April news...the record is COMPLETO!!!!!!!!

As of today our 3rd record is COMPLETO!!!!

Do you know what relief it is to say that?!!

First bit of news is that when our new album finally comes out it will be coming out via Roadrunner records. This is exciting news for us as it means...well it means our record will be coming out! but it also means that we are working with an label that is as excited about our music as we are. After working on this thing for so long by ourselves we are looking forward to the future with roadrunner and we cant wait to get this record out!.

Speaking of the record, we are aiming to get it out around July so not long now!

If you remember a while ago i mentioned the artwork is going to be a special little package! well we shot the 'us' element of the cover the other day with Angelo at the
Mathematics studio. I still stand by my previous claim in saying that its going to be awesome! (no pressure)

TWITTER IS THE NEW BLACK!

If you have a twitter account make sure you click here
and follow us.

Hopefully closer to the release date of the album we can let you in on some cool goings on and some exclusive offerings so FOLLOW twitter.com/atfmusic
Its actually rather addictive! i suggest following a dude called 'diplo' he is one amusing cat! Trent Reznor is surprisingly amusing too.

As for now we are just working on some b-sides and bonus tracks for all of you who are interested in them, there is a fairly varied bunch of track's so it should give you a little insight into the musical journey we have been on over the past few years

Ok thats it for now but hopefully really soon i can hit you with the record release dates and what's more...TOUR DATES!!!!

We made a film clip.

Hello world.

Things have been flat out!

We were supposed to finishing of some recording this week but our producer is stranded in Thailand...

So we shot a film clip instead.

You guessed it! its for 'Break me' We did it with an old friend of the band Daniel Daly and a new friend Darcy Carter. It was a full DIY affair and so far she's lookin pretty good!

I wont go into too much detail...ill just let you watch it when its out...but it was the most fun out of all our videos to shoot for me becasue it was essentially a big party!

Here are some pictures for you too check out

We have to thank a bunch of people for helping us make the video! it was all a bit last minute and hectic and without them it would have not happend!


First up Dan and Darcy for making it happen!

Casey and Reenie for all the wacked out make up! It was frighteningly good ha ha ha

Macbeth footwear for the invaluable wheels!

Lovells Lager for making a fine drop for social lubrication! it went down a treat and made the party scenes really...party?!

Pete for loaning us his shed so we could shoot a video.

Jayde for the last minute call up! Maybe a new career is in order?

Jayben for manning the Barby!

And Justin and all the extra's! if you didnt turn up...well our party would have looked a little flat! i know you had to wait around a while but we hope you had fun! thank you again!

oh i forgot one person....Timmy Rapp for taking method acting to new levels in his role as 'the bar fly'.


Thats about it for the time being.

Stay in touch.

P.s. I had a dream we booked a tour!

HUMID RAIN AND REMANICING.

We did an Interview (well two infact) at MMM radio in Sydney town a week or so back.
We also played a broken down version of 'Break me' in which we squeezed Andy into an ipod.
He complained about the room but it was just easier that way.

It's funny when i got the email saying we were doing an interview with 'ugly phil' i had a little chuckle to myself...he probably doesn't even remember it happening but some of the dumb shit you do as a kid you forget about...this just sparked my memory of some dumb teenage fun...

About 10 years ago Phil used to host music show late at night on channel ten, this was the days of the fax and home phone...no mobiles or internet for us coast kids...i cant even remember what the show was like but im sure we hated it at the time...

So the show is on late on a saturday night and they would encourage people to call or fax (!) in...i remember several occasions of ringing up and trying to get through, i dont think we ever did...There was one time where you could see the faxes come out live on air. So we took this as our chance and we started to draw caricatures of phil and his co-host (jackie o?) with block's o cheese - we must of thought the show was cheesy ha! anyway we started to send them through and out they come live on air...i remember him picking one up and he was well confused about the cheese...man it made our night...hell even our week! Its funny the shit you do as a kid for amusement.

We also managed to squeeze in a little interview with 'Chit Chat' of whom was a stirling chap!
Its funny as we used to share an a&r representative way back when.
Anyways he does planet rock and an Australian music show on Sunday evenings.
Was good to talk with soemone who has 'been there' so to speak (he used to play in machine gun fellatio)



I know its an easy target but...

I love it how the new Nickleback album has 'ELEVEN CLASSICS' on it...i would have thought in order for something to be judged classic it would have to be around a little bit more than a couple of weeks?
Even then calling nickleback classic at any point in the game...i dont know about that.
Dude really need's to get over his Hetfield complex.

Id like to think that Jaymz is thinking 'EET FUK KROGER!' ha ha.
