(Quoted from Punkas.com) "Wellington DIY thrashers Shortlived are putting out that rarest of all releases in this part of the world - a vinyl 12". The 14-song self-titled album will be limited to a mere 200 copies and will only be available from the band - NOT from stores - for $25.
To get a taste of what the album sounds like, you can download the tracks "I, Terrorist" (here) and "Comedian" (here) for free.
To celebrate the album release, the band are also hitting the road for a National Tour during the tail end of January, with almost all the shows booked in (nothing like the last minute!). The details so far are:
Thursday, January 22 - Yaza Cafe, Nelson (w/Basura Blanca, Nothing But Trouble) [R18]
Friday, January 23 - Otautahi Social Centre, Christchurch (w/Hatewanx, Yeti Smasher) [AA]
Saturday, January 24 - Arc Cafe, Dunedin (w/Foe, Conniption, Black Forest) [R18]
Thursday, January 29 - The Fox Den, Auckland (w/Wasteland, Hardtimes, Buzzkill and one more tbc) [AA]
Friday, January 30 - Thrash Palace, Hamilton (w/Wasteland, Gawj, Electric Mayhem) [R18]
Saturday, January 31 - Lorne Street, Wellington (w/Entrails, Malparido, Adam Smith Assassination) [AA]
After that, the band gear up once more to head over to Europe in June. Their tour there will take in places such as the Netherlands, Germany and Slovenia, plus many more besides."
My band, Buzzkill will be playing the Auckland show. Come along and have a mean time. It's only $7 entry. Bands on at 7:30-8ish.
