Friends of Shirticus
Here’s a list of our friends, collaborators and people we think are genuinely cool.
- Hidden Shoal Recordings - Our bretheren. Fabulous Australian independent record label. All releases can be previewed and purchased online.
- Swayback - Our rawk and rawl brothers from Adelaide. Check out some of the best slide-driven swagger rock, the likes of which had not been heard since The Flamin’ Groovies and The Stones strutted the scene during the early 1970’s. You’ll be seeing and hearing a lot more of these guys - trust us.
- BinMillion - Australian comedy collective that Stu and I collaborate with. Odd, surreal and playful. Check out their audio sketches and video pieces online. Anyone who has an album called "Brawn Felon" has a permanent place in our address books!
- An-Archos - Collaborator and all round genius. The wonderful community network building of Dr Malcolm Riddoch is second to none.
- Lightship Visual - Stu’s corporate design guise. Check out this wonderfully talented man in both commercial and non commercial modes.
- The Chaser Network - Wonderfully naughty Australian interventionist comedy. These guys stick it to the people who need it stuck to.
- Shaun Micallef - In my humble opinion, one of the funniest men in Australia. "The Micalleff Pogram" (yes that is how it was spelled) was sheer genius with an incredibly well balanced mix of absurdity, slapstick and brains. This site is a fan run site but has lots of Micallef material to wade through.
- Sun Valley Research - One of the homes of two of my favourite artists, David Haines and Joyce Hinterding. Check out documentation of and writing about their work as well as that of some other great visual and sound artists.
