Hardcore 2006

Hardcore 2006 is coming to New Zealand for the first time this year and we are playing the Saturday night show. Headlining Sunday night is none other than Ringworm, who we are all fans of and are psyched to see live. The details -

Saturday August 5th - Antagonist (AKL Record release), Capone, GSH, & more
Sunday August 6th - Ringworm (USA), Damaged, The Warpath & more

It's at 420 on K Road in Auckland. Door sales only, Saturday is $10 and Sunday is $15. We are looking forward to immersing ourselves once again in the suffocating filth of Auckland. We hope to see you there.

So...

Greetings. This blog will be used for all Guest Stabs Host related things and probably general ranting. Please feel free to leave comments as desired, opinions welcomed. You don't need to be a member to do that either.

After almost six months of hiatus for various reasons, GSH will start playing shows again next month. Lots of things have changed since then, and it is now essentially a different band.
We have a new bassist - cockwarming young man named Kalem has replaced dearly dead and departed Simon on the "Bass Guitar". Kalem (or, as he has recently become aliased - "Damaged Man") has been a long-time friend of the band and has served time in The Batstorm and Then I Said Why. He comes equipped with a Ratt pedal and a general misanthropy, and he has slotted nicely into the band. It now looks like this -

Rhydian - words
James - guitars
Mike - guitars
Kalem - bass
Jason - drums

We have six new songs and a cover and will still be playing "Groundhog Day" but everything else rests in shitty graves so don't ask us to play it.
Our first show back will be at "Sharkfest" in Wellington, with numerous other buddies ranging from our good Auckland friends The Wrongmen to Wellington destroyers Scab and Tauranga's most notorious and negative pessimist band Brick vs Face. We hope you will come along and check us and the rest of the bands out - venues haven't been confirmed just yet but it promises to be an exciting two-night festival! I'll post details on here as they become available.

We are hoping to have two things ready for the show - firstly a lyric zine detailing all the new rantings, hopefully presented in a quality that could be described as "vaguely desirable". This will have a few illustrations and other things courtesy of various people including the legendary Richie Burns, an ex-member, great artist, and good friend.
Secondly we will be printing new shirts, although no date can be confirmed for the finalized production of said shirts. The design is a luxurious three-colour print, done by the extremely awesome Thomas Casey, a notable young man with some good skills. You can contact him with donations/fuck-offerings to t_sacs@hotmail.com. Prints are detailed below but aren't of the quality you can expect on the finished product - the internet requires sacrifices!



The brown shirt will use bronze ink whereas the blue shirt will be done in silver. Again, more info coming soon.

Lastly, we are finishing up a website at present. Stay tuned!
