My God,

You guys are representing at the Wacken Festival, thanks a ******* lot. Now we are all going to look like a bunch of ass clowns.

We all have begged you to stop playing your crap music, but you keep persisting.

I can tell how you guys got on the Wacken Festival because it's Pay to Play, I can't wait to hear about how you guys played a horrendous set and how you got booed off stage.

**** sake, give up. You're absolutely horrendous.

Cheers posers.

Tourettes next shows are .....

The Oxford Tavern Wollongong, April 8 with Bug Girl
Inches From Life - All Ages Fest, Sydney April 22

As always the thought of leaving this place now that I am here seems absurd. Somewhere in the bowels of Sydney international airport as I type, Ross and Ash are all angles through the customs gate back out into the world and I sit here on the coast on my new laptop hoping that I make the grade in their absence. Working on my tan line and eating hard green apples........read more

hey Michele has escaped Canada and Whitetrash is finally updated.
There are also some new photos up from the studio!

Feb 4 2005,
It has been a while since this page has been updated. Tourettes have been hard at work in the studio in Canada. The new CD will be a monster! 13 tracks have been put to tape, not all of which will end up on the disc. At least half these tracks have not been heard before so even those of you who have been to shows or have downloaded demos are going to be in for a grinding. The album will be mastered in London in mid March while the band should be in LA around this time.

Dimebag RIP

December, 2004.
Hey there SiKFuKs. We have been busy here building a new Tourettes web site. The new site will be up in about 2 weeks. If any of you want to contribute artwork or similar stuff that we could put up please email and let us know : mail@tourettes.com.au
Thanks

November 17, 2004
Well well well! Tourettes are in the studio in Canada. Calgary to be exact, Check out Night Deposit Studios. The good news is this, Tourettes are recording 13 tracks for an upcoming release. This is scheduled to be mastered in January 2005 and ready for human consumption sometime after that.
The bad news is this, Tourettes have unfortunately been left off the 2005 Big Day Out roster. This means that although the band had thought to be returning to Australia for the BDO and other dates they now won't be. Sorry to all those of you who have been looking forward to some Australian summer gigs. The band will be hanging in the Northern Hemisphere until the job is done.
Stay tuned to hear more and make sure to keep checking out White Trash and Uprooted for all things tasty, in the Stuff Menu.

November, 2004. from Dayna - Lee "March 2004 was the day of my reconing!...
I met Michele backstage at a Sevendust gig and
spent alot of my night chatting with her about 'nothing'
and followed her around as if I was her shadow!
Michele and I seemed to 'click'...
The picture based on Michele is approx 1 metre squared.
It was created with my speciality of shattered
magazine cuttings that I had been saving!
This pic of Michele took approx 20-24 hours! But it felt like
5 minutes, I had a blast creating it and have even had
a buyer interested in paying money for it!
Michele you're worth more than money could buy!
I'd never sell my memories!"
-Thanx Dayna-Lee

Jan 25th 2004.

I have got so much to tell ya'll that it is gonna come out in the wrong order and over the next couple of days. I think that we all ran on about 2 hours sleep a day and pure rock love. Well, as always I can only speak for myself. Before I get any further I wanna thank our crew,our sonic family...

Karen Marree : TM Supreme.
Britt Young : PA / Shitkicking princess.
Chris: Soundman
John : Guitar tech.

And most of all to all the Sikfuks who made it in and got us to where we are today. Just knowing that you guys made up the front line ? I cant fully articulate how that made me feel without repeating all that I have told you so many times before.All I can do is thank you....

Oh Man! We got a dressing room and all! Little sign on the door with our name on it...such a buzz!

How did I feel?

"FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Later SF4L.
Michele.

Tourettes had a big week end just gone where we played 3 gigs in 2 days. First at Newcastle's Cambridge Hotel on the Thursday night, and then at the Metro theatre early Friday supporting Strapping Young Lad and later that night at Candys Apartment night club in the Cross. ( see Uprooted for the dirt on all the bullshit ).
Strapping Young Lad were fine gentlemen and we had a great time at the Metro. Thanks to Gavin Hanson for that booking!

September 23rd 2003
Melbourne copped a dose of that good ol' Tourettes stuff over the past week end. We played three shows the best one being at the Tote on Saturday with Blood Duster. Friday was chaos at the Green Room when Michele "regulated" an annoying punter. Thursday startled some sleepy popsters in the Espy lounge bar. So there you have it 12 hours each way like the caged rats we really are and fuckin' noisey quaint but reasonable hutch in St Kilda.

Tourettes video for "Stand" was also released over the past weekend and was played at 3.30am ish on Rage saturday morning. For those of you who saw it and want to see it again and those that haven't yet click here rage guestbook and request Tourettes "Stand" now.
Why not get a quick look now at "Stand"

And we are on our way to southern parts tomorrow. Yes Tourettes hit Melbourne with a vengeance. 3 gigs in three days 18th at The Espy, 19th at The Green Room & 20th at The Tote with Blood Duster!
Once again thanks to the crowd that came to Candy's Apartment. An excellent night and hopefully some leads into festival touring for us here in Tourettes.

---

August 28, 2003.
And what a gig it was at Candy's. Once again thanks to all you Tourettes fans that made it out on yet another rainy Sydney winter night. But fuck it right! You wanted to rock and the pit was awash in sweat anyway so why should a little rain give you any problems.
And if you were one of the unlucky ones to miss out we are giving you another chance - by popular demand Tourettes are back at Candy's Apartment (22 bayswater Rd Kings Cross). September 11 - with Four Bolt and guests.

---

Tourettes next gig in Sydney will be August 23rd at Candy's Apartment in Kings Cross. (This used to be the Kardomah Club for those of you with thinning hair!!). This is going to rock Sydney. Nunchukka Superfly and Mz Ann Thropik are playing too, so make sure you come down. We promise to mess you up.

Hey thanks to everyone who made it down to the Annandale for Tourettes EP launch last Thursday we all had an amazing gig and the night was a huge success!!! Check out the listening room below and download a MP3 version of Stand - the first track off Detestimony. Tourettes are going to Melbourne the weekend of the 12th/13th July to play both the Tote and the Green Room. Melbourne folks should get along and taste Tourettes for themselves.
Check out what Drum Media had to say about the Detestimony Launch

Tourettes have finished their second release and it is now in the manufacturing stage. Get your copy next week at the launch. Annandale Hotel Thursday June 26th 2003.

---

May 9, 2003.
Tourettes have nearly finished mixing what will be an eight track e.p. named Detestimony. This will be released in June 2003 with a release gig at the Annanadale Hotel Sydney 26th June and subsequent tour throughout the eastern states. Look out for videos on Rage and Channel V. One for "Stand" a killer track off the new e.p. which will surely pound you into submission.

---

March 2003.
In February Tourettes were in Milk Bar Recording Studios, Sydney working on our new release that will be out mid-year. The sessions went extremely well and the record is going to be a mother fucker! Look out for information on gigs to promote the forthcoming release. We will be touring the eastern state of Australia and are shopping the new recordings O/S in hopes of seeling a deal outside of Australia. If you want to be on our mailing list to get gig dates and free downloads send an email to mail@tourettes.com.au so that we can work things out a.s.a.p!!

May 2002
We have just come to the end of a fairly long stretch of shows so we are hanging it up for two months to go into the studio and record some more tracks and work on a new live show.
We will certianly be letting you know when our next gigs will be.
One thing is for sure we will have a new release in September and will be touring to Brisbane and Melbourne as well as playing our hometown Sydney to rev the shit up out there!!
