Yet Another Smash Hit In The Can

We're Doin A Album

Fans and enemies of No Action will be enthused and outraged respectively to hear that we're heading to Twin Earth this weekend to record a bunch of rip-snorting barn-raisers for Muscly Johns. Talk about Too Tough To Die. Guitar pedals are primed and we've doublechecked all the volumemetrics and songology. Disputes about what to call the album rage on. Will anything topple reigning champ "Carrying On Like A Pork Chop"? Will your four favourite members of No Action live to see the other side? Who would you murder if you could get away with it? Was this blog update worth reading? Were the Mayans right?

Unstoppable

Our split with Tangle got a complimentary review from one Andy Malcolm on Collective Zine. Thank you Andy Malcolm.

If you would like to buy one of the last few copies of the split you can do so directly from us here.

And just a reminder that we're playing our last show for the year this Thursday at The Metro with Psy Ants from Brisbane, Big Richard Insect from Adelaide, and Shopgirl from Canberra. Here is a flyer:

House show of the year alert

Well I guess it's official, the house show of the year is coming up and No Action is playing it:

My understanding is ITA will be covering KORO and NO ACTION will be covering GBV and NEBRASKA will be covering MOSS ICON and WINTERREISE will be covering THE PRESETS * some of these predictions may not actually be true but you'll need to come to the show to find out which ones! Get in contact with NO ACTION or the number on the flyer for the address.
