Good question! Well, we’ve all been pretty busy with our new bands. Tommy has been pushing out tunes with Damn The Empire, who feature Bram and Rory from Yidcore/Rags to Rags and Damo from Dead Like Geneva. You need to check them out now at their crapspace page and give Tommy shit for not sorting them out a website of their own yet!! (edit by tommy: of course DtE *have* a website now: http://damntheempire.com)
Me and B2 have also recorded the Protest! (note the website) demo with Scott from Forefold, who we decided would make a good second guitarist, so in the words of the Spice Girls, two become one….no wait, three become four. Anyway, you can download it for free at www.protesteverything.com.
Ok, shameless band pimping over – BDD, in the midst of the other stuff going on, are also putting together some new material for the as-yet-untitled, yet-to-be-determined-how-long record. Our aim is to have it recorded by the end of the year to be released (hopefully) by the end of the year (if Pee Pete agrees) and for us to be able to tour the ass off it through summer.
In the meantime, Queenslanders book your tickets for LAGWAGON at the Arena in Brisbane and the Sands Tavern in Maroochydore on the 15th and 16th of November ’cause BDD are the main support!! Also, joining us in Brisbane will be the mighty Forefold.
What an incestuous lot we are!!

Hey there! So long time no update, sorry about that. Masses of cool things have been happening: weddings, dogs, moving to new cities, parties, Fauxs last show, the list goes on. Anyways, I guess everyone is wondering when the hell BDD are gonna play another show or release another album. All we can answer that with is, sometime in the future, not too distant, not too soon…does that make sense?
BDD has taken up our lives for a bloody long time now and after playing a shitload and releasing two albums we thought it was time we took things a bit slower. So, we will have another album out someday (if it kills Pee Pete!) and we’ll probably play sooner than that.
In the meantime, as the Melbournites amongst you might of noticed, Tommy now resides in sunny Brunswick and will be at an Arty show or 20 soon. He’s been buying USB doo-hickeys and has been laying down some hXc licks (to the max) which will be kick the lot of you on your ass in some shape or form soon.
The people who call themselves Brisvegans may have wondered who the hell Protest! are. Well, Protest! consists of me (b1) and b2, Dave from the Quickening and the elusive Green. We’ve smashed out a few show and smashed even more beer. Keep and eye out for us. We don’t have a website, but I’m sure you’ll find us on that shitpit of a ’social networking’ site somewhere…well, damn it, you will, but you’re smart enough to search and find us – right?
I want another vegan calzone…

Thanks Adelaide for having us down last weekend, we had ball! It’s always great to be in a town with people that come to gigs, talk to you and just be ya mate! Awesome. The vegan food at Bliss and Zen Cafe was top notch too.
Big thanks to Footy and Laura for letting us crash and to Pete and Mel for putting a stella bbq on!
Good times!
