Brisbane's My Fiction have a new single in "Neon Cola Signs", and from May 10, they'll be out on the road to promote the track! Over the past year, the band has been working with Magoo in producing some killer new material; the new single, the first to be lifted off My Fiction's forthcoming sophomore release, will go lengths in demonstrating why the band have been celebrated not only on the homefront, but overseas as well.

MY FICTION - THE "NEON COLA SIGNS" TOUR

In this issue: Cold And Need are calling it quits, Japanese heavy rockers Boris are playing at the Rosemount, Track & Field are offering 2-for-1 ticket special and Nat Dunn and My Fiction are launching their new EP’s.

In This Issue: Bon Scott Anniversary Tribute Show at Yarraville Club, Jade Diary performing at Clancy’s Fremantle WA, The Wonder Years Soundwave Sideshow, Second lineup announced for the Rock and Roll Gumbo Medicine Show, My Fiction headline Slam Day, Popstrangers, Bored Nothing and Bearhug touring March, Rich Batsford ‘Mindfulmess’ at the Adelaide Fringe, Gallows, Shai Hulud, Confession & Milestones Sidewave and The Music Maker Blues Revue at Northcote Social Club.

No matter what may happen on stage, there's always something happening behind the stage: we do that every week here on The State of Affairs. This week: Sam Sparro gives producers an opportunity to remix his music, an opportunity to educate yourself to get into DIY audience expansion, and a bunch of Australian artists grab a heap of grants to tour around Australia and provide workshops.

An ‘anything goes’ festival; with five stages emitting a mix of dub, indie, soul and techno. Held at GC Parklands, similar setup to BDO, only half the size, Good Vibrations 2011 was a testimony to the fact that good things can come in small packages!

Last night, Brisbane Sounds celebrated Christmas in style with some of the hottest local acts around: My Fiction, The Mercy Beat and The Winnie Coopers.
