[tour] Video Nasty (AU) SE Asia Tour (Feb 2012)

We told ya, Feb is Aussie month. Following hot on the heels of CLOWNS, JESS LOCKE, and VIRGINIA SOOK is fastcore outfit VIDEO NASTY. Over here we have a special penchant for short, fast, and loud bands so this is something we are highly anticipating. We've seen some pretty crazy-looking shows courtesy of YouTube with their manic vocalist Mishu so hold tight for this! 

Word has it that they will be releasing a tape in time for the tour, too. There will also be shirts. And as if all of this wasn't good enough, Malaysian and Indonesian punk kids will see this band's (English) lyrics translated into the respective native languages too. We love it when stuff is accessible to everyone.

Watch out for Singapore show details round the corner.

[tour] Coche Bomba (FR) SE Asia Tour (Oct/Nov 2011)

COCHE BOMBA: five jerks from Lyon (France) starting playing fast, violent and distorted hardcore-punk at the beginning of the 90's. Not that they were ahead of their time, but their quirky sound, machine-gun drumming, odd tempo changes, were not that common by French standards back then. Instead of following trends or imitating bands, they developed their own musical approach. Lyrics, alternatively sung in French, English and Spanish deal mostly with socio-political issues.

They have been all over the place; US, Mexico, South America, their native European fronts and now they'll be here. Some of you old-school hardcore punkers must be shitting your pants!

Brought to you by 7x0x7, details for the Singapore show will be coming soon. Get ready to thrash!

[tour] Atomgevitter (SCT) / Family Man (DE) / Michael Crafter (AU) / Injakmati (ID) SE Asia Tour (July 2011)

It seems like quadruple touring bills aren't that run-of-the-mill. This July, DIY tour booking collective 7x0x7 brings you 4 hardcore-punk bands which will tour the region including Singapore. Fast hardcore thrash unit ATOMGEVITTER from Scotland, who also shares a member with "archaic hardcore" band FAMILY MAN from Germany will tour with Australian posiviolence duo MICHAEL CRAFTER and Indonesian raw grind outfit INJAKMATI. Sounds like a hardcore powerviolence grind extravaganza, if you ask us!

Details for the Singapore show will be released soon enough so keep checking back.
