Blood Duster CALL IT A DAY
After 26 years Blood Duster call it a day announcing their last ever gig.
While
Blood Duster have had a great run of way too much fun with way too may
rad people we feel that the time is right to put an end to all this
before we really start doing things for the wrong reasons.
Don’t
get us wrong we love playing and when the band gets together for a show
we almost always have the most fun out of anyone in the room, but the
preparation to be able to play have that fun is now becoming too much.
Half assing it on our own terms has always been ok, half assing it simply for cash is something we don’t wan’t to do.
BLOOD
DUSTER have always prided ourselves on doing our shit on our own terms,
our own way, and fuck everyone else. We feel that we have stayed pretty
true to that over the 26 years and 4 months that we have been around.
Our
natural inclination as a band was to do the opposite of what people
wanted. Sometimes that lost us fans, but we could always look at
ourselves and know we did the right thing for all the wrong reasons.
Blood
Duster’s last show is at the Corner Hotel on 9 December with our
friends FUCK … I’M DEAD who are back from the dead for this show.
CONTAMINATED will bring some grime, Neck Grip will bring their chainsaw
death metal, REAPER will be keeping shit frosty , BLUNT SHOVEL will be
idiots, DEAD ROOT will something something and CHRIST CRUSHER will
crush. I got bored writing the other bands descriptions … Anyway it will
be a sick show with sick bands!
Please come down and get wasted
with us one last time! Tickets will be $6.66 and tickets or tickets at
the door will be $4.50. This is as cheap as we can make the show without
actually losing money … we could have done the cash in thing but it
feels a little crass considering how much fun we’ve had with all of you.
Also
As part of the winding down process we are compiling everything we can
think of into album called “all the remains”. This is designed to give
you access to all the rare/ never released/ B sides etc. in one easy to
find place. So that no one has to write to us asking for stuff… after
all we will be dead.
Download the entire thing from http://www.goatsound.com" rel="nofollow - www.goatsound.com if you are into downloads or we will have copies on vinyl on the night.
Official release date for the download and the vinyl versions is Friday 20 October.
Vinyl is available on Magnetic South.
