Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1980 album from the No Wave/Post Punk band including two bonus tracks. Social Climbers made sounds that were of their environs yet remarkably unique, leaving an indelible stamp on the scene while somehow managing to slither undetected out of all the history books. A downtown New York art band as much as any other, Social Climbers also claimed Midwestern roots and actual musicianship that many of their contemporaries lacked, and in trade dismissed and essentially protested the snotty pretensions that drove many others within the scene. Social Climbers are an absolute post-punk blueprint: fat bass (often two), guitar, drum machine, feverish vocals, and organ. Their lone, self-titled album is agitated and impossibly wild, yet danceable and composed.

$29.99 (AUD) | Holocaust In Your Head / In It For Life $29.99 (AUD) | Eddy Current Suppression Ring (Vinyl) $26.99 (AUD) | $22.99 (AUD) It's been over two years since Melbourne musician NED COLLETTE relocated to Berlin. Since relocating, Collette has toured throughout Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and the UK and has shared stages with the likes of KURT VILE, NINA NASTASIA, DAMIEN JURADO and TU FAWNING. Collette has also cultivated a large and enthusiastic audience for his fortnightly shows at Berlin club Valentin Stuberl. Written mostly during Collette's first year in Berlin, '2' explores themes of distance and restarting, taking up arms against the neighbours, fantasies of death and decline after the party, butterflies, salad, altering cities and forgotten home. While this is the second Wirewalker record, the title 2 also refers to the fact that the album is essentially a collaboration between Collette and Joe Talia, with regular Wirewalker member Ben Bourke taking time off to be with his young family in Melbourne. Collette plays mostly Spanish guitar on 2 and is joined by various guest vocalis |
