    It's stating the obvious to say The Psychotic Turnbuckles are the greatest rock and roll band that ever stepped into the ring: They came, they saw, they conquered and although many have tried, none have ever been able to stand in their way.

    And now the Pismo Beach’s Kings of the Combat Zone (and the Californian resort town's first Rock and Roll World Champions) are making more history, with the release of their first vinyl single in 32 years - on I-94 Bar Records.

    Sydney's Marrickville Bowling Club is the place to be on Saturday, September 5 for the world exclusive release of “Bad News Travels Fast” b/w “Infected (With You)”, the double A-sided 45rpm Single of The Year. Tickets are on sale here.

    In lurid green vinyl with full colour cover and a typically understated sticker insert, it will land on the merch desk like a pallet-load of phone books. Both tracks were originally recorded by other bands (“Bad News” by The Fuzztones and “Infected” by The Miracle Workers) but have been slammed to the canvas, worked over and given the Turnbuckles treatment.  

  • J5 single lgeThe latest release on our own I-94 Bar Records is on sale and it's a killer. It's the debut 45 for Sydney band Jupiter 5, "H-Bomb" b/w "Supersonic Hero" and it's unveiled at The MoshPit in Erskineville, Sydney, on Saturday night. 

    Pre-sales of the vinyl are here and come with an instant download of both A sides and a live cover of the Dictators' "Minnesota Strip", which is on the limited edition CD exclusively on sale at gigs.

    Jupiter 5 is a fuzz-laden garage-punk and hard rock five-piece with DNA extracted from Sheek the Shayk, Hitmen DTK, Thurston Howlers, 69BC and the Psychotic Turnbuckles. 

    They'll be supported by 50LgE,a bulldozing trio from the NSW Far North Coast making their Sydney debut and comprised of former members of the Psychotic Turnbucklesand The Eastern Dark.Doors open at 8pm or you can buy a pass to stream the show here.

    The Professors were formed in 1978 and were part of a booming inner Sydney scene that developed following the departure of temporary residents The Saints and homegrown Radio Birdman. They took their name from singer, Stephen Vineburg’s friendship with Chris Bailey of The Saints.

    Vineberg - was name-checked by their friend, Saints vocalist Chris Bailey, in the lyuics of "Know Your Product" ("Where's the Professor?/We need him now").

    The Professors were a prime example of the DIY ethos. They were largely self taught and established a successful music venue at the corner pub: The Royal Oak Hotel in Chippendale. They also played at most of the popular venues in Sydney including The Civic Hotel, the Rex Hotel, Paddington Town Hall and Henderson Road.
