Ladies and Gents, boys and girls, people of Melbourne! Round up the masses for a superb night of musical intrigue, delectable ditties and sheer swinging fun that is bound to have you grooving like some sort of dysfunctional dashboard hula doll.

Sex on Toast have a gig coming up at The Evelyn, May 27th and I defy you to go and not enjoy the living bejesus out of it. Seriously, these are some really talented guys, and it will certainly be an evening well spent.

The official word:

Sex on Toast
The Clintonicas (ex-Bärhugs, USA, Mr. B)
Fabio Umberto (Italy)

The illustrious gents in Sex on Toast cordially invite you to an evening of pleasure and finery, on Thursday 27th of May at The Evelyn. Joining them is Fabio Umberto, all the way from Rimini, Italy. This 1980’s Ital-disco legend will put pep in your step and the bump in your rump. After a considerable hiatus, California legends The Clintonica’s (ex-Bärhugs, USA, Mr. B) bring their signature brand of windswept dude-rock to Melbourne for one show only.

Sex on Toast requests your presence for this sensational night of pure entertainment. Doors at 9pm. $7 entry.

Now, I’m not usually one to speculate but The Clintonicas?! Ahem, “Bärhugs“, “Mr B.”… is this ringing bells with anyone? For those who maybe aren’t aware of the musical ties here, Sex on Toast‘s guitarist, one Angus Leslie and the man behind the keys, Mr Olaf  Scott, feature in another of stubbadub’s much loved bands: Umlaut.

I’m wondering what the chef’s got cooking here. As I’m a west coast lady and dear Gronk is a Sydney boy, I need you stubbers to get down there and find out what the hell is going on.

I want full reports! A show not to be missed.

America’s Funny Man Neeeeeeiiiiil Hamburger will be supporting Faith No More alongside the Eagles of Death Metal, at the Sydney and Melbourne side shows on Feb 22, and 25th.

The comb-over sporting, tux wearing comedian played by Gregg Turkington, last spat humour (…literally) into the hungry faces of Patton fans at All Tomorrows Parties’ Nightmare Before Christmas,  2008.

With the FNM dates listed on his myspace, he will also be playing his own gig at the Toff in Town, Melbourne on Feb 23 with none other than Dr El Suavo. Get tickets for that night of magic, mayhem, hilarity and insult from moshtix.

Neil Hamburger and FNM… Australia, you’ve been warned!

Rumours are abound of the possibility of a second Faith No More “sidewave” solo show in Melbourne. If this eventuates it is great news for all the fans that missed out on tickets to the first show. Will there be a 2nd Hordern show in Sydney?

Japanese noiseys Melt Banana will be heading to Australia in October but unfortunately will be only playing one show, at the Melbourne International Arts Festival. They play The Forum as part of Beck’s Rumpus Room on the 10th of October. Tickets are $15. More info

Pity they couldn’t add a few extra cities and make a tour of it while they were here!
