Yes, the show must go on! Pablo will be performing some covers and Bang of Sun songs live at Café Appret, Doreen, on Friday, August 1st, 2014. Also onstage is guitar wiz Andy Mooney (ex-The Flat Stanley) performing solo. Pablo and Andy plan to do two songs together as well. There’ll be heaps of other acts onstage, too, so come along and support the vibrant and fun little local music scene. FREE ENTRY. Great food. Family-friendly atmosphere (kids are welcome!) Booze purchasable, too (access to buses too).
Bang of Sun is officially franchising to Melbourne, following Pablo’s return to Oz! This is our last gig in Japan for the foreseeable future, and it is going to be a splendiferous evening. Varit is an amazing place for live music in Kobe. We hope to see you there to send Pablo off and physically/verbally vent your frustrations about his unexpected departure*.
*Anything thrown on stage will likely be kept as a memento. No underwear please, Justin.
The band will continue on its back catalogue of original tunes, shaping them into the next EP/album with help from the Internets, and some new members in the fold. Look out for some new stuff, and take care not to catch a cold with the change of seasons.
Bang of Sun
Thanks to everyone who came and supported the Varit and Iznt crossover event last Saturday. We really loved the experience and if you couldn’t make it, we’re sorry, because you kind of missed out big time.
As a personal thank you to the people who liked this page and as a thank you to those who came out last Saturday, here is a live version of “Synchronise”.
If you care for such things, the lyrics are as follows:
———————
SYNCHRONISE
———————
life sways sideways…
like only you know pain…
you’ve been singled out by the Three Fates once again…
no one appreciates the cruel time you’ve been through…
coz no one suffers like you do…
sheah, right!
when an old man dies…
a library burns…
and what he’s learned…
fills his urn…
we’re gone, gone… (blink!)
& we’re gone, gone… (blink!)
& we’re gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
now, don’t misunderstand me…
I don’t mean it’s all sad & bleak…
just notice life synchronizing…
& beauty as it’s expiring…
coz if you’re not prepared…
for death, it seems unfair…
nobody gets spared…
especially the ones you care for…
& I’m speaking here with personal authority…
my dad exists in photos now…
& I am grave… make no mistake…
but there’s no escape… from death’s slow rape…
we’re gone, gone… (blink!)
& we’re gone, gone… (blink!)
& we’re gone, gone, gone, gone, GONE!
now, don’t misunderstand me…
I don’t mean it’s all sad & bleak…
just notice life synchronizing…
& beauty as it’s expiring…
even the Great Wall of China has pores…
& your shortcomings …
incite your inner wars…
there’s no clause…
that exempts you from loss’s swords…
Well….my bedroom will soon be free of Bang of Sun EPs. That means we are down to our last handful! They will be available tomorrow night at Varit when we play this SUPER, EPIC, MULTIBAND, FREE (ANOTHER BIG WORD) EXCHANGE event:
https://www.facebook.com/events/198799796956684/
Bang of Sun plays at 21:20. We are banging two new songs too!
So anyway, the about the EP: 5 original songs, an artfully designed insert, access to secret material and MORE* can be yours for a 1 COIN DONATION. “An entire EP? they are asking. “Have you gone mad?”, they are asking. The answer is “yes”. There is no punchline to this obviously distressing state of affairs, BUT your shiny coins will make us smile, and you will be granted access to some private areas of our minds to satisfy your own twisted curiosity. See you there!!!
P.S The new demo is called “Sparring”. Tell us what you think!
