Since completion the Lighthouse Video has been creating a little buzz of its own, recently propelled by being announced as the Indie Video of The Week on Rage.

REGULAR JOHN SOUNDS HIT THE AIRWAVES	APRIL 2009
REGULAR JOHN 14th Most Added Track on Radio Nationally - and #3 on Alternative! Last week saw “Language” the 14th most added track on radio nationally and no. 3 on Alternative!! Developing their sound in the isolated rural town of Griffith NSW, Regular John arrived in Sydney at the height of dance rock trendiness and realised they were on their own with their high energy, chaotic punk rock. They used their differences to their advantage and quickly became a well respected and feared live act within the scene. Their dirty clothes, long hair and fuzzed out sounds became the antidote to the haircut orientated, disco rock that was plaguing Sydney at the time. Their debut e.p Marrickville 2204 was praised for it's raw sound and frantic pace and the band spent the next two years touring and playing shows with the likes of Dinosaur Jr, The Hard Ons, The Bronx, Helmet, The Scare, You Am I, British India and The Datsuns. They also made appearances at the Come Together, Soundwave, Homebake and Essential Festivals. 'Abattoir Noir', a preview track from their upcoming album has been on high rotation on Triple J for the last two months. Now Regular John are ready to unleash the first single from 'The Peaceful Atom Is A Bomb', their debut album, produced by Tim Powels (The Church). 'Language' is a punk rock anthem in the finest tradition conjuring the attitude of the Sex Pistols with the intelligence of The Clash and Dead Kennedys. Like all good rock music it sticks it's middle finger firmly to the man, taking a stab at the greed ridden corporate world and bullshitting politicians that have molested the future of our youth. With the current state of rock groups seemingly content to whinge about the woes of emo land, fly on white unicorns through retro rock world or ressurect what should have been left dead in the 80s Regular John are bravely doing their own thing, their own way. With no gimmicks, no bullshit and a refreshing honesty and passion that you know you haven't seen for a long, long time. To coincide with the release of 'Language' they will be embarking on a national tour in April with their good friends Children Collide. "Language" available on iTunes and special edition 7" Vinyl on March 23rd thru Difrnt Music. Distributed by Universal Music Check below for dates and venue details.
APRIL STUDIO NEWS	APRIL 2009

APRIL NEWS	APRIL 2009
Having generated much love from 'the church' tour and having had an amazing experience, ASTREETLIGHTSONG return to the stage with a gig on 24 April at Spectrum check out www.myspace.com/astreetlightsong for details. Having developed an online relationship with Polish animator 'Karolina Głusiec' ASTREETLIGHTSONG have been developing a video for Lighthouse, the current single off their 'The Ocean Floor' EP. The final result is looking promising. You can check out Karolina Głusiec, online at http://www.youtube.com/monikasilvs and http://www.flickr.com/photos/monikasilvs/.

PAINKILLER DECEMBER 22 - OXFORD ART FACTORY	DECEMBER 2008
Steve Kilbey's Painkiller returns to Oxford Art Factory December 22. Church luminaries Steve Kilbey and Tim Powles join forces with Ricky Maymi from Brian Jones Town Massacre, Scott Ryper from the Black Ryders and one of Australia’s esteemed mastering engineers William Bowden. What started off as a Steve Kilbey solo project with guest appearances from friends has ended up becoming a force all of it’s own. Painkiller has etched it’s way into our consciousness as its own enigma. This enigma can be viewed, explored and consumed December 22 at Oxford Art Factory. With a current Australian release working the market here and rumours of a US and digital release around the corner, Painkiller is finding its way to lovers of all worlds – church and otherwise. Steve Kilbey is an icon on the Australian music landscape, as an artist he has stayed true to his own inimitable style, he maintains his unique vision, his integrity and above all else his credibility. With genuine artistry being the significant theme to all of his endeavours, Steve Kilbey has etched a unique and rarified niche for himself he remains a true songwriter, singer, musician, visual artist and performing artist. Along with fellow church member Tim Powles, Steve has created ‘Painkiller’ a vast and immediate sound, lyrically intoxicating, musically loose and rocking, spacious and trippy. Painkiller swings from delicate psychedelic pop songs to radiotronic, space-rock monsters. It stretches song structures and warps your mind through swirling highs and long comedowns. A masterpiece - a fix for a world in pain. Bringing this sound to stage Painkiller draws together a unique group of musicians creating and expanding sonic canvasses that stretch the boundaries of reality and allows one to transcend into a new world… albeit for only a night. Painkiller – Steve, Tim, Ricky, Scott and William will be performing Monday December 22 at Oxford Art Factory. http://www.myspace.com/stevekilbey.
