This time last year we divulged our top twelve Australian artists and top five international artists to watch over the following twelve months. So we figured now was as good a time as any to have a look back and see how they all fared...

Chicks Who Love Guns' latest video clip for single "Moon Eater" gives a nod to The Breakfast Club and a lesson in why to say no to 'the pot'.

Number 15 Parramatta Road Annandale has been demolished, and its days as a music space are over. But just a few days ago, at the Block Party in its honour, it was a bustle of crowds, market stalls, and of course, bands — all turning up for one last celebration on site. The setlist included She Rex, The Upskirts, Chicks Who Love Guns, Sures, Regular John, and The Preatures, who, with varying degrees of success, provided the entertainment of the day.

We catch up with our good friends in Chicks Who Love Guns to talk about their music, super heroes, the new EP Moon Eater and much, much more...

Armed with their third EP, Moon Eater, Chicks Who Love Guns will be heading out on an east coast tour this September and October! The first single taken off the EP, "Shin-Okubo", has already become a viral smash hit and if that is anything to go by, we can only assume the rest of Moon Eater will follow the same lines.

In this issue: Go Here, Go There at FBi Social, Johnny Casino at The Espy, Into The Woods fundraising gig + more!

Long time favourites of the AU review, Sydney punk rock outfit Chicks Who Love Guns continue doing their genre proud with their latest track "Shin-Okubo", the first single from their forthcoming EP Moon Eater. This is their third EP release in three years and we're expecting plenty of eyes and ears to turn to the group on its release. We can't wait to hear it. In the meantime, enjoy the trippy music video for their latest track:

Walking into the venue to have my ears assaulted by a punk cover of Dido wasn’t the best introduction to Sydney based group Chicks Who Love Guns. The band of larrikins seemed to have some hardcore groupies in the crowd, and to their credit they had a fun presence, but their music was not to my taste; their songs all sounded the same, and their front man lacked the cocky bravado necessary to pull off the vibe they were aiming for.

Damn Terran play The Old Bar in Melbourne to release their new single Rebels. Michael Christian brings you these photos.

As we stumble well into 2012 and begin to make our way into the colder months, the Australian live music scene is anything but freezing up. If anything they are becoming more frequent. Take a look at our recent gig announcements which include Clark, N'Fa, Chick Who Love Guns and much more!

There are a heap of one off gig announcements happening all around the country this week, with the likes of Das Racist, Shadowqueen, Iowa, Kitchen's Floor, Jonti, Gold Fields and much more all hitting the stages in various bars and venues. There is also the return of the highly popular Women of Soul nights happening at the Cherry Bar!

WOMEN OF SOUL

Jumping on the bandwagon, here, in no particular order, are twelve Australian bands we're looking out for in 2012... five bands from overseas we're predicting big things for here in Australia... AND a couple of Australian bands the rest of the world should have their eye on! Madness! Read on...

Sydney punk quintet Chicks Who Love Guns have powered through a plethora of East Coast venues since late 2009, leaving patrons breathless and a fog of cigarette smoke behind. Almost two years and a debut EP later, the five boys are now releasing EP number two, Stutter.

Part of The Sydney Fringe, the Captured project came to an end on Sunday night, with a massive crowd filling up the Oxford Art Factory Gallery Bar for a free show featuring Cameras and Chicks Who Love Guns.

The winners were announced, and it was Bon Chat, Bon Rat who took the public vote - while Stefan Hunt and Campbell Brown (of Good Cheer)'s short film about Chicks Who Love Guns took the judges vote.
