Just a fan.

Of this band....





That's all.

Oh and currently making an amazing tape on these 4 pink and white tapes I got from an op shop in Newcastle. Super Limited Edition!

AARGHBOO! Mixtape

Once my sister watched The Blairwitch Project alone in our livingroom, it was dark and I snuck up beside her and yelled boo in her ear. Oh, how she screamed! I have never been forgiven for it. Here, I try to recapture that moment. Happy Halloween y'all!

I bought this mixed tape at a zine fair a few years ago and it continues to bring me joy. It introduced me to one of my all time favourite songs; 'He's got the power' by The Exciters. It makes me smile everytime. It also introduced me to using the word el stupido....

I don't know who made this tape. Mystery mixed tape maker where ever you are thank you!

This Is Not Art. It was great! But super super tiring.... If you came to our store and bought a tape or chatted to us or just kind of saw us in the corner of your eye and thought hey, that looks alright.... Thanks! You made two ladies very happy! It was so lovely to talk to other people about something that we love.
So Mixed Tape Project is Cassexx too if you are confused.... We have decided to become a legit cassette making duo!! So if you are in a band and want a tape release get in touch fool! Cos we want to hear your tunes! And put it on a tape!
