March 9th 2010

Good afternoon/evening/morning Hell Citizens, long time no update

 

Well we've been on an enforced holiday for a couple of months due to some idiot in the band convincing someone else in the band that skateboarding was a good idea... this in turn led to one broken elbow and two months no rock 'n' roll.

 

We'll give away free signed copy of the new single to the first 5 people who guess which idiot it was and who broke their elbow!! hit us back here, if you don't win you can buy the single from here though (along with all our other stuff)

 

So because of the above we'll be popping out for a few shows here and there but won't be touring again until late May now, we will however be touring with a whole bunch of new songs, some of which we'll give you as demos so you know what's going on at the shows.

 

Next gig will be in Sydney at The Gaelic with Melbourne's finest Electric Mary on April 30th, tix are on sale now too so grab em cause it'll be a biggy

 

have a vote for us on unearthed too if youse like here

 

If you've been reading Classic Rock mag out of the UK lately you'd of seen one or two pieces on the band since the album came out there via Powerage Records a couple of months ago, UK and European peeps hit up your local store for the album, should be available everywhere. Oh, we got a 7/10 in Metal Hammer too!

 

till next bit of news become friends with us on Facebook, Twitter and Myspace

 

Love, HCGx

 

January 21st 2010

Greetings Hell Citizens, may your credit card bills not be too painful as it's time to drink beer on the high seas/the harbour (or if we get screwed, the parramatta river)
 
Yup, we're hittting up another harbour cruise on February 13th along with Gene Pool Sharks, Clean Doubt and Fistmouth. The boat leaves from Pyrmont Wharf (near the maritime museum) at 11.45am sharp and will be back by 3.30 or so for you to start your casino evening (or to go see Electric Mary at The 'dale)
 
This will also be your first chance to grab a copy of the new single with the slinky new track 'One For The Road' on it too unless you already grabbed it via iTunes or Waterfront Records...
 
For harbour cruise tickets just hit the paypal on either the myspace or website and if you don't have paypal shoot an email to mail@hellcityglamours.com and we'll sort ya out for something
 
Love, HCGx

Hi Hellcitizens, how are you?
 
Sorry about the delay on this new demo we've been yapping on about, our marvelous webdude was super busy with people who actually pay him and playing gigs with his bands. You should check him out if you need stuff done on the internerd too by the way... www.abepe.com.au

Feel free to tell us you love it/hate it/think we've sold out to the man or anything else you feel needs expressing
 
We'll also have the One Night Only single launched next week via iTunes with another brand spanker as a B-side called, confusingly enough, One For The Road.
 
Basically it's a getting to the pub song followed by an 'oh no, bar's closing' song
 
We'll be doing a limited, hand stamped, hand numbered version of the single too, details on that shortly
 
And shows wise, we've got...

An album for some, a single for others, free song for all!‏

5th November 2009

Here's the skinny for the month
 
First up is that the album's out in the UK and Europe through Powerage Records and Plastichead Distribution as of Monday 2nd, we're damn proud and it's a different version too, comes with a slipcase and also has the Josephine video tagged on the end so get it any way you can/harass your local store to get it in if you're on that side of the world
 
Nextly is that we're going to do an iTunes single for One Night Only with a new song as a B side, it's called One For The Road and I've just realise both songs start with One, isn't that convenient! We'll wrap up recording this weekend and then let you know the release date ASAP.
 
There will possibly be a very limited run of it on CD as well, we're talking hand numbered limited here
 
And lastly, we'll have another new song to give you for free in the next couple of weeks too, once it's up we'll let you know where to go to get the little bugger
 
Next show's at the Annandale Hotel with The Poor & The Vandolls, December 11th 2009, see you Sydney types there

20th October 2009

We've got our heads down in writing mode for the next couple of months and we're going to endeavour to let you in on some of the new demos as we record them so you can tell us if they're good, bad or indifferent.
 
We're also looking at releasing a little digital live release too, maybe with a limited run of CDs to go with it
 
In the midst of this we've been kindly invited to play with a couple of Australia's finest bands so you can catch us here and here
 
23rd October 2009

w/The Hard-Ons
 
11th December 2009

angels tour day two

so thursday morning was a bit of a punish on the brain but we struggled through and got in the van. Stopped in at a shop in Coffs on the way to say hey to a friend and get some breakfast (sub standard coffee fyi) and then back through the road work hell that is the pacific highway. Got in to Forster around 4pm and checked in to the hotel and chilled out for a while.

Club Forster was a sight to see, the stairs we had to drag gear up and down were steep as fuck and about a mile high. What a fucking lug. We were relieved to see a lovely fruit and deli platter delivered to our room as there was still no booze on the rider. We ate about half of it before Ben, The Angels tour manager, came and put it in their room where it was actually destined. OOPS!!! sorry Ben!!!

Show was pretty good, played well, Buzz said nice things in between giving us shit too, they're a bunch of wisearses i tell you..

Angels got about 35 minutes in to their set before some dumb woman decided to pull Doc off the stage and poleaxe the guy in to the dance floor. Show over and a riot almost happened shortly after, the responsible party had to get escorted out the fire escape before she got a severe beat down too.

Had a random hello from a girl i went to school with which was bizarre and met up with Mo and I's friend Bones too.

Then back down the stairs and on to the hotel for a long night of watching infomercials

Angels Ahoy

We're just about ready to climb back in that damn stinky van and hit the road with The Angels, first leg of the tour begins next Wednesday in Coffs Harbour then on to Forster and Port Macquarie

Then Saturday (18/10) we're at Manly Fisho's for Octoberpuss with Grand Fatal, Lungs and heaps more bands

also we've got some new ability to do things on the website now so we may even do a tour diary!

 

Thanks and New Shirts

First up, a large thankyou once again to everyone who came to a show on the tour, bought an album or a beer and generally helped it be an awesome album launch tour.

We've got new Tshirts made (and the glamour girl design too!!) so if youse want one just hit the paypal on the myspace or the website above.

CDs are in most stores around the country or iTunes or www.waterfrontrecords.com (if you're international stylee you can get it from waterfront too)

If you want to request Josephine on Triple J, hit the link and we'll see if they'll give some rock'n'roll a spin for a change.

We'll have a few big gig announcements coming up soon too so stay tuned.

Love, HCGx

Album Progress

Our little jaunt to melbourne was mostly succesful with 80% of the album tracked, we're just tying up a studio in Sydney to finish it off then mix and master time.



Unfortunately due to the ways of the world it looks like the record will be out in April now, we're sorry!!!



Thanks to all who came to the Gaelic the other night for our show with Hardcore Superstar and for those of you in Northern NSW we're playing at Armidale Uni on 15/2



We'll have a paypal account set up in the next week or so for merch too if you're keen for a Tshirt, don't forget the EPs are available at all stores and online via iTunes and www.waterfrontrecords.com
