Monday, 23 June 2008 - Common Thread on 1700 (SynTV)
We will be appearing on Channel 31's 1700 music TV show for an interview and the release of the Hit the Bottom video clip. Make sure you tune in if you can get channel 31 on tuesday 1st July at 5pm.
We're playing with Talk Show Host this saturday night at the Ding Dong lounge plus a heap of other shows coming up over the next 2 months, then Toms off on tour with Andrew Swift through September so the rest of us will be having a bit of a rest.
Monday, 26 May 2008 - 'How to Burn Everything' Pre-Release E.P.
We have decided to cut a few tracks from our upcoming album 'How to Burn Everything' to an E.P. and release it this friday as the 'Hit the Bottom E.P.' at our Barleycorn Hotel show with Andrew Swift, No Credit and Drive By Epic.
The gig kicks off at 9:00pm after the 2AM protest!
This is a limited edition release that will be available for a short time only. The E.P. is full DIY (recording, producing, mastering and printing) and will only be doing a small run initially. We will be giving away a few copies at the gig so get in quick to get one free otherwise you'll have to fork out a measly $5.
Purchase of the E.P. entitles you to one free** dinner date to a venue of your chosing with Common Thread front man Matty Bubbles, however, we suggest you don't take us up on this once in a life-time offer as Matty may drug himself in the hope that you will rape him.
Oh, and Tom is playing in 2 bands that night, so come give him shit before his head gets too big!
*conditions of entry:
winner of the competition has to pay for both their own and matts meals and drinks.

We've just picked up another gig on Friday 6th of July playing at the Espy with a bunch of ska dudes from NZ and some punks in QLD...
Hope to see you there!
There is some news floating about that Tassies Ballpoint will be heading to Melbourne sometime in August which we will be supporting at least one if not all of their gigs here...
Saturday, 10 May 2008 - 1 show added. 1 show cancelled.
JUST ANNOUNCED!

More details to be added in the next couple of days.

Monday, 5 May 2008 - Instrument tracks down
After about 72 hours of work, the instrument tracks to the 17 songs we recorded have been put in place. We don't screw around here at Common Thread H.Q. - we are releasing a full length album title 'How to Burn Everything', not one of those half-assed 8 track EP pieces of crap. The title is a bit of a pun/rip off from albums by Propaghandi & Face to Face - 'How to Clean Everything/Something' and 'How to Ruin Everything'.
With only the vocals, mixing and mastering to go, it won't be too long (hopefully) before we get this thing printed and out to everyone.

Friday, 2 May 2008 - First day of recording
The drums have been set up and I have no where to sleep. We've put matresses and couch cusions all over the room and it actually sounds pretty good.
We've laid down the drum tracks for about 9 songs but we may go back and redo some of them. iMMi has laid down some bass tracks and that's about all we can be fucked doing for today. We should finish the drum tracks for our set list tomorrow, then lay down some more bass tracks. Hopefully we have time to get some other tracks recorded before the end of the day, then we have all sunday to do the guitars and vocals.
Monday, 28 April 2008 - Recording this weekend!!! 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th of May
So I am packing up my bedroom to make way for Toms kit over the weekend. We're all going to be sleeping on the floor for a few days while we record.
We are definatly recording 14 tracks and possibly another 2 depending if I can convince the other guys to give them a go. We might throw them in as bonus tracks on our limited edition glow in the dark best of album which is to be released on vinyl with the cover printed on paper made from decaying human flesh, numbered and signed in the blood of each band member.
Then again, we might only record the 14 tracks.
