Hi Scum
I am now back home in Melbourne and slowly getting back to music after a few successful shows in Perth last year with the likes of Angry Teenagers Who Want To Kill People, Abe Sada, Dieter Trouble Business and The Last Ninja. Also bringing over to Perth Cambion, Jaek and Ebola Disco from Melbourne and Maruosa and aaaaaaaaa aka Volzoy from Japan among others. Not to mention a cancelled double booked show at The Rosemount (thanks to The Rosemount for that one), a few of the usual broken promises and fuckarounds and not to forget a young punk soundguy who tried to cut everyone'set down to 10-15 minutes because he "wasn't hanging around all night listening to this shit" and even tried cutting our volume a few times claiming "it's a new sound desk and does that sometimes".
yes indeed. It was nice to see that some things have improved in Perth but some sadly remain the same.
Thanks to everyone who did help me out with shows including Simon Fboy, The Last Ninja, Tomas Ford, Scott Brown, Cat Hope, Laith and Roy at Chainsaw Horror, Wayne Smith at The Castle, Malcolm Kabaret Dada and all the kids at the Maruosa/aaaaaa aka Volzoy instore. Thanks everyone!
So now I'm back home in Melbourne and already there's a few things in the works. There WILL be some new releases this year and once I find a new place and get settled in - I'll be focusing on some loooooong overdue releases for Mandark, Noistruct and a new collaboration with Ben Taylor (Ebola Disco/Bletchley Girls/Sssssunnnglassss).
I am also working on a score for a WA horror film due to start filming this year. This will feature a few Noistruct and Mandark tracks including a few new tracks....more on that soon.
GIGS:
There's also a Mandark show coming up at Horse Bazaar in the CBD on Thursday March 12th where I'll be testing some new stuff for the film. "Ether" the ambient/experimental noise night Illegal Frequencies put on in 2007 will also be returning this year. A reunion of Analogue Seaotter this month catching up with each other for the first time in 9 years has also resulted in planning a new night co organised by former Seaotter and Trash Ivory screecher Miss Kitty Rock which will see her return (if briefly) to her electronic/noise side...more on that soon.
"Illegal Frequencies" radio graveyard show is currently on hiatus at RRRfm while I collect some new records and releases and transport my collection back from WA. "Brass Knuckles" Graveyard radio show with Grandmaster Vicious is back on RRRfm though with the next show on Wednesday Morning 11th February.
BRASS KNUCKLES Dj Grandmaster Vicious, Boris Otterdam & Dj Meow Kitty Tuesday 27th / Wednesday 28th January 2009 - mostly Hip Hop special.
Ocean was our special guest for the second week in a row and the hot weather and her suggestion influenced us to make it something of a hip hop special. Steve still wanted to play a few new releases so the pattern is broken here and there.

There's been some big changes for Boris personally and professionally in 2009 and will see some big things indeed. Those who think I'm susceptible to bullying, intimidation or gossip or will quietly go away are about to get a big fucking shock. The motherfucking Boris is back!
