Gallucci - Buscemi Battles the Memory Robots (Flaming Lips) - It's pronounced Boo-Se-Mi you Idiots!

Time for Gallucci to head down south to see the sights....... Still one of my favourite flyers too. The Prahran Skatepark gig became plenty memorable when an almost fist-fight with a bunch of irate residents from the nearby apartments broke out mid-set. Quick on his feet, Clint from SFK asked one of them for a light...... Don't touch our Jenni!

Saved By Curb! In 2004, Curb Your Enthusiasm was credited with helping clear a Los Angeles man, Juan Catalan of first-degree murder. Catalan maintained his innocence, saying he was at a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game on May 12, 2003, at the time of the slaying. Coincidentally, during the Dodgers vs. Braves game an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm was being shot, and outtake footage was found showing Juan Catalan with his daughter at Dodger Stadium. Larry David later commented in a New Yorker article, "I tell people that I've now done one decent thing in my life. Albeit inadvertently. To quote Larry "If you ever need a blowjob at a reasonable price.......... this is your girl!

This post is to commemorate one of the most excellent moments of the Jenni-Tour, with a visit to Bondi Beach Skatepark for a midnight gig, Nov 23/24th 2006. A confused but appreciative crowd soon gathered as loud sounds were made by Gallucci, unfortunately this led to the police paying a visit, with one officer obliging for the customary yanking of the power cable from the jenni (why didn't we just hard-wire that thing?). During this period G'cci played a number of skateparks; Marulan, Bondi, Prahran, Maroubra, Fernside/Waterloo, Lumeah, Moorebank, St Ives..... I think a few more too.

Hahahahahaha, they made you take a PRESSure PHOTO....... (flick by LornaJane)

Here Ye, Here Ye! This Electronic Notification is to draw your attention to the fact that today, October 7, 2006 marks the release of the new Gallucci album entitled "You-Wrecker" 21 performances by the above mentioned... "You-Wrecker" and it's 21 extra lengthy songs, comes with some sweet hand-sown packaging that will surely fall apart after one listen. Download it here.

Obviously getting a little too confident at the time, Gallucci organised two totally disastrous screenings of 'The Year Punk Broke' in Byron Bay & Goulburn. In both cases, we played to one (likely unsatisfied) person. Let the good times roll in the year that punk almost broke us! Only upside was Andy Cowland (from Further) on bass guitar for one gig....

An excerpt from Cave-Clan magazine (Il Draino) #2;
"Melbourne Water can only enforce the by-law if there is an 'entry prohib' sign which kids mostly snag for their bedroom door. We rang Melbourne's 'Dob in a Drainer' hotline to get a recorded message about calling back in office hours. Entering service or steam tunnels can be risky but just leave the place, including entrance and exit as found. Potentially, the worst trouble we have gotten into was back in the 80's when the fed police came to the door with a telephone book sized file on us, asking for the fake name our p.o.box was in. We told them the guy moved to Perth. They asked 'was he into dungeons and dragons?"

Here is the first (and likely only) issue of our zine 'Electriac', a kind of pre-cursor to this windbag website. Click above if you want to dig deeper, bring your torch!

At 5'7" Spud Webb was one of the shortest players to ever lace up in the NBA. With 12 seasons from 1985-98, the zinger of his career was winning the '86 NBA Slam Dunk Contest by defeating defending champion & Atlanta Hawks teammate Dominique Wilkins who dunked it out with Jordan in '85. Apparently he'd never seen Spud dunk, and Webb told him he hadn't prepared anything or practiced.... He apparently first dunked a 10ft ring when standing just 4'11'.

What the hell is the 'Everlasting Jenni-Tour'? Well, it's No Stages, All Ages, Playing Anywhere, No Soundchecks, and of course the Generator (Jenni) giving us 'light'. Everlasting refers to Gallucci's refusal to roll over and just bloody die. Good times and Bad times all at once - DYI (that's 'Do-Yourself-In') at it's best.........

Enjoy this wierdly edited video of our Stooges gig with Watt & Steve! You can also read a very kind Drum Media review here. And the spiel Timothy wrote about it for trakMARX in the UK here.

Gallucci is getting the insane honour of playing with Mike Watt while he is here in Sydney on the Big Day Out tour. He's here with the Stooges, and we'll be playing a set from their first two albums. I don't know what else to say...... Practice!

In early 1983, this single flick 'Morning Mist, Rock Island Bend' by Peter Dombrovskis became incredibly influential over the Australian public - to the point where it may have decided the federal election that year in favour of Bob Hawke and the Labor Party. With the discussion about flooding the Franklin River in Tasmania raging and tipping toward building the proposed dam, this amazing time-lapse photograph appeared full-page in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age with the caption 'Could you vote for the party that would destroy this?'. I'm pretty sure I know which lever I would have pulled...... had I been alive.

Download a program from ABC Radio National fleshing out the whole story.

Our friend David Homer took some holga photos of us walking to Woolloomooloo (that's right 8x o!). It was a fun day out on the contact sheet..... click above if you want too much detail.

This flyer marks Gallucci's first ever gig in Sydney. Mother Nicastri can attest to the fact that it was loud and hard to understand..... Dig Deeper on 'We Jam Econo' Here.

Attend a local record store and locate the new Further album, by Further, titled 'Further!' and produced by diepunkdeath. TimothyBen even makes a tiny guest appearance (in falsetto) on 'Heavy Scene' - Download it here.

Check out some photos from the recording of 'Soca Punk!' - Right Here.

Ever seen these photo-real, see-through, technically perfect, hand-crafted artworks that companies used for advertising in the 1970's & 80's? Ever thought they were lost in that era? I did. Turns out they're still at it, and it still blows my mind. Dig Deeper Here.

Our first album, Soca Punk! You can download it here - but we are really asking that you don't. This fair and reasonable review from Skratch magazine in the US comminicates it well;

"Confusion about Gallucci will eternally reign after listening and researching this band. You're left asking yourself, "Is this a joke? Are you serious?" Musically, this band is absolute chaos, as they create a mixture of grindcore and rock, trying to come across as art. Professionally, Gallucci is a trainwreck. On their disastrous Website, the band claims, "We recorded this album to find band members." So why am I wasting my time? Well, it's my job as a SKRATCH writer to look at all material objectively...but this has to be the biggest piece of wasted plastic to ever enter my mailbox. Avoid this band. -Luke Skywalker"
But, you will find Andy Cowland (from Further) on bass and Clint Hyndman (from Something For Kate) on drums - so I guess that's something. A beginning I guess - Amateur but Energetic. Certainly better than staying at home anyway.

The next important step in forming a band was to take some arty looking photos of ourselves, photoshopping in Dr. Adem Terrett as the 3rd arm...... Mission Complete!

If you've ever wondered how Gallucci started, look no further than this flyer. We put it up, heard a deafening silence, and then remembered we were brothers. We were pretty much suicidal as a band from day dot. No Radioheads........ What does that even mean?
