Organiser and longtime M+N contributor Tim Scott has assembled a 10-band mixtape in the lead-up to this weekend’s Maggot Fest III. The fest spans two days at Collingwood’s Gasometer (Friday, November 2 and Saturday, November 3) and one in North Melbourne (Sunday, November 4) split between the record/comic store Wooly Bully by day and the nearby Town Hall Hotel by night. The 30-band bill includes overseas guests Useless Eaters (US) and The Raw Nerves (NZ) alongside a generous stack of acts from all over Australia.
The mix collects unreleased tracks and demos as well as selections from recent and forthcoming releases. Highlights include Taco Leg’s (pictured) short and to-the-point ‘Shut It Down’, Ratsak’s amped-up charger ‘Bullhead’ and Nun’s homage to disturbing filmmaker David Cronenberg (just in time for Halloween).
Tickets for Maggot Fest – including options for Friday, Saturday or both; Sunday is free – are still on sale now. Each day’s band-by-band line-up is here.

sweet tunes!
great mix. really like that gentlemen track.
Hey mess&noise, can you make it so's these things can be played via the soundcloud app, not just embedded? I can't be fucked plugging my laptop in.
what's the point of us hosting it then?
Hey mess&noise, can you start a streaming service to compete with Spotify and Rdio? I'm unhappy with both of their services.
Gentlemen track is from our self released cassette titled ''Sex Tape''.
Hit me up if you want one, only a handful left !
