F**k Christmas. Never mind the bollocks.

Open your presents early with some phat, punked out, funked up prog beats, house & trance.

Phatter than Santa's ass, more funked up than George Clinton's nitrous habit - six young Kiwi punks known as Six Bad Livers are gonna get proper filthy, deep down in the dark of Carbon, December 19th.

Mark, Damien, Astral, Dannyboy, Callam and Pyre will be punking back2back, front2back, and back2fronting-up with the freshest filth from their dirty old crates of noise.

Fuck Christmas. Never mind the bollocks. Open your presents early with some phat, punked out, funked up prog beats, house & trance.

Oi! In case you were wonderin' six bad livers are:

Mark Emerson AKL

A dirty D&B boy turned all prog, Mark is stoked as he recently scored a free copy of Hayley Westenra 's new CD. Which is lovely 'cos the back is quite dark and that's good at about 5am in the morning when it's hard to see.

Damien AKL

Aptly named after the anti-christ, Damien thought this would be an appropriate time of year to spin some tunes now that he's stopped them from playing backwards all the time.

Astral AKL

Many think that Astral was named after the act of "Astral Travelling" induced when you have a particularly spiritual experience. Not true. Not at all. He was trying to spell Australia.

Dannyboy WGTN

Without Dannyboy they were the five bad livers. After he joined they were gonna be called six bad livers, two shot kidneys, no sense of smell and a bladder that could go either way: but it wouldn't fit on the poster.

Callam CHCH

Some people like the feel of vinyl against their skin, Callam likes it against his ears. It's a whole different kind of fetish but doesn't make him any less sick.

Pyre CHCH

Pyre was raised by Trappist monkeys high in mountains above Cheviot. Which explains his extremely calm demeanour, and insatiable hankering for anything shaped like a banana.

Get your punk on and have yourself a merry funkin' little Christmas. It will be the filth.
