Will it work?

ooooo

Obligatory monthly blog post

Yikes! A month almost passed without a single blog post. Imagine that. So much vital Small Hours information would have gone untold. Vital information like the fact that I have nothing to report. Yes, aren't you glad you're here reading this. But amongst all our unproductivity, we have managed to spawn two mp3s. They are not songs, but rather wild beasts that escaped the axe. They are not even worthy of the ten minutes they occupy. But will that stop you? Don't worry, it's not long before we resume our roles as useful human beings again. See you in November!

Jam Session?

4th. We swear.

Welcome to yet another infrequent update from the land of small hours. Exciting times lie ahead and we're filled with more enthusiasm than that guy can poke a mic stand at. On Saturday we head to Spectrum with Ice Cream Hands and The Laurels which will be great. We have the last of our limited edition demos to give away, but you'll have to fight for them.

You better not miss it cause it will be our last show for at least a month. We've decided to take a short break in preparation for our big break in November (makes sense). With all the shows we've been doing, new stuff has taken a back seat and we're looking to rectify that. So unless Bono asks us to play for some starving kids, you shan't be hearing much of us during October.

However, when November arrives, we will be back in full force to play three huge weekends before Craig heads off to the land of prohibition. They include a trip to Melbourne and super Sydney band night which you'll find out about very soon. Until then, look out for some new demos and if you're lucky, another exhilarating installment of moral slush.

More Band Comp And More

It's starting to seem like the band comp is all that ever gets blogged about these days. When we started this place, we thought we'd be offering commentaries on the all the important issues in life (the art of train travelling may still one day arrive) and even toyed around with the idea of a podcast. Ha! Reality is so much less exciting than the imagination. But hopefully we'll be able to keep this place vaguely relevant by offering the occasional update on goings on. And that's exactly what I intend to do right now.

Returning to the band comp, we are indeed in the semi's which take place tomorrow. We went along to the first semi and discovered just how tight the competition is. The Laurels and The Jezabels made it through and if we're fortunate enough to make it through to the finals it will be incredibly tough. Still, we're enjoying the challenge and it's forcing us to perform to our best which can never hurt. We'll be playing a filler free 20 minute set, so make sure you're there by 6.30 for all the action.

In life beyond the band comp (yes, there is one) we are gradually counting down the days until Craig heads to America. This will be forcing us on a 3 month break (unless we replace him with an iPod). So until then (mid November) we will trying to fit in as much as possible. This includes a gig with The Lovetones and Belles Will Ring, which come to think of it, is a mere 2 weeks away. Should be great.

It's also looking our dream of going to Melbourne may just happen after all. We're hoping to head down with our best pals Cloud Control and are wetting our proverbial pants in anticipation. If there's any Melbournites out there, we may see you soon. We might also be sleeping on your floor so clear a space.

On top of this, we'll probably be adding a few gigs along the way (keep your eyes peeled for a VERY big Sydney band night which we may be involved with), plus if all goes to plan, we should have a couple more demos to shove in your face. SO STAY TUNED. Until then, we'll keep on doing what we supposedly do best: making music and neglecting our blog. See ya round. Say hello!

We're through to the semi-finals

Dope.

Band Comp Bonanza

Hey peoples. Just reminding you that this Friday is our band comp quarter finals at Sydney Uni and we’d love it you would come along. It’s sure to be a bucket full of fun. We’re up against some pretty hefty competition so if we can get past this stage, it’ll be terrific. Fantastic even. One band literally has an entire army corps of myspace friends at their command. But I don’t have to venture into clichés for you to know that numbers aren’t what matter. So come along, do your part, help us cross the line! If you’ve been considering it in the back of your mind, let me make your decision easy by saying, come. Yes, I mean YOU. It’s uni price beer and finishes early so you can then head on to bigger and better things. It’s the perfect appetiser for a dirty night in the cross.

When: Friday, 6pm
Where: Manning Bar, Sydney Uni

See you there,

The Small Hours

Tour Blog

Recently we stepped outside our home territory and ventured on a mini tour of sorts. Here is but a short summary of some of the events that unfolded. It will probably make sense only to ourselves, but that pretty much covers everyone who reads this blog, so shouldn't matter.

DAY 1 - SYDNEY / Hopetoun Hotel

• We packed the car, complete with our mobile CD selling stand (Sandler)
• Arrived at Harrison's house in Randwick and frantically put our brand new demo cds into cases, ready for consumption
• Played some music. Good fun.
• Could barely watch the other bands due to the crowd (a good thing)
• Broke the 100 person mark despite sizeable competition
• Headed off to the Dappled farewell party in Kings Cross
• Mocked The Seabellies for driving back to Newcastle
• Managed to spend the night's entire earnings on overpriced beer and generousity
• Danced and sung like idiots to old Jebediah tracks
• Taxied back to Harrison's place
• Craig had to sleep in the car because we'd all gone to sleep and locked him out
• Craig then locked his keys in the car
• NRMA came to the rescue thanks to Peter's membership with 3 days left on it
• Had a few hours sleep

DAY 2 - WOLLONGONG / Oxford Tavern

• Feeling a bit worse for wear, we set sail and headed for Wollongong
• Dropped our demo off at fbi
• Battled our way through traffic caused by some kid getting himself killed
• Discovered the joys of Peelander Z which would then become the soundtrack of the journey (listen hard to the lyrics for maximum enjoyment)
• Spent the last 20 minutes of the drive yelling to Frenzal Rhomb
• Arrived in Wollongong and found it bizarrely deserted
• Checked into our hotel rooms, kindly donated by Col Smithers
• Ate dinner at The Oxford where Mark received a 10 year old piece of tandoori chicken, clearly retrieved from the deepest depths of their freezer
• Our plan to battle the Seabellies to the death in bowling never eventuated
• Played in front of a decent crowd, including many drunken locals
• Funnest show we've ever played
• Dirty old man came to the front and started dancing. We loved it.
• Got to watch both Bird Automatic and The Seabellies. Highly entertaining
• Mocked the Seabellies for driving home to Newcastle
• Went to a house party somewhere with Bird Automatic
• Ate toobs, buuurgeeeeeer rings, sprite and other value-added assortments
• Talked some rubbish
• Put on Peelander Z and screamed the lyrics at passed out inhabitants
• Got a taxi home
• Harrison demonstrated excellent skill at crab walking
• Had a few hours sleep

DAY 3 - SYDNEY / Silent Riot

• By now our bodies were really beginning to suffer but we ploughed on
• Peter had left his phone in the taxi however we managed to track it down
• Headed to the lighthouse like good Wollongong tourists to kill some time
• After a good Peelander Z session and a laugh at some foreigners posing in suspicious formations, we hit the road and headed back to Sydney
• Craig had a microsleep and almost killed us
• Met Helena who was running the event and had the coolest accent ever
• Ate an overpriced dinner which didn't impress Peter who was on finance duty
• Didn't get to play until the ridiculous time of 11:45 - by far our latest
• Got to play after some great bands like Cloud Control which was also fun
• John Steele Singers almost parked us in but Craig managed to manoeuvre us out
• Finally got to go home to our own beds
• Got a few hours sleep

DAY 4 - NEWCASTLE / Cambridge Hotel

• A week may or may not have passed but that is irrelevant
• The car was packed up again and we headed to our second exotic location
• Amy joined the team and Mark got relegated to the middle seat
• Stopped over at McDonald's where Peter paid $8 just so he could get a heart foundation tick. Even the Italian dressing didn't make it worthwhile
• Drive took forever because Craig obeys the law
• Finally arrived at Newcastle and checked into our hotel, again courtesy of Col Smithers
• Investigated our podlike bathrooms which looked ready for takeoff
• Had a laugh at the above sign as not only were Mercy Arms not playing, but the local Seabellies didn't even make it on
• Acquired some shopping trolleys to cart our gear around
• Had a ride in the belliemobile and were disappointed to discover that it isn't magical at all
• Charmed the incoming audience whilst we ran the door
• Got harassed by some crazy local woman who was dirty dancing to the first band
• Were then ambushed by her friend who grabbed the mic and launched into a drunken rendition of Wild Thing. Mark didn't help the situation by sheepishly playing the riff in the background
• Played another enjoyable set that included a massive 11 songs
• Got our first ever request from some girl who screamed at us to play 'Ark' and then proceeding to act out the lyrics. She is officially our favourite fan
• Watched the Seabellies whilst singing along, jeering and pumping fists during the 'trumpet moment'
• Especially loved the Capoeira drumming thing they've got going
• Met a random guy who drove our gear back to the car
• Set off to El Dorado, the infamous house of the Seabellies
• Waited half an hour for a taxi whilst kicking a ball back and forth across the road
• Gave up and decided to run, case of beer in hand
• Through an ingenious system of offloading it to the next person on the burst and later acquiring another shopping trolley, we arrived in record time
• Talked some rubbish with Kyle and Eddie
• Played a short lived game of cricket
• Fast Eddie busted out an extremely entertaining rug dance
• Trent didn't seem too impressed when we put their own cd on to liven things up
• Called the taxi service at 4.30 but only managed to annoy the operator by repeatedly forgetting where we were and why we were ringing
• Decided to run home or in Peter's case, ride the trolley
• After a minute or so, the novelty wore off and we walked the rest of the way
• Had a few hours sleep
• Woke to discover Peter's phone lost again
• Later found it in the shopping trolley, in a side street, along with $15
• Found the best shop ever for lunch - A bakery where all food was a dollar
• Harrison got three pies for the sake of it
• Headed home, back to our boring old lives

As you can see, it was a pretty uneventful few days. Thanks to all the bands we played with and people who came. We had great fun. See ya round!

D Day(s)

Evening peoples! Things are about get very crazy for The Small Hours. We’ve been working day and night to put together a demo CD and by some miracle it’s looking like we may actually have it ready for our upcoming shows. We’re calling it ‘pieces’ and it will be very special indeed. There’ll only be 100 copies available and each comes in a unique, hand made case. Yes, we are lunatics. If you want one, you’ll have to come to one of shows. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem, considering we’re playing so many!

Things kick of on Thursday (tomorrow) at The Hopetoun when we team up with two excellent bands in Bird Automatic and The Seabellies. It’s exciting stuff and should be a great night. If you wanna catch us, make sure you’re there by 8.30.

The following night, we take the show to Wollongong for some Friday night madness. It’s free and it’s Wollongong. We’ll leave it to your imagination to fill in the rest.

Providing we’re still alive, we’ll be heading back to Sydney for a third night in a row on Saturday as we play the Silent Riot mini festival at The Abercrombie Hotel. It’s 5 bands for $5 so should keep even the most economically minded music lovers happy. It’s also for charity so you’d have to be evil not to come. We play at 11 so for once you don’t have to come out while the sun’s still up. Yay!

Update

The blog's been a bit dead lately, but we swear we've busy. That's not much of an excuse, but we promise we'll try harder. Here's a quick rundown of what's been happening and what's to come:

We're looking to finally record some of our newer songs as well as redo some oldies. They'll be put out on a free sampler cd and hopefully will be ready for our July shows. It will have some ridiculously cool artwork and be released in very limited supply. Get excited.

We've picked up a couple of extra gigs meaning July will be even more massive than it was already going to be. On the 7th we'll be at The Abercrombie in some sort of festival. We actually don't know too much about it yet, but you can head here for details. We'll also be playing a show with Soft Tigers on the 24th which is guarenteed to be a heap of fun.

In other news, Mercy Arms have been added to our Newcastle gig, making it even bigger. It would also seem like our band comp quarter final has been moved to the following Friday, on August 3rd, but we'll clarify that soon.

We also shot a few band photos which you may see popping up here or there. They were done in dirty old Granville in the freezing cold, but actually turned out alright. We're using them for some posters which we're hoping to put around the place. Look out for them!

We'll have more details as they come in. Stay tuned.

Sound Emissions

For those FBI listeners out there (and that should be all of you), you may have heard about a promo disc they're giving away to supporters called Sound Emissions. It's full of great Sydney bands including Dappled Cities, Belles Will Ring and, lucky us, The Small Hours!

The only way you can get your hands on this CD is by signing up to become a supporter, so you better get your act together. You also go into the running for all sorts of massive prizes, but these all pale in comparison to the coolness of this CD. You have until June 22 to cash in, so don't miss out!

Many thanks to FBI!

Videos From Spectrum

Hello Internet,

Wasn't Saturday a great night. Our entire set was video'd courtesy of Brad and tonnes of pictures taken by various people including Jola. If anyone else has any pictures feel free to contact us. So the purpose of this blog is to say thanks for coming along to our show and offer you the kind reward of having you request what videos you'd like to see from the show.

The setlist was:

Alfred
Gone Is The Way
Overlays & Underlays
Allison
Lies
Arks
Another Girl
As Good As Graveyard
Episode 2

So just comment the names of the songs you'd like to see and i'll post a few later this week.

Mark.

New Video Edit

Here is a new edit of the annadale footage. All the decent bits have been salvaged and the dodgy bits swept under the rug. It's also much smaller than the other one so should load much quicker:

Length: 10 minutes

Tracks

1. Gone Is The Way
2. Lies
3. Easy Once You Know
4. Overlays & Underlays
5. As Good As Graveyard
6. Arks

This is Small Hours for on the go. A 30 minutes squished down into 10. The microphone wasn't quite prepared for our explosive sound but the end result is still half decent. Did I mention fish eye lense? Thanks again to Chris for filming!

Spectrum Shenanigans

The gig at Spectrum last night went good by all accounts. It was great to finally play on a night when ordinary people leave their house. Nothing like reaching out to that mainstream audience. Next stop, The O.C. Thanks to everyone who came, the crowd was plentiful which is always good.

Everything seemed to go according to plan, which is a miracle, considering how temperamental the little keyboard can be (it gets upset and turns itself off if you don't treat it just right). We tried a spacey version of Another Girl, which was good fun, but expect to see it evolve even further as time progresses. It will make Darwin himself proud.

Cloud Control were great as always. We even managed to score ourselves a couple of ultra exclusive Cloud Control bags, so look out for us walking around, oozing indie cred. Hopefully we get to play with those guys again some time in the (near) future. Look out for some photos (and maybe videos!) from the night, coming soon

Other than that, I guess we'll see you at the Hopetoun on the 13th! Or 14th.....sometime around then...

Saturday Night Entertainment

If anyone out there is wondering what to do with their staurday night, wonder no more. The Small Hours are playing at Spectrum and it's the ONLY respectable way to pass your time. We hardly know what to do with ourselves. Not only is it a WEEKEND, but it's also at a DECENT VENUE. That's enough capital letters to blow anybody away. Don't just bring yourself. Bring every human being within reach. The night surely promises to be huge.

Headlining the night are the fantastic Cloud Control who will no doubt have the entire audience swooning in unison. Also playing on the night are Hand Me My Jetpack, who look VERY exciting. But not only do you get treated to three bands, your entry entitles you to all the Spectrum after-party benfits. In other words, you get to get pissed and dance like idiots downstairs. We can hardly wait.

Doors open 8 but make sure you're there before 8.30 so you don't miss a minute of our set. For those who do make it early, we have a special treat for you. You get to hear our brand new composition which we have practised for a grand total of 30 minutes. Should be great! See you there!

Hello children,

Victory was achieved in the first round of the USU band comp. We progressed through to the next stage along with Old Kent Road and Middlesea. Here's some photos from the night. Enjoy.

The Slush Begins

Welcome to Moral Slush!

It's a little bare at the moment and we're still working out the format, but hopefully we'll be pumping out useless information by the bucketload in no time.....

Plank Walked

Well the plank was walked and we managed to avoid being devoured by the circling sharks. In other words for those who came along last night to the slightly awkward Monday night setting for the USU band comp or those who just have a general interest as to how things went, we managed to progress through to the quarter finals! Hurrah!

Stay tuned for the date we'll be playing the next round, but for now check out our upcoming shows including this saturday at Spectrum it's our first time there and the first time in an age that we've had the pleasure of playing a weekend night.

There'll be a more detailed blog of last nights happenings soon and some live recordings.

Who'll be Manning the bar?

Hello people,

Hope you're all enjoying our much more frequent blog posts of late. We're extremely happy to be stimulating your mind on a more regular basis. Another reminder about our show this Monday at Manning Bar at Sydney Uni. It's FREE entry and we are playing as part of the Sydney Uni Band Comp. All kicks off from six, we'd love your support so if you're a student, stick around after your lecture or if you're lucky enough to have escaped the books, maybe you'd just like to come along and pretend you're an intellectual. HA!

Take note of the new flyers on our page promoting some of our upcoming shows, pencil them in. Below you'll find lyrics to our track "As Good As Graveyard" recently added to Fbi 94.5Fm

Live Video

Many thanks to Chris "The Blitz" "Wattsy" Watts for putting this together, and for having a fish eye lens. If only we could incorporate some kind of skateboard routine into our set we could be the complete package. 30 minutes of set compressed into one 10 minute video, it's like you were at the gig, except for only a 3rd of the time. Like only eating the chocolate part of a tub of neapolitan ice cream and then punting the rest into the roof.

In other news, Manning Bar band comp next monday night from 6:30 pm, if you're stuck at uni late with nothing to do head on down, and even if you're not, come anyway, because if we win we'll use the money to record an ep. Or buy a goat farm on elizabeth drive. We haven't decided yet. Cast your votes now. Then more shows etc. But you'll know about that soon. Or at least be told. Keep Sweet

Tub Punt of the Week....

tub punt of the week..

…awarded to peter watts, of small hours fame. Who, as it happens, are progressing delightfully with their ever more determined plight to enter the realm of reality. The near future vantage points include this coming Tuesday night (May 22nd) at the Sandringham hotel alongside a tasty serving of dirty arrows. Before moving along the road to the next point of order on Monday (May 28th) at Manning Bar, where the small hours intend on delivering four rump steaks with pumpkin soup and a large loaf of sour dough, as they (that is we) aim at maintaining a position in the assumed next stage of the Sydney University Band Comp.

In new news, we have also endeavoured to flog ourselves across June with shows now announced supporting Cloud Control at Spectrum on June 2nd and also playing with Pang as they launch their EP on the THIRTEENTH?? at the Hopetoun Hotel.

In the upcoming show some cult classics may be revisited. Also the unveiling of a new track due for road testing.. (a proper unveiling).. so be sure to give it a proper welcome.

we are also available as party entertainers. punting not only vanilla but also chocolate, strawberry, low fat and home brand tubs.

This tasty sandwich posted by the small hours.

Band Comp + More = Blog Post

Believe it or not, but we forked out the $50 needed to enter ourselves in the University of Sydney Band Comp. With three quarters of us attending there, and us being band, we figured it would be appropriate. Our first heat takes place at Manning Bar on May 28 (Monday, Week 12) and it would be great if everyone could come along. First band starts at 6.30 and the order is a mystery so make sure you get there early. 10% of our score actually comes from audience response so don't forget to bring your whistles and scantily clad women.

For all you Sydney Uni people out there, you have no excuse not to come. Just hang around after your last class. We have an ACCESS card between us and as far we're concerned, that means 30 cent savings for everyone. For the outsiders, we will understand if you don't come, but we'll love you if you do. In fact, if you make the effort, just for us, let us know and we will each give you a high 5. Wait, make that 10! With all these incentives and more, you'd be crazy to miss out.

Keeping with the band comp theme, we'll also be playing a show with last year's deserving winners, Cloud Control, at Spectrum on June 2nd (yes, a Saturday for once!). After that, we'll be heading into hibernation. The rest of June will be spent rehearsing, writing and recording in preparation for our Seabellies mini-tour in July. If you haven't seen these guys yet, you really should because they are quite special indeed. Bird Automatic are also coming along for the ride and it promises to be an excellent time. Stay tuned for more info on this.

If you can't wait until the 28th to see us, we're also playing at the Sandringham Hotel on Tuesday May 22nd. It's a nice intimate venue and we'd love for you to come along.

Last but not least, word on the street is that we have a brand new song which we plan on unleashing at Manning. If you heard us play it at Ruby Rabbit, that doesn't count because this time all band members actually know what they're playing. It's yet another reason for you to come along.

SEE YOU SOON!!!

The Small Hours

The Small Hours on fbi

Imagine life without fbi. Actually don't, that's a very scary thought. These guys are quite literally the last hope for radio (Triple J has been overrun by the Black Parade). They're the only station that consitently plays good music and not just the stuff that gets shoved down our throats by record labels. If you haven't got on board, nows the time (94.5 or online).

Another great thing about fbi is that they give local Sydney bands a chance. That's where we come in. Arks was given a fair amount of air time and we couldn't be happier. Hopefully Graveyard will get a spin or two in the coming weeks so look out for it. Recently we were invited in for an interview on the Sydney music show, The Bridge, with Lee Tran Lam. A fun time was had, useless banter was made and a makeshift version of Arks was performed. If anyone's interested, we may see if we get a copy of the whole interview for download. In the meantime, here's that version of Arks. Thanks Lee and fbi for having us!

Arks (Live on The Bridge, FBI)

Considering that the keyboard parts were written while we were waiting in the foyer and the backing vocals were unleashed from opposite corners of the room, it didn't turn out too bad.

Graveyard Demo

As Good As Graveyard

This is our latest demo which we'll shoving in your faces. It was recorded at Raby Studios (aka Craig's garage) so don't expect any miracles. The important thing is that it's out there for the world to enjoy! We're slowly learning that for people to like us, we actually need to give them something to listen to (or is it the other way round?). With this in mind, expect to see many more demos come your way very soon.

UPDATE: Here's some lyrics for your consumption...

It's a leaf in my story,
And I wanna go and find out.
Is Patrice as good as graveyard?
There is no doubt.

Turn on the machine,
And it'll show you a scene of my life.
Is Zenith as good as graveyard?
There is no doubt

By me
By me

The vital signs gone away
The vital signs gone
The creek is calling out your name
The creek is calling

I see people walking round,
They walk on all fours, might as well be underground.
And i'm not just saying this,
They might as well be, making me.

By me
By me

The vital signs gone away
The vital signs gone
The creek is calling out your name
The creek is calling
