Steve Albini, 'Run' and Purplene

Rage, Australia's longest-running all-night music video show, invited STEVE ALBINI to program his favourite videos while he was out here touring with Shellac. Much to CHARGE GROUP's surprise, the legendary sound engineer and anti-record-industry rascal picked 'Run' right near the top of his epic list of selections.

Later on in the eve too was PURPLENE's 'The Battler', aptly befitting of the almost 10 years to the day since the mighty Purps went to Chicago to make their wonderful final LP with Steve himself. Excellent.

Charge Group & Oxfam: together at last

The CHARGE GROUP boys have gleefully leapt at the chance to have their sticky hooks of 'Broken Sunlight' featured in Oxfam's latest "100 Chilli Seeds" campaign. We think it fits like a dream, and a licensing agreement that's about as soul-warming as any band could hope for. Check it... 



..and there's also word of another CG track featuring in the next Oxfam campaign. We'll keep you posted.
