Holy crap! On Friday March 11 Woodland is going to be blessed with the fuzzy, punky, thrashy sound of the legendary HARD-ONS. Formed 30 years ago, Ray Ahn and Peter 'Blackie' Black (and currently Peter Kostic) have been pumping out sugar-coated pop, punk and metal scorchers pretty much continuously since then - and they're nowhere near quitting yet. Officially Australia's 'most commercially successful independent band' with sales of over 250,000 records (ain't Wikipedia grand?) The Hard-Ons recently released the spectacularly-titled "Alfalfa males once summer is done conform or die", a 40-minute, 19-song explosion of in-your-face Hard-Ons man mousse. Make sure you're there on Friday March 11 when the trio give Woodland a taste of their peerless high speed electric fuzz.

This Friday sees eclectic Brisbane five-piece The Honey Month make their Woodland debut, backed up by our favourite indie-folk-choir ensemble Inland Sea.
Continually expanding their sound since 2008, The Honey Month now count piano accordion, melodica, musical saw, kalimba, mandolin, double bass and ukulele as parts of their musical arsenal. 2011 looks set to be a big year for the multi-instrumentalists, so check 'em out before we get too far into it.
Ditto Inland Sea, who are still springboarding off the Triple J love they received late last year. They've been earmarked for greatness by everyone who's seen them - and no wonder, given the sweetness of their group harmonies.
Doors open at the special time of 8pm for an earlier show than usual (bands over by midnight), and tunes between acts will be provided by Big Sound programmer DJ Asho. Pre-sales have been going like hotcakes, so if you're turning up to get a ticket at the door, come early!
