Well, I'm surprised by finding these two, Gareth Liddiard & Dan Kelly in the Aussie version of Rolling Stone magazine. I wish it was a couple pages longer, it's only a one and half page interview, it's cool, just short and two photos but the photos are great. I found the out-takes at the photographers own website plus a little writing about how and where they did the photos. I hope he doesn't mind me re-posting them here because they're great snaps, to go with my ever growing Gaz file here. Dan Boud is the name of the photographer and make sure you check out his website, it's wicked. One little thing I'd like to mention, Gaz which I don't know if you can tell by these photos but if you look at the magazine you see he's is wearing a "Operation Desert Storm, Made in the U.S.A., Tested in Iraq" T-shirt, he-ha.
On the cover is Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu who is quote "Australia's most important voice" which could be very true. I'm surprised too by him making it on the cover because most of the covers are things like Short Stack and other stuff, I wouldn't even consider them even music. I even don't think of Rolling Stone magazine as a music magazine really it's like a little better than gossip and tabloid magazines. The other features are recycled from the yank magazine which is always disappointing so I'm not going buy it again. This one would be the first since Nick Cave made it on the cover a few years ago.
Extra, Extra: Gareth Liddiard's first band Gutterville Splendour Six is reissuing their complete recording on double vinyl from the wicked Spanish label Bang Records. This band is like a some kind-off Perth supergroup or that is what they would be called now if they formed but this is before they did any other bands or any music at all. As well as Gaz it has Rui Pereira, The Drones original lead guitar, plus a few members of what would become The Kill Devil Hills and local legend Maurice Flavel who's just opened his own record store called Noise Pollution in Northbridge which I have to check out and would have to be the place to buy my copy of this.
P.S. I'm yet to finish off my really big post I said I was doing in the last post so maybe next time again, just this quick one in the meantime.
