Hello everyone!

Yes we have been quiet lately, but that's all about to change again!

We finished filming the clip for Rule of Three which will be out in a couple of months...

And yes we lost a couple of members (to babies and 9-5 and credit cards), but Brad and I have knuckled down with some amazing creatures lately and we'll be playing again in about a month so stay tuned!

We're busy saving up like crazy to get to Europe mid next year and fingers crossed the US late next year!!!

Help us out by going to our web store and checking out some of our merch :)

http://www.mzannthropik.bigcartel.com/

And I'll leave you all with a picture of Mzzy as Jane the Ripper!!!

xox bloody kizzez!

The next day we got back in the Van and drove to Geelong to play at the Barwon Club and stay with one of your Mz Ann Family crew memebers the amazing Saf!!!

I got really sick in the bus and vomited all over the Barwon Club when we got there... I passed out upstairs of the venue for about an hour and I swear it is haunted!


Mzzy + Saf


Ben Miller and Damien with our good old Geelong Friend Ice Ninja!


Drew making us sound good no matter what! hahaha








Thanks to the beautiful boy who took these mad photos!

When we got back to Safs house Miller picked up the Violin from last years tours and decided that NO ONE shall sleep!!!





The next day we drove back to Melbourne for our Revolver show!

I love this photo so much! all my best friends in one!


Mzzy Saf and Vesper!

On the Sunday we woke up bright and early and super excited about playing Moonee Valley Festival again this year!!!

we even signed some shoes!


Brad and I decided to Kram it to Kram while they played

That night we all celebrated and Miller and I ended up covered in lipstick ;)

After hanging out with awesome cats and dogs in Brisbane we played that night at Club Snitch...
The crowd was insane!!! We were so surprised by everyones insane energy!!!


people were screaming the lyrics, hand clapping, groping our private parts and going insane!!! It was such a great way to start our QLD tours!!! thank you Brisbane cats, you all really made us smile!!!

Our good buddy Oliver from Wish for Wings, check them out in our top friends!!! Awesome band :)

The next day we made our way to the Gold Coast...



The boys decided to spend almost 3 HOURS in Timezone!!! So I went for a walk and had my entire travel case searched in City Beach after walking in, changing my mind and walking out... Sorry City Beach, but you can kiss my ass!


the show made up for it! as did the awesome amount of nachos backstage!!! and the free soft drink machine that the boys figured out how to get ONLY SYRUP out of! needless to say they were running around like mad hyper lunatics for the rest of the night hahaha! Thanks to Devilution and The F1 Elevens for playing with us!! both awesome awesome bands and people!



Miriam Vale was up next!!! Another 500kms north of Brisbane!!!

Current mood:Super Happy
So it's only our first night away from home and already I'm finding myself needing to touch base in cyber world ;)

Thank gosh for laptops, wireless internet and friends offices to chill out in while everyone else inc the cats and dogs are snoring and I cant sleep as per usual!

So here goes - Day 1

We left nice and early, which almost didn't happen after the van hire company forgot to tell us we needed to pay upfront... thankfully our good friend Nick bailed us out with the cash... we love you Nick!!!

Once we got close to Newcastle we took the wrong turn and ended up on 'Thunderbolts Way' instead of the Pacific Highway... It took us 5 hours or so before we realised we'd taken the wrong turn, but by then we were enjoying the journey so much we decided to stick to it... despite missing out on Brads Nans quiche and mudcake in Coffs Harbour! damn it!



Miller powered through the drive all on his own, this wasn't by choice, but because we had no other drivers for this leg of the tour!



About half was through the journey I got a little bit excited over a hotel we found with a giant sized guitar... I mean QLD is know for its giant this and giant that but GIANT GUITAR!!! COME ON!!!



somehow everything became a kangaroo in disguise... trust me on this one... the cows... well they were just kangaroos in cow costumes hahaha and the cars? they were kangaroos... and the cops on the road? ... kangaroos dressed as cops! hahaha this was so funny (you know one of this had to be there jokes...) until we actually saw THE KANGAROO HOTEL and decided it was a Kangaroo pretending to be a Hotel... and wet ourselves laughing... we kind of... hahaha







I was mesmerised by a school I found along the way...



anyway my sweethearts, I better try and get some sleep for tomorrows Brisbane show @ Snitch! ROCK n ROLL!!!



xox Mzzy on the road!

Current mood:  blah
I've been trying to find the on/off switch lately for my brain, but i'm not sure where it's located... A friend told me to think of everything that happened in my day backwards when i go to sleep.  But lately there has been no desire to sleep... My eyes won't shut until the sun starts to come up... is there something wrong with me? I'm dreaming of washing my hair over and over again and then i'm surrounded by empty shampoo bottles and the steam is incredible... I want to quit smoking. 

We're about to start touring our Album S.O.S around Australia and we can't wait to see all of our friends and fans in other cities and towns again and play for you all! All the dates are up on the myspace and a few more are being added here and there :)

There's so many wonderful things happening in Mz Ann Land at the moment...

The CD will be available Australia wide in stores in April and on itunes too... we'll keep you posted :)

I've become deliciously ear obsessed with IAMX please check out his myspace!  It makes my spine tingle especially the song "Spit it Out"

We're playing with Hanzel und Gretyl (USA) later this year so stay tuned for that one!

We're still working on our doco dvd which will hopefully be release around sept!

Miller has almost finished building his own studio at home and it looks amazing!  I'm so proud of him!  It's going to be amazing recording in our own studio at our own pace...

My friday night club @ Club 77 on williams st in Darlinghurst Sydney is re-opening under a new name... "JUST?" on the 27th March and i'll be running it with two beautiful friends of mine, the myspace celebrity/beauty Skarlett and the silly yet wonderful Clay!  More details on that to come ;)

Do any of you have any advice on how I can quit smoking and start sleeping?

Much love xox Mzzy

Current mood:  sleepy

What if Rubiks cubes were the puzzle boxes from Hellraiser?
What if iPods became self-aware? What if Jean Claude van Damme made a
TV series about a flatulent, crime fighting cat? What if every
household was run like Big Brother? What does any of this have to do with Mz Ann Thropik and their debut album? Nothing, but…
What if Siouxsie and the Banshees, after releasing The Scream, decided to follow a faster, heavier path to complement their dark and ethereal music? What if Babes In Toyland never disbanded, but became a more coherent and accessible, yet equally angry, musical force? What if Marilyn Manson never became totally self-indulgent and still had the vitality and passion of his first album? What if Ministry
evolved to create a more harmonious, pulse pounding sound, rather the
unrelenting, aural barrage of their final albums? Would any these sound
like the new album from Mz Ann Thropik? Or would, in some way, all of
them?
S.O.S. is a rollercoaster ride through wonderland. It
starts slowly, with distress calls from fans and a short, atmospheric
remix; before lurching from John Woo style smoothness and brutality, to
Ray Harryhausen like jumpy excitement, to Tobe Hooper anger and pain,
to David Lynch love and desire, to songs for films that have never been
made. Mz Ann Thropik have never been a band to hold anything back, and
they let it all flow on 17 tracks that could be the soundtrack to their
lives. If there was a soundtrack to my life, it would more like Woody
Allen and star a less amusing version of Hugh Grant. I’m glad I can
escape my own movie and spend a little time in world of Mz Ann Thropik.

There you have it :)
The tracks on the album finally revealed!!!
Not even two weeks to go and the whole album will be up on our myspace for your listening pleasure!!!

Here are some secrets about the songs:

Queen 222
222 is the number of a door located somewhere in the world...
I've found myself walk through it twice now by total coincidence.

Skin
Some of the lyrics to this song were written by Brad and Mzzy by accident
via text message one day, many moons ago...

Rule of Three
Not only does everything happen in threes, but...
For some strange reason Mz Ann Thropik are ruled by the number 3
No matter what we do

III
In numerology all the first names of Mz Ann Thropik members add up to
the number 3

Flesh Crawler
This was the last song we wrote for this album, only a few weeks before it was recorded

S.O.S
Listen closely to the bridge in this song... what do you hear?

Mzzy records all her vocals in complete darkness, it's the only way she can conjure up the past and its emotions.

The interludes on this recording were re-mixed by Miller using old Mz Ann Thropik songs.
