Are you the kind of person who can't help but correct people when they recite Tom Waits's discography in the wrong order? Do you know the differences between Simon and Garfunkel? Could you name the ARIA winners for the last ten years? If so, you probably need to get laid. You might find someone who finds you attractive competing on RocKwiz, an incredibly funny show that quizzes contestants on things much more interesting than the above. They're on the road, we've printed the merch, I don't even need to give you the question, you know the answer to that. Check out the tour page for details.

Out With The New would love to extend large hugs and discreet bum pinches to Sarah Blasko, Hilltop Hoods and The Presets for their ARIA wins last night.

For over a decade BODYJAR have experienced the complete gamut of rock … from playing to 3 people at the humble Tote Hotel, Collingwood to playing in front of 45,000 punters in Korea and selling out shows in Japan. They’ve been in the Who Weekly crossword, been referenced on "Neighbours", ignored by "Home And Away", and seemingly less importantly, ignored by Australian commercial radio … cos in the end the JAR still managed to pick up a couple of Gold Records along their way without any real support from mainstream radio. Guess there’s no fooling punters who know great music when they hear it. Get along to a show and pay your respects. See tour page for details.

In anticipation of their massive show at The Hi-Fi Bar in October, Star Assassin are offering their debut album "Bleeding To The Circle" for only $9.95! That's nearly a third of the normal price. This offer is very limited. It only lasts for one week, starting as of today. Get your orders in soon!!

OWTN would like to extend our warmest sympathies and condolences to the family, band mates and fans of Magic Dirt bassist Dean Turner. He was a lovely bloke, a talented musician and a guide and inspiration to so many. He will be sorely missed.

It's no secret that we here at Out With The New are huge fans of Sarah Blasko, but even our devotion was raised more than a few notches with the release of her new album, As Day Follows Night. In our humble opinion it's one of the best damn records released in as many years as we can think of. Seriously, it's that good. Craig saw her in Bellingen last night and nearly didn't return, such was his enchantment from the performance. We're very excited to have printed brand new shirts for this run (based on the cute little character from her new video clip, No Turning Back), and they're selling like crazy. Make sure you get along to one of her shows, they are truly something to behold.

Stuck for something to do tonight? Due to overwhelming demand, Bliss n Eso will perform a second and final show at Melbourne's infamous Festival Hall on Friday June 12th. Their first show at the iconic venue sold out in a matter of days, which has made it the fastest selling Australian hip-hop show of all time. Say "Hi" to our friendly merch staff and check out the fabulous range available.

Thirsty Merc have sent us a veritable truckload of stock, which means our storage area is bursting at the seams. As they say in all the crappy Warehouse Liquidation ads, We'd rather sell it than store it", so get in now for a super-bargain. While you're there, check out the continuing sales for Little Birdy, Pete Murray and Evermore as well. Time to rug up for a chilly Winter.

A picture's worth a thousand words. Here is Marley the office dog in his new fancy hoody.

As we say goodbye to a massive run with funny man / musical virtuoso Tim Minchin we say G'day to a swag of new tours. Check out the Tours page for shows from Paul Kelly, The Presets (with Architecture In Helsinki), Kate Miller-Heidke, Okkervil River, Little Birdy, Sneaky Sound System and a host of others. Of special note is Architecture In Helsinki's "dot" shirt. If you have a chance to see it at a merch desk, send us an email and let us know what you think - we're thinking of having it framed - an amazing design!

Out With The New are rapt to be donating the online distribution of the After The Fire CD, with all proceeds going to the St Vincent de Paul Bushfire Relief Appeal. The CD features a swag of artists from Renee Geyer, Sean Kelly and Marty Willson-Piper through to Kevin Welch (Nashville), Joe Camilleri, Chocolate Starfish and many more. All artists have donated their talents to this CD. It is available for preorder from the shop right now and will be sent out from Monday 6th April. To watch the promo video of the making of this wonderful production go to: www.myspace.com/afterthefirecd

It shocked us all at OWTN today to discover that the beloved Peninsula Lounge in Mooroduc shut its doors today. Dallas Frasca was scheduled to play there on Saturday night, but due to all gigs being cancelled has rescheduled the show to The Baha Bar at 2409 Point Nepean Road, RYE. Tell all your friends and trek on down to Rye for some fresh sea air and what promises to be a great gig.

Out With The New are very, and I mean very, happy to officially welcome our new Super Manager to the fold, crazy Mexican Juan Cueller. He's like an office version of a rabies-mad wrestler. He comes with high credentials as well, having run merch for Rise Against for many years, as well as traveling with the massive Warped Tour. If there's anything you need in the realms of shirt production, staffing, or tips on making the most tasty quesadillas, you can reach him at juan@outwiththenew.com.

Happy New Year! Our dilatory greeting is not due to the nursing of hangovers but rather the resting of muscles, as the new years period was crazy for us. Big thanks go out to Rollercoaster Festival, Peats Ridge Festival and All Tomorrow's Parties for looking after us and ensuring we slept well the next day.

In other news, with the new year comes new beginnings and so it is for our wonderful staff Janet and Amy. Without mincing words they've been running this damn company for ages, and it is with great sadness that we bid them a fond adieu. However, we'll be welcoming a new team soon, so we'll keep you updated and make some formal introductions before too long.

In the meantime, there are plenty of tours to keep you interested in music for 2009 - including the likes of The Waifs, Kate Miller-Heidke, The Church, Something With Numbers and the triumphant return of funnyman Tim Minchin. See you at a show soon!

All Tomorrow's Parties is a peripatetic festival that has, over the years, attracted a reputation as being one of the most magical and incredible festival experiences in the entire world. Curated by respected musicians, these excursions boast line ups of such talent that it's not uncommon for fans to travel overseas just to see the line up. I was trying to work out how to get to England for the Melvins/Fantômas one this week myself. For the first time in its illustrious history, All Tomorrow's Parties is coming to Australia, and who better to curate than Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds. They'll be presenting a stunning line up including acts like The Saints, The Dirty Three, Spiritualized, The Reels, Bill Callahan, Laughing Clowns and many, many more. Tonnes of sideshows will happen around the main events, and we're pleased as a punch drunk porpoise to be printing up a special run of All Tomorrow's Parties merchandise as well. For more information have a look at the tours page! Boo-ya!

We find it really hard to believe, but it seems our printers actually like to have a holiday over the Christmas break. Some people! As such, if you are a band or organisation that would like merchandise printed up over the next month or so, you'll be interested in our deadlines. These are:

Friday December 5
All artwork and quotes must be approved by this date if you would like your merch by the end of the year (it should be done by December 20 at the absolute latest). If you miss this, then the next deadline is:

Thursday January 15
This is the next date we'll be able to have your stock ready by, and this is assuming all artwork and quotes are approved by January 5.

Yes, it's a bit of a gap but we work those poor printers so hard all year we need to cut them a little slack to save them cutting our arms off. If you have any questions about production please don't hesitate to get in touch!

We're stoked with our new Tshirt suppliers, but as luck would have it, we have a little stockpile of blank American Apparel shirts left over from a couple of orders. Our overordering becomes your party as we let them go out the door cheap as chips. Click here to pick yourself up a bargain.

Our hearts are all a-flutter at the prospect of working with Perth's loveliest wandering minstrel, Mr. Bob Evans (if that is his real name...ahem). He'll be bringing a new band out on the road and playing a bunch of brand new tracks he's been recording in Nashville for his third album, Goodnight, Bull Creek!, due out around April/May next year. Check the tour page for details.

Being a company predominantly staffed by females, the whole “Movember” initiative of growing facial hair for charity becomes a little difficult. Not impossible, of course, but none of the Out With The New ladies have been prepared to ingest the necessary hormones for such a feat, and the three blokes are usually so unshaven it seems a bit of a pisstake to embark on such a scheme in any event. Instead, we are holding our own Movember, and this time the charity is you.

For the month of November, we will give you, our loyal bands who need merch manufactured, mo’ fo’ yo’ money. Movember. Get it? It’s a stretch, but we missed “Stocktober”, give us a break.

For the month of November, any stock ordered and paid for by November 30 will receive a 5% discount. This covers all of our super brand new stock (which, might I add, is cheaper than the old stuff even before this special deal) – the Organic range, the regular range, posters, bags, badges, everything. Anything at all you need us to put together, you will get a discount so long as it’s ordered and paid for by November 30. We’ll also cover reprints in this because we’re so goddamn excited. Please note this does not extend to stock on the webstore, this is a deal for the bands we print for. For a new catalogue or any further information please contact Amy or the office.

We are most chuffed to be assisting one of the coolest bands around right now finish off their tour, and we are talking of none other than The Drones. I am in fact awaiting a copy of their new album as I type. They only have a few shows left in Sydney, Brisbane and the west side (WA), so don't miss out if you can avoid it, they don't really play too often. Dates on the tour page!

Festival season seems to come around earlier every year. Before long we'll be celebrating the summer festivals in June. At any rate, we are very excited to be working with a whole range of crazy festivals both large and small in the coming weeks and months - namely Sounds In The Grounds at the Sydney Uni Manning Bar this Saturday October 18, Fat As Butter in Newcastle on Sunday November 2, Trackside in Canberra on Saturday November 22, Festival of the Sun in Port Macquarie over December 12 and 13 and, just confirmed, the massive Peats Ridge Festival on the NSW Central Coast over New Years Eve! Keep an eye on the tours page for details of who's playing, and make sure you bring your wallets a loaded and ready for action because there is going to be miles of merchandise!

Out With The New are pleased and very excited to announce a whole new range of ethical, high quality, blank shirts for you to create your band merchandise on!

The logo's new. The website's new. The webstore's new. And we'll soon be announcing some new products in our range of Tshirts. Watch this space . . .
