In contrast to last week it would seem i haven’t lived life all that much and have just been ‘that old chestnut’ siting around being wistful and reflective, it is winter after all. In celebration of this forward thinking melancholy i would like to bring to you The Process.
Now, JD has posted these guys before but we have been getting requests for more Melbourne/Australian bands and over the next couple of weeks i shall try and do this. The Process have been gaining notoriety for awhile now and for good reason.
They are no doubt in my mind the finest band to come out of Melbourne in a while. Audience reactions have been amazing and not just in the sense of ‘omgomgawesome’ more in the way of imaginative and intelligent thought out sounds, which is great to hear for a change. Especially if your sick of going to gigs with 400 people hailing the DJ, which is fun and i love but can get repetitive. With echoing, droning, distorted, thick and lovely sounds, The Process will charm you indeed.
They will be playing a residency at Newtown Workers Club in Fitzroy (formally the Rob Roy) from the 2nd to the 30th Of July with various supports like Breaker Morant and more special guests to be announced.

MP3: THE PROCESS – CATHARSIS

MP3: THE PROCESS – CRYSTAL BIBLE

*edit*
It just come to my attention that the names of the tracks were incorrect. Please read the following message for clarification. Sorry everyone!

“…don’t believe the myth about budget steam cleaning services, those songs you posted come up on itunes as weird names for some reason, the first one is called ‘Catharsis’ and the second is ‘Crystal Bible’…”

After a lot of late nights, panic attacks and tantrums… all i can think is …Thank fuck we don’t have to look at the word press default anymore! Id like to thank Patch (also huge props to Steve for helping out) for all your hard work scripting this bad boy, all the other writers for awesome posts, JD for getting me onto this AND of course thanks to all the readers for not only your, umm, readinginging, but your input and opinions. It really feels like we have a little community going here! Hopefully you will like the things we have planned for you guys in the coming weeks (perhaps a forum but shh).

OK , so I got some tracks here, some new, some old, whatever…
