Hello!

As promised we've now uploaded some previously unreleased bonus studio tracks we recorded. They didn't quite make it to the full mastering process down at Studios 301 in Sydney, but we think they are still worthy of releasing to the internet.

The newly released tracks are:-

1. Arseholes Like You


2. Gravy


3. Say It

You can hear them via the music player in the top-pane or download them from the Audio (studio) section of the side-pane.

We hope you either like them or don't like them...!

Heheheh...some previously unreleased studio songs are coming soon to a semicolon website near you!

Greetings & Merry Xmas 2006 to everyone from semicolon!

Hopefully you all got what you asked for this year.

I actually went go-kart racing yesterday and I have to say it's freakin mad; amazing feeling drifting/sliding into the curves (gotta love the sound of squealing tyres! :-P). Coincidentally, Big Brother's Mike Goldman (that Uplate guy) was also there, unfortunately I didn't manage to take him out on the track so you'll probably have to deal with him again for BB07, heheheh.

By the way, thank you all for your ongoing support. Yes we have kept a fairly low profile of late, but hey if you are still checking the site much appreciation your way. We will let you know ASAP when the next semicolon event is scheduled with some bigger/better/ material. My new favourite band at the moment is Snow Patrol (recent singles "You're all I have" & "Chasing Cars"), so that may influence the colon sound :-)

Anyways, on behalf of Jodes and Bragg, I hope you have a grand day with lots of good fun, food, drink, conversation and loved ones.

Keep smiling and take care for now,
Nathan

Well we've gotten the call from Harder Films that the Be Here Now filmclip is ready for release. This will be the 2nd release from the 'Heartsucker' EP, so stay tuned and we'll let you know when you can view it on RAGE, MTV, Channel [V], etc.

If you were one of the many extras in the video. hopefully watching it will remind you just how much fun the clip was to make :-)

Whoops.

Seems we managed to accidentally blow away the links for the downloadable live tracks in the Downloads "side pane" during the last upload of Photo Album pics (so they've been unavailable for the last few weeks). My bad.

Thanks to the anonymous benefactor for emailing us and pointing this out.

They are back and all is normal again. Download and enjoy!

Hey gang,

We have entered JJJ's nationwide Unearthed competition. It's great exposure for the winning band and if you've got the time and like our songs, we'd really appreciate your vote.

Thanks!

Well we finally got all the pics from those crazy paparazzi and have uploaded them to The Alley section of the Photo Album.

There's quite a few there (from various cameras) so enjoy and make yourself a cup of coffee :-)

Once again thank you to everyone who came along and gave their support, making it a very worthwhile and fun night!

Hey! We've been lined up to play a show at The Indooroopilly Hotel tonight. Apologies for it being so last minute, but if you're reading this and have no plans tonight, we'll see you there! We go on stage about 10pm.

Okay another news item (just because I can...and feel guilty for neglecting you)

The setlists in the Gig Guide have just been updated. Luckily I kept them all!

A new entry has also been added to the Band Journal

Finally, I am battling the Discussion Board at the moment, we are being SPAMMED. That's why you see a whole bunch of old topics updated but without any new posts. Argh.

Last week us sneaky semicolon people went out to a Jam night at Gilhooleys Chermside. It's pretty much just a night where musicians of all shapes and sizes can jump up on stage and just have a jam, so not an official gig. Anyway, the organisers took photos during the night and the ones of yours truly are below

Photos from the recent QUT and Sideshow Alley shows will be up soon as soon as we can get them from our paparazzi :-)

Click to enlarge (of course)

semicolon will be playing a show next Saturday, August 19th at the newly refurbished Alley Bar to co-incide with the Annual Brisbane Exibition Show (The Ekka) celebrations.

Hey all!

New pics have been uploaded to The Alley section of the Photo Album

The following tracks (recorded Live) have just been uploaded to the site.

1. Cheeky Monkey


2. I Cannot Forgive You


3. Papercuts


4. Arseholes Like You

You can either listen to them from the "semicolon MP3 player" above or download them (right-click and save) on the links in the side-pane to the right.

The first 3 were recorded a few weeks ago at a new Gold Coast studio. Jode was actually coming down with Pharyngitis at the time so she was a trooper to still sing that day.

"Arseholes Like You" was recorded for 3PBS radio in Melbourne during the tour last year.

We hope you enjoy and please give your feedback on the discussion board (unless you're being a troll :-P)

We have recently been in a new studio down the Gold Coast where we have laid down some live demo tracks in further prep for the new CD. It'll hopefully give us some good indicative ideas on any extra production needed.

The songs we worked on were

1. I Cannot Forgive You
2. Papercuts
3. Cheeky Monkey

Once mixing is finished in the next couple of weeks we might upload these demos to the website for some feedback and your listening pleasure of course :-)

As at the week of May 10-17, semicolon's "The Penisth Song", having just recently been released to www.mp3.com.au, has rocketed to the #1 slot on the charts this week, bumping Fall Out Boy to #2!

Needless to say we are STOKED by this. Thanks and keep downloading the song everyone!

http://www.mp3.com.au/semicolon

In case you forgot to tune into radio station 4ZZZ(102.1FM) last weekend, you can now download the entire semicolon interview from the DOWNLOADS section of the "side bar" to the right.

Otherwise you can use the link right here
semicolon 4ZZZ interview

Just right-click on the link and save it to your harddrive.

We've kept the filesize as small as possible (it's about 20MB), but if you have a broadband connection that should only equate to a couple of minutes download time (if that!)

The infamous Penisth Song has been released to www.mp3.com.au and is roaring up the charts.

You can now download it via the links in the MEDIA --> DOWNLOADS --> Discography & MP3s section of our website.

Download and be merry!

Well unless you've been living in a bubble with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears, then you'll know that pretty much everyone and their dog has a MYSPACE website these days.

Ever the conformists, semicolon are happy to join the fray and you can access our MySpace profile by clicking here or clicking the link in the side pane to the right over there -->

It's a continual work-in-progress so check back often!

And if you add us as a friend then we'll be friendly to you (eat your heart out Dr Phil)

semicolon will be bombarding your ears with some of their favourite tracks when they hijack radio station 4ZZZ (102.1FM) at 3pm on Saturday, April 29th for an hour long session of programming.

Tune in then kids!

New pics have been uploaded to The Basement section of the Photo Album from our recent gig there in the Queen St Mall.

Yeah, nothing in the Photo Album since the tour in August last year. Lame huh? We're working on it ok?! Photos from Jodiepalooza are on the way!

Argh, Jodie has unfortunately come down with some sort of crazy throat infection, and semicolon has had to pull out of the Alley show this Friday (with The Ladykillers and Amphetish) so that she can heal a little bit.

We will still be there to support them in the crowd though, so please still come along!

Sorry guys! Cursed human illnesses!

New pics can be found in the Tour Photos section of the Photo Album from all the fun times had in QLD, NSW, and VIC.

Due to circumstances beyond our control the semicolon show at the "Get Set" Festival scheduled for this Saturday has been cancelled.

Sorry if you were planning to rock up to see us, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

We have added some new lyrics of the latest batch of songs you've been hearing at our gigs.

1. Arseholes like You


2. Cheeky Monkey


3. Gravy


4. I Will Disappoint You


5. Say It


6. Too Much

Check them out in the Lyrics section

Tim from Big Brother recently was heard on TripleJ specifically requesting the 'Penisth Song by semicolon' and dedicating it to one of his housemates.

Cheers Tim, you should have won!
