

Another thing, vote for f.a.q in the logies in the light entertainment category. I’ve been told this, I don’t have a telly so i’m acting in good faith.
