The Birthday Party

Australia

The Birthday Party (originally known as The Boys Next Door) were an Australian post-punk group, active from 1976 to 1983. Despite being championed by John Peel, The Birthday Party found little commercial success during their career. Though often indirect, their influence has been far... Read More

  • “Sentimentality & Brute Violence”: Nick Cave ..
    While many still know Nick Cave best for his work as a musician in groups like The Birthday Party, and especially for albums such as Let Love In and Tender Prey that he produced along with his band The Bad Seeds, Cave has become increasingly more visible in the world of cinema ever since he first started collaborating with filmmaker John Hillcoat on the helmer’s 1988 feature “Ghosts…of the Civil Undead.” That pairing has proved to be a lucrative one, as Cave went on to write the grisly Australian Neo-Western “The Proposition” for Hillcoat to direct, which has ...

After six month of hard work it’s about time for Girls Names to share the new single “A [...]

  • Tu Fawning - "A Monument" CD Review (City Sl ..
    Portland, OR’s Tu Fawning released their sophomore album, A Monument , today on City Slang. This album marks the first release written and recorded collaboratively as a four-piece. This time out, band leaders Corrina Repp and Joe Haege are joined by Liza Reitz (piano, organ, violin, percussion, vocals) and Toussaint Perrault (synth, trumpet, percussion, vocals). The nine tracks on this new disc are layered and musically dense and show the band heading down a dark path similar to some of the early 80’s post-punk, gothic bands (Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Birthday Party). While there are some moments of ...

  • So Many Wizards, "Happy Birthday"
    "Happy Birthday To You" is the most recognized song in the English language. Attempts to dethrone "Happy Birthday To You" range from The Beatles ego-driven oversight "Birthday", which Lennon respectfully called "a piece of garbage", to narrowing the scope down to the small perks of birthdays (see: "Birthday Sex" by Jeremih). Many attempts were made in every language and by various pop and punk performers like The Birthday Party, The Smiths, ...

    Aus den Tiefen Israels erhebt sich aktuell ein Sound, den man wohl eher in den frühen Zeiten des No Wave und Post Punk erwartet hätte. Junkyard + The Wings Of Desire kommen mit einem lässigen Sound daher, der von Bands wie Bauhaus, The Cure und The Birthday Party inspiriert wurde.

    Photo by  Ruvan Wijesooriya Quite a busy year for James Murphy in his post- LCD life, with no signs of slowing, either. Murphy has teamed up with  Pedro Winter  (a.k.a. Busy P) of Ed Banger Records  on a series of collaborations to celebrate the opening of a new Levi's store on Champs Élysées in Paris. The pairing was commissioned to symbolize a union between French and American creative cultures.   Murphy and Winter co-designed limited edition T-shirts and trucker jackets to be sold at the store during its opening months, and curated collections of albums that will soundtrack ...

  • K-Holes: Dismania
    K-Holes Dismania Hardly Art Records [2012]   Fire Note Says: K-Holes bring the gritty side of New York City straight to you on their sophomore outing Dismania . Album Review: If there was ever an album that sounded like it was straight out of the New York City streets I believe that the sophomore record from K-Holes could be a front runner. Its sludgy hazed up production fills your speakers with an overwhelming wave of noise while the combo powerhouse vocals of Jack Hines (Black Lips) and Vashti Windish (Golden Triangle) cut through their self-generated barriers. For an album that has a ...

    The KVB From: Southampton, United Kingdom If you believe the hysterical doom mongers the end of the world is nigh (again) and not even Indiana Jones can save us this time. Apparently an ancient Mayan chain of stationers forgot to order their 2013 calendar and therefore, obviously, a cataclysmic event will destroy the earth before the end of this year. With the world teetering on the edge of extinction it's hardly surprising that Glum Rock is undergoing a long overdue renaissance. Following the lead of The Horrors, bands like Toy, S.C.U.M and the under appreciated Suicide ...

  • News: Lou Barlow’s Aus Playlist
    Ahead of a solo tour, quasi-Australian citizen LOU BARLOW (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr) tells us about the band that made him do a double-take in his dad's pick-up truck, and the song that makes him hulk around his lounge room like a zombie. Photo by MATIAS CORRAL . Eddy Current Suppression Ring I love Eddy Current Suppression Ring. They opened for Dinosaur Jr a few years ago and I was completely blown away. They played 'Colour Television' among all their other awesome tunes. After the show I thought I may never ever hear them again. I figured it was one of ...
