That Girl's Not Real

You Look Like Someone Told You To Smile

Catfight. An industrial/electro/satire duo formed of Matt Labedzki & Samora Clark. With brief appearances on occasion from Heath Keleher. 
Live shows were often bizarre and involved strange sounds, nudity, horrible jokes and a lot of profanity. 

No Solace Now

Nothing Compares

Dusted is/was the name I used to release my own electronic music under. 
The songs are strange, noisy, subtle messy and just a little bit of everything really. I never knew much about making music using only my computer, but hey, this is some of what I came up with. Created sometime between 2000 and 2010.

1 Breathe In Dust

This song/arrangement/pattern was originally written as an electronic "doof" song by me, but then this rendition was created a little later in a band setting. 
Recorded live in my loungeroom / Band Practice.
Put together with the help of Nathan Haskell - then the addition of Samora Clark & Heath Keleher.
We called our band "The Makeloves". The end. 




Calm Before The Storm

I get asked a lot about this so I thought it might be time to finally release some of these songs to the public. 
From the ashes of Spankpaddle, a past band, myself and several of the members on this recording jammed out some pretty solid songs and recorded them live in my loungeroom - No click tracks, solid playthrough (no cut+pasting)and minimal additional overdubs (vocals mainly). 
William Geary, Desmond Hopkins, James Cooper, Jason Berg and myself (Matt Labedzki) were the make up of this band which we called "Minutes 2 Midnight" (borrowed from a favourite Cog lyric of mine) 

Bullets Of Change (2016 ReMaster)

One of my oldest original guitar riffs that I came up with pre-2005 and worked on over the years as I really never played lots of guitar but jammed a lot on James Coombs' Jackson and cool Zoom GFX707 or 505 or whatever it was. 
I'd love to fully record this again one day with a whole band though!

In Mine Mined (working title).WAV

Back in the early to mid 2000's I was hanging and jamming a lot with a guy named James Coombs - We both used to swap playing guitar and drums and 99% of the time were a proud "Improv only" band where we basically improvised everything we played on the spot, recorded it with mini discs and shit like that, named every song something obsurd, laughed our asses off every time we made music and occasionally had guests :P 
Good times.

Hairy And The Hendersons 2!!!!!

A few years ago I was getting right into Karnivool and was drumming and learning a lot of thier stuff at the time and came up with an idea t ohave a band called "Storm Over The Sea".  A mate of mine Neale Atkins was into the same stuff so we jammed a little bit of those sounds in an original arrangement. 
Electric kit obviously. 
Some cool riffs and drum licks in it anyway :P

Storm Over The Sea Ideas 1

Pretty much the very first serious band I was in that wasn't in school. 
Formed by me putting up a "Drummer seeking band" flyers around town and getting two responses randomly a few weeks later - one by a drunk guy who was just heckling and the other by a guy named Samora Clarke. 
He rang, we met that day and have since hit off one of my most musical and close friends ever as a human. Sam and I then called in Ken Pryer, Jon Hewson (original Bassist) then later Liam Pennicott(2nd bassist) and Nathan Haskell on 2nd guitar too. We jammed and recorded a lot in my grandparents loungeroom and eventually Kens upstairs flat in the city where we'd often open the windows and basically perform to the city outside a few floors down. 
This band became a big central part of our friends group and so did the apartment in the city. 
There's a lot of recording of this band but a lot of it is repeats of the same song with only slight variations so I won't put it all up.

Anthem #1

Every Drop Of Pain #3

Fellow local drummer from Launceston Joel Delphin (ex. The Embers)
and I set out to put together a single 15 minute dual-drummer-syncing song/performance for an upcoming art exhibition opening which was being held in the "old post office" in Launceston. A bit of an iconic place to have the chance to do a 15min drum performance in! 
I'd dare say we'd be the only two drummer in history of Tassie that can say we've done that. 
Anyway, our working name was "The Skipping" 
We did spend a little bit of time recording studio stuff but I think this is just a practice - there is a recording of the actual live performance somewhere.
