Anyone floating around Sydney or Newcastle? I'll have some time to kill in SYD on Feb 25, 26 and 27. + heading up to Newcastle for the Holy Locust/Mama's Broke show on the 27th. Let's beer...or hang our or whatever.

A couple of weeks ago I headed up to Mt. Glorious with a mate and our furry bud. We've been up there exploring a hell of a lot of times and found some great spots, but this was the best. Our general plan is to find somewhere to park where the scrub isn't too thick and the drop isn't too steep...

To anyone else out there in Brisbane, Australia... My rad little crew Pig City Folk Punk are getting out of the parks and into the pub - a few of us are taking over Sabotage in Fortitude Valley on Sunday Feb 11 from 3:30pm. Entry is free, beers aren't crazy pricey and the music'll be good...

Over the past year or two a like minded mate and I have have seemingly (accidentally) created a little scene within a scene here in Pig City (Brisbane, Australia). After a few two many drinks and billies the other night (pic below) we got talking and realised the beautiful group of people we'd...

Something something folk punk. After hearing about a (confirmed) rape in our scene here a little while ago at a party house known as the Church I wrote this - Church of Rape. The incident was forgiven by the person running the house and the rapist got away with it...but seems to know not to...

Hey lovely people, I'm a few weeks out from applying for a two-year Canadian "working holiday" visa, there's a lot of reasons I need a massive change in my life and I've decided up-rooting and heading overseas is the way to go. I've been working my arse off and saving everything I can to make...

Me and a mate decided to try and start a little folk punk collective in Brisbane, Australia. It's mainly drinking, sharing songs and jamming (on originals and covers)....essentially we get park drunk in this shitty town with acoustic guitars and noise happens. The vid is on my shitty go-pro...

Banter in the Garage 5: The Bantpocalypse Massive DIY house show just south of the river in Brisbane, Australia today if anyone's around here. 11am until when they shut us down (which hopefully won't happen, because I'm playing last). Punk, grunge, psychedelic, folk and blues bands playing...

Any of you lovely creature from or around the Northern Rivers in NSW? I need a quick little escape from homebase in Brisbane and am thinking of heading down for a few days soon (maybe next week 13th-16th July). Either camping, or given the weather, finding a cheap hostel and just vegging out...

For whatever reason (sleep deprived, no coffee, a little baked, just another messy mind?) the description of this forum got me overthinking too much of my life...not that that's uncommon. "Why do they live the way they do?" I ask myself why. Why can't I be satisfied with staying in one play...

Yo, Meet up for Pig City Folk Punk (Brisbane, Australia) happening on July 1 at People's Park in West End. We'll be jammin' from around 2pm! Bring acoustic guitars, banjos, harmonicas, drums, booze (FYR - the law is always murky with drinking in parks/where you can drink in public - so know...

While I'm yet to find any others on here from or travelling thorough Brisbane, Australia I thought I'd share this regardless (just in case!). This Friday (14/04) is a public holiday, so me and my mate Chris (from rad folk punk act Hang) think that calls for acoustic crusty park jams! Come...

Hearing about some fellow Aussie's holidaying in America using that phrase to fuck with locals have me a good giggle (hey, it's a national pastime to take the piss out of ourselves and see what we can get away with saying!). It reminded me of this photo, just to confirm cliches. Had this...

Ever been stuck in the middle of nowhere in a country where very few speak the same language as you? At the end of 2015 I ended up in Africa, I'd always wanted to go pretty well anywhere on that continent and found an affordable way of getting there. It was at the end of a long trip that took...

Bae Karl-Perry, it's coming up to a year since you left this world. All your mates here miss you, love ya and will never forget you...you were there for our introduction to so much of the world we know today - from dodgy gigs to silly goth clubs. There is some strange connection made with...

Just thought I'd share a few photos from my wanderings around Mt Tibrogargan (Glasshouse Mountains, Queensland, Australia) back around 2014 with my mate Peta and her pup Aura. It's a gorgeous place - a lot of disused 4x4 tracks, plenty of wildlife (birds, kangeroos, snakes etc) and some fairly...

Just wondering how people deal with snakes in the wild. I've encountered a fair few carpet pythons in the bushland near me, they're big (and scary looking) but fairly easy to handle. Personally, I have a little experience with larger, non-venomous snakes like these - as well as cute little...

Hey lovely people, I'm Benji. Born and raised in Sydney, Australia - moved up north to Brisbane when I was a teenager. I love travelling more than most things in life, I've seen a lot of Oz and a fair bit of the world (USA, UK, Thailand, Tanzania, Malaysia, Netherlands...wherever there's a...
