Kevin Devine @ The Annandale Tonight and more shows!

So, we have a few more shows booked, in the midst of our recording. Beginning TONIGHT at the Annandale with the USA's greatest hope Kevin Devine who takes a break from touring with Brand New to play a sideshow, we're on at 9 with Kevin on at 10pm you should REALLY get down there - you will wish you had when you are lying to people about being there in a years time.

Other dates in store are:

09/04 - Gerturdes Bar, Fitzroy VIC
10/04 - Revellers (the Laundry), Melbourne VIC w/ Drugs in Vegas
15/04 - Reval, Sydney NSW w/ The Retreat
25/04 - Low Bar, Surry Hills NSW(Acoustic Set)

Furthermore - the lovely people at Triple J (digging our noses in DEEP!) have been giving us a spin and we were wondering... you know... maybe you could vote for us on Super Request to let them know they are onto a good thing?

Do it! "Sailmaker - Momento" at http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/requests/

And as you know - we are currently recording 'Borrow' at Stu-Stu, so stay tuned for retarded videos of stupid men trapped in a warehouse for 24 hours, drunk on Irish Whisky.

SHOWS

I don't know what happened.

Seriously.

We haven't played many shows in the last 6 months, like absolutely fuck all. But here we are, now, booking tricks like a new girl on the corner... or so to speak. We have a plethora of shows over the next few months and Dylan is literally messaging me every couple of hours with show offers, ideas and football gossip.

So here are some dates to hawk our new Single 'Momento' from our upcoming EP 'Borrow':

Jan 26th, Triple J Hottest 100 party, Bald Faced Stag, Annandale
Jan 30th, Blood Sweat & Beers acoustic stage, Annandale Hotel w/ Lindsay Frenzal & more
Feb 5th, The Lass O'Gary Newcastle
Feb 6th, Spectrum Sydney w/ Young Heretics, Siren Lines & Shadows Make Flight
Feb 12th, Oxford Tavern Wollongong
Feb 18th, Next Melbourne
Feb 20th, Sandringham Hotel Newtown w/ Our Anatomy, Bayonets for Legs & Kel n Mel

This poster is pretty cool:



Quite a few there? Right? Well there should be more announced very soon so instead of bitching about us never playing, you'll be bitching that you have seen us too many times and will want rid of us for good and you'll stab us and burn us and leave us in a dumpster, with setlists stuffed in our mouths.

Or something.

See you at a SHOW!

ADELAIDE

So it's been a while.

We've been doing all sorts of fuck all.

Most notably - fuck all.

BUT - tonight Adelaide - we are all yours!

We are playing at the Jupiter Lead end of exams party at the Rocket Bar which I am guessing is on either Hindleigh or Rundle St...



Some of us are still a little shady from the ARIAs after party last night....The only time you will find a room full of people who are bigger wankers than us (well, Dylan and I).

So forgive us if we get drunk really quickly and vomit in the closest bin. Or similar.

Take Care people - we will be playing in your hood soon!

EP Launch Shows

EVERYBODY

We have our EP launches over the next two weeks in Sydney and Melbourne and we are pretty excited.

This picture below wont speak a thousand words but the words will speak the specific details of these gigs and how and where and it is all very exciting so forgive me for rambling:



Supports in Sydney are Siren Lines and Shadows Make Flight.
Melbourne we have Juan Alban from Epicure doing his solo thing and Callardore.

If you haven't heard our online chatter - our very good friend and talented young lady Kelly Banyai is accompanying us on our Sydney launch adding keys, percussion and her lovely voice into the mix. Regulars of Stu Stu have commented that we are now actually a good band and we sound about 10,000 times better with her so if you even remotley like us, do the maths! You will love this.

Melbourne, we are looking forward to seeing you.

What else... ummmm... yeah, all the regular links need clicking and adding and I think the video for Scout will be out soonish.

Oh yeah - this Friday tune into FBi 94.5 in Sydney to hear an acoustic song performed live by Joel and Dylan.

Righto

See you there

Heya,

Just a quick update to let you all know what's going on in the land of Sailmaker. Seems as though Sydney bands are going to be taking over Melbourne town this weekend. Not only will we be playing a couple of shows (Friday @ Ding Dong + Saturday @ WOW night club) but a whole bunch of our mates bands including Grand Fatal, LUNGS, The Optionals & Hell City Glamours have all got gigs in Melbs this weekend. Couple that with the fact that about half a Virgin Blue 737 worth of our mates are coming down for the shows it's shaping up as a pretty good weekend for all involved. Can any say after party???

In other news our brand new ep "BEG" will be in stores on the 24th of September and to celebrate the lovely people at KREW (word up Stokes) have decided to be nice enough to give one lucky person a clothing pack worth over $400! All you have to do to win this sweet prize is head to the Fist2Face website, www.fist2face.com.au and put in a pre order, simple as. We'll also be playing some launch shows in Sydney & Melbourne in October, fun times ahead.

Cheers,

Dylan

A very large update

Yes. A few things

Peeps we have a few shows coming up and an EP coming out and a bunch of other stuff so read up! Take notes...

This is important.

Yes, all that hibernation, procrastination... etc... etc... has resulted in us actually having shit to put out and a lot of stuff for us all to do.

Exciting times.

So first, our new EP 'Beg' is out 25th September.

A preview track is available on our myspace as per previous blog; Branches, has been getting a run on FBi and JJJ so if you like it and want to hear it when you are driving or hijacking the radio at work - put in a request!

To celebrate this whole new EP thing we are having a launch at Spectrum on 16th Oct with our good friends Animal Shapes and fellow inner city barfly's Siren Lines. I am almost scared of how much alcohol/ late 90's emo related hugging will occur here - there is only one way to find out though isn't there? That's right! Buy tickets here http://www.moshtix.com.au/event.aspx?id=30308, drink lots of beer and find one of the many lonely looking people in an American Football shirt.

As of right now if you go to www.begborrowandsteal.com.au you will find that you can join our mailing list, and not only will you get hot deals on viagra, vicodin and valium (the 3 noble V's, if you will) you will get our 3rd in the series- EP 'steal' for free!

And finally, as of next week, we are in Melbourne! Friday night 18th Sep we are playing at Ding Dong Lounge supporting the very attractive Dash & Will along with Ieyeone and the following night (sat 19th) at WOW - make sure you tell them Sailmaker sent you.
