INFINITY BROKE

Thanks to many of your good selves, we were able to raise the funds required to release our second album (to the tune of 250%) via our crowd funding campaign. The album will be called Before Before and will be available in April. Infinity Broke’s last show of the year happens this Friday Dec 12th in Sydney. This is our first local show in six months and sadly our last with Jared. So it’ll be a special one so we’d love to see you there.

Dear kindred spirits of the universe,

Here’s bunch of news to entertain you. Firstly we finally have some quality live footage of Infinity Broke playing at the Binic Folk Blues Festival from back in August which Mess and Noise have premiered today – Gallows Queue 

We also have the last Infinity Broke show of the year looming. We are very sad to say that it will be the last show for the foreseeable future with Jared on drums. He’s studying like a demon and is too under the pump to play with us next year. He’s one of the best drummers I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with and a top fella to boot so see him and Scott do their tandem throb. It’ll be emotional.

Our Pozible campaign has given Infinity Broke’s collective self-esteem a nice boost.

THE TALL GRASS

Peter Fenton of Crow infamy and myself have been collaborating for a while, we have a goal of recording an album together once we have enough material. Many long-term listeners will remember the glory days when Crow and Bluebottle Kiss walked side by side on this earth so it may interest some of you. We’re certainly enjoying it. We now have a name for the project: The Tall Grass. We also have a fairly basic Facebook site here https://www.facebook.com/TheTallGrassMusic

I will be celebrating 20 years of artistic bloody mindedness with a one off solo trawl, featuring songs from every album I’ve had the pleasure of recording. This being because the first Bluebottle Kiss album Higher up the Firetrails will be 20 years old by the time this tour kicks off. Sheesh. A chance to hear some rare airings.

Infinity Broke’s debut album River Mirrors is due out soon on Beast Records in France  and will be followed by a French tour in late July/early August. In the meantime here’s a bunch of reviews for River Mirrors. Also note our Australian tour dates.

Sydney Morning Herald CD OF THE WEEK:

RIVER MIRRORS (Come to the Dark Side Luke/MGM)

Jamie Hutchings, once of Bluebottle Kiss, has been making compelling and exciting intimate records under his own name in recent years. Infinity Broke, though, is a chance for him to again tap into the dynamics and combustion of a group, to see what can come of letting things run free. With brother Scott, Reuben Wills and another BBK veteran in Jared Harrison, Hutchings can slide along in a loose groove that encounters a storm(Gallows Queue) or a desert shower (Napoleon Aged Three), or bring an intuitively, if partially hidden, pop-with-drunks-chorus sense (No Mirrors Here) and make it work. But this band can also mix Television and the Drones (the 11-minute Monsoon) and loom ominously over you (Sinless). Bernard Zuel 

COURIER MAIL

With his band Bluebottle Kiss, Jamie Hutchings has made some classic Australian albums (see 2002’s Revenge is Slow for starters). Lately he’s been in quieter solo mode but with his new band Infinity Broke he takes up the electric guitar again (a Jazzmaster, I am guessing by its biting sound). River Mirrors has the same razor-wire intensity of Bluebottle Kiss, propelled by Hutchings’s trademark angular guitar exclamations. The album was also recorded in a shearing shed in the NSW central west, and you can certainly feel all that corrugated iron in the music. It’s a very rhythmical kind of record too, aided by the supple bass of Reuben Wills and the two percussionists, Jared Harrison and Hutchings’s brother Scott. That’s there on the opening Gallows Queue, with its steady floor-tom shimmy and scene-setting lyrics (‘I’ve accumulated for myself so much trouble that it’s high time I be declared debt free”). All feels calm until Hutchings lets rip with the guitar and whammy bar, howling in a manner which would have upset the farm dogs at quite a distance. Monsoon uses a Krautrock motoric rhythm as the setting for more speaker destruction. Fans of bands from Can to The Drones will approve.  ****

Dear Comrades,

Again, thanks to all of you have got on board our Pozible crowd funding campaign to get the Infinity Broke – River Mirrors album out next year. Also if you came down to our show at Black Wire last Friday night thanks for putting up with my stench. So far with what’s been pledged we’ll be able to get the album manufactured onto cd as well as 180gm vinyl. Nice. With what’s trickling in we’re getting close to covering mastering as well. However we’d love it if those beyond this incredibly discerning listening circle you belong to could hear the album when it comes out. So, we’re hoping to keep raising funds to cover publicity and advertising costs. There’s still time left so we’ve decided to release some new pledges.

 Given how popular the limited edition CDR’s were when we launched this (the whole lot sold out in two days) we have decided to launch a new CDR treat.

 BLUEBOTTLE KISS LIVE 1999 – 2007 LIVE CDR

(compiled from live shows and radio live sessions – none of these recordings have been available previously and will be available as a full length CDR one off).

 Again, these are extremely limited. We’ve bundled them up in four different formats –

 –  Infinity Broke – River Mirrors signed cd

+ Bluebottle Kiss CDR 1999 – 2007 live limited edition album  –  $58

 –  Infinity Broke – River Mirrors signed 180gm vinyl LP ( includes download)

+ Bluebottle Kiss CDR 1999 – 2007 live limited edition CDR –  $70

 – Infinity Broke – River Mirrors signed cd

+ Bluebottle Kiss CDR 1999 – 2007 live limited edition album

+ limited edition Infinity Broke t – shirt (let us know your size) – $85

–  Infinity Broke – River Mirrors signed 180gm vinyl LP (ncludes download)

+ Bluebottle Kiss CDR 1999 – 2007 live limited edition album

+ limited edition Infinty Broke t-shirt (let us know your size) – $95

to check this out go to our Pozible Headquarters

Dear Friends

As I may have informed you, myself, Jared, Reuben and Scott have named our next phase/band Infinity Broke. We have lots of news, firstly –

CROWD FUNDING

Yes that’s right. We need your help. The album ‘River Mirrors’ is recorded and mixed however we need to fund the pressing on C.D and vinyl (yes) plus mastering, publicity and on it goes. Never fear though, it’s not money for nothing! We have 59 days to raise $5000. You can pledge anything from a little to a lot, the pledges start at C.D and vinyl versions of the new album all the way through to t-shirts, pseudo box-sets, one-off unreleased recordings on lovingly burnt CDR, live performances in your lounge room,the list goes on, it’s really stretched our collective imaginations! Please pass this on to your friends, loved ones, parents and pets. It will really help. Just go  here

NEW INFINITY BROKE SINGLE ‘SWING A KITTEN’

This is the first taste of the new album. Because we trust you so much you can ‘pay what you want’. This is available for download on Bandcamp and it comes with an exclusive non-album one-man-band four track recording as a b-side called ‘Slaughterhouse Jive’ for all you Vonnegut nuts. Find it here 

LIVE ROCK CONCERT/SINGLE LAUNCH IN SYDNEY

This seems as good an excuse as any for a live performance. This is our first show under the ‘Infinity Broke’ moniker and a chance for you to get a look in on the new album. Great lineup, good price and you can bring your own beer if you want to.
