“TFS have the energy and anarchic joy that few bands are able to emulate, and for that reason alone are a band well worth seeing perform live.” Beat Magazine

Avant-psych-noise-skuzz weirdo’s Tropical Fu*k Storm release their newest track… The Planet Of Straw Men (available through Flightless Records now HERE . The first new music since 2018’s terrifying debut A Laughing Death In Meatspace, The Planet Of Straw Men is a trans planetary neutron dance about casting the first stone on the third stone from the sun. You can watch the clip here.
In a world where dissident writers are drawn and quartered, communists wear Rolexes, and Trump drives around with a fridge-full of blood; Tropical Fu*k Storm’s new single is testament to the jester’s duty.
The Planet of Straw Men revives TFS’s art-punk manoeuvres with a political snarl that pulls your head in, without calling you out. Lauren Hammel’s drums unwind like a sonic mirage of a call-to-battle. The swagger of Fiona Kitschin’s bassline is as insecure as a parliamentary promise. And Erica Dunn’s uncorked guitars frolic throughout the track like a shit-faced fist fight. In this bare-knuckle ceremony, TFS have made a song and dance of diplomacy’s cheap-suit delusions of grandeur. “They want the glory of a coup de gras!” spits Gareth Liddiard; a broken bottle reminder that General Jack D. Ripper’s red-cap reincarnation is running the show—and how unsatirical this whole joke is.
In other exciting news, Tropical Fu*k Storm are the newest signing to join Melbourne’s Flightless Records family, joining King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Amyl and The Sniffers, the Murlocs, O.R.B, Traffik Island and more!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
