2012 shows.

So The Flumes gig was the last one for this year. I'm sure some might be thinking, what happened with the Big Bedroom gallery? No? Well it's taking alot longer and is a lot harder to do than we originally thought. We will be spending the remainder of the year to focus on this and get it to a level that we're happy with. The end result will be worth it and we will keep you up to date.

We wish a BIG thank you to all the bands/musicians that have played and to all the people that have come and supported. It's been tiring yet fun and in all a great experience. Here's a list of everyone who has played at The Time Machine in the past 7 months. It has gone rediculously quick and we have seen some amazing Australian music ranging from heart-felt solo melodies to brutal sludge. Check 'em out, have a listen and all that.

Nikko @ The Time Machine. July 7th 2012.

Nikko were the first to play in the late afternoon and put on a powerful, dark and brooding performance of gloomy post-rock with a western twang. Their rhythm section is so ridiculously tight which gives the two guitarists freedom to create the soundtrack for some kind of horror-western. Definitely a band to watch out for. Click on the pics for a larger view.

Nikko was founded in Brisbane in 2005 by schoolyard friends Ryan Potter (vocals, guitar & lyrics), Jackson Briggs (guitar), Sam Whiting (bass) and Blair Westbrook (drums).

Nikko’s debut album, The Warm Side (2010, Tenzenmen/FUSE) is a collection of nine songs written between 2007 and 2009. The Warm Side has received much critical acclaim since its 2010 release. Brisbane's RAVE magazine gave the album 4 and 1/2 stars, saying that "For a debut album, it is pretty much as close to perfect as you can get”. The Warm Side also received highly positive reviews in Time Off, Scene and Mess+Noise, and single 'Wedding Song' was named RAVE’s Single of the Week. Following the largely underground success of The Warm Side and subsequent Australian tours, the band released a live recording entitled Live at The Tote in December 2010. The release received 4 and 1/2 stars in Time Off; reviewer Scott Thompson described it as demonstrating “One of the most accomplished bands in the genre at the height of their power”.

Nikko’s latest release, a double A-side single entitled About the Spirit/Smoke Alarms, features two new tracks taken from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, Gold & Red. These two tracks demonstrate a stylistic change in direction that showcases Ryan Potter’s skills as a songwriter and lyricist, along with the band’s collective ability to craft these skills into distinctive, compelling arrangements. About the Spirit/Smoke Alarms received Single of the Week in Time Off upon its release and is currently available as a limited edition 7” vinyl from nikko.bandcamp.com/

The band are currently gearing up for the release of their second full-length album, Gold & Red, due for release on the 3rd of July through Tenzenmen and nikko.bandcamp.com, and will support the album’s release with a national tour in September.

Melk @ The Time Machine. July 7th 2012

Melk.

Fun as hell garage rock played by ridiculously nice people.

Melk is a creation that was dreamed up by Nicholas England and Siena Hart (ex-members of Brisbane Post-punk band 'The Submariners') while in a cafe in Amsterdam in November 2011; the word literally being Dutch for milk. The idea behind this project would be to strip back down to bare bones and re-affirm what rock n' roll was about. Shortly after arriving back in Brisbane they began collaborating and rehearsing with hardcore drummer - Conner O'Brien and punk guitarist, Sebastian Hew (Canibal) to create a sound that would be distinctly and unequivocally: Melk.

Canibal @ The Time Machine. July 7th 2012.

Canibal.

3 come out of the darkness when the night seemed over, picked up their instruments and started playing loud, fast, greasy punk that made me want to start fighting Daniel. Was great.

Nikko and Melk at the Time Machine.

Nikko and Melk are playing here Saturday, July 7th. Slight change of plans as Nikko will be playing first (around 3:30pm), so come early. They will be playing downstairs, the backgate (via Queen Street) will be open after 3pm.

Launch Day 2.

Day 2 was the big day where we had a bunch of Sunny Coast and Brisbane bands playing. Cat Grinder and Pussywhips pulled out last minute which sucked, but the show must go on eh? Every internal organ in my body felt like it was vomiting I was so nervous and stressed. We had never run a shop before let alone put on a show, and we wanting everything to run smoothly. But even though we had a few hiccups, it was a success. We couldn't have done it without the lovely people we have met over the past month.

Launch Day One.

After purchasing the business, an official opening launch was in order. So for a solid month and a half we cleaned/dusted/organised and pretty much worked ourselves to the bone. We decided to make an event out of it and get a heap of local musicians and up-and-coming bands to play at the store. Daniel Pitman, Daniel Stuth, Ded Beat, Craig Cole (with Catherine Vagg), Jake Horsey, Noel Sregdor and The Maryetta's played. Was pretty amazing.
