Mere Noise are proud to release the new album by Dollar Bar – “Paddington Workers Club”.

Dollar Bar began in Brisbane Australia in 1998 when Dale Peachey released a home-recorded cassette called “Demonstrations” with the intention of forming a revolving line-up around his batch of GBV-inspired songs.
That idea didn’t last very long once Patrick McCabe, Brendan Rosenstengel and Chris Yates collectively wrapped their heads around Dale’s eclectic compositions and formed a steady band.

Dollar Bar gigged in Brisbane frequently and released a string of CD EPs recorded with Bryce Moorhead at Zero Interference. The “Pet Indifference”, “Queen Slipper” and “Journey To The Centre Of Attention” EPs lead the way to a self titled debut album in 2004, by which time Patrick and Chris were contributing songs and lead vocals alongside Dale.

Plenty of JJJ and community radio love came their way – especially at 4ZZZfm in their hometown, where “Cute Gurls Have The Best Diseases” was voted number one in the 2003 Hot 100 poll.

But then – they disappeared.

Now, nine years after that underheralded debut album, Dollar Bar have joined Mere Noise Records to release their second studio album “Paddington Workers Club”.

Named for the long-gone Brisbane venue where Dollar Bar played numerous gigs including a seminal release party for their 2003 “Journey” EP, “Paddington Workers Club” continues the Dollar Bar tradition with a concise collection of new songs, this time presented in as raw and natural state as possible.

Self-proclaimed ‘Space Garage Pirates’, Tiny Migrants are a Brisbane based 5-piece. They don’t take shit. They live underground and in the sky. They’re swine’s and they don’t care.

Since their inception, Tiny Migrants have traded cosmic valuables with the likes of gospel legend Mark Sultan, DIY enthusiast Ty Segall, Japanese jet rockers Guitar Wolf and dusty cowboy Spencer P Jones. Their debut 7″ is out now through Mere Noise Records and we think you should buy it!

MERE NOISE RECORDS ANNOUNCE 2013 7″ SINGLE CLUB!

To become a member of the Singles Club CLICK HERE!

2013 is the 10th Anniversary of Mere Noise Records and we are undertaking something we have always wanted to do – A 7” SINGLES CLUB – and best of all 100% of profits will be donated to charity. This will be a very limited run of 7″ vinyl that encompasses a whole lot of bands that helped shape Mere Noise over the last 10 years. Bands and artists that have helped us, worked with us, released through us, influenced us, inspired us! We are very excited to announce some of the amazing acts involved BUT we want to keep a few surprises up our sleeves. Each month of 2013 members will get a split 7″ single delivered to their home. There will only be 150 records pressed and only 120 memberships available worldwide! This is VERY limited. The records will NOT be repressed. There will be NO download codes. You will not be able to listen to them on the internet.

What we can tell you is the first release in January of 2013 will be a split 7″ between the almighty COSMIC PSYCHOS and Brisbane favourites HITS.

HITS – This HITS song has become a crowd favourite despite a recorded version never being released UNTIL NOW! This song will not appear on any other physical release! We don’t have to tell you how much it rules.
Cosmic Psychos – what can we say about the almighty Psychos? Could you get more grunt out of drums bass and guitar? We don’t think so.

Here is a taste of some other bands you will get over the first 6 months…. Bob Log III (USA), Tiny Migrants, Mad Macka, Chinese Burns, Sixfthick + Head On (France) – there are MANY more great artists in the pipeline! DON’T MISS OUT! Memberships are $125 + postage and handling.
