But you can relax now, and know there is a few more new shows out there; that’s if you haven’t visited WoM or the SC3 Facebook group, which you most definitely would have by now.

More Melbourne video

I promise this is the last of what I have. These were done at East Brunswick with my phones camera once my other camera had died, so the quality, both audio and visual aren’t overly special. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy them.

Edit :: Found another one this morning ( 21/05 ).

MAY 2007 - The Web of Mimicry store is now open. Only 3 days to go til I’m off til the East Brunswick show. Expect more photos early next week, possibly as early as Saturday night.

The Rare Records in-store is between 2-3pm June 13th. You have to buy some SC3 treats beforehand from Rare Records to gain access with a special key.

Path of Most Resistance Tour

MARCH 2007 - Some fresh live video and audio is out there. Have a look around :

+ Live video from Petaluma, CA

+ Audio downloads from Bungle Fever [ You'll need Flac Player to listen ]

And with the USA shows over for now, the vinyl leftovers will be on sale shortly. Fingers crossed.

FEBRUARY 2007 - Okay, after an extended break from my duties here, and in the meantime forgetting to renew the sc3music.com domain, I’m glad to say that this site is back, and looking better than ever.

I’ll do my best to add more content in the near future, including better live photos and if possible, newspaper clippings.

Onto the good stuff, I’m sure you are well aware of the live shows SC3 will be playing shortly, both in USA and down here in Australia. Add to that an in-store appearance at Rare Records in Melbourne, with a date yet to be announced. Planned for the tour of Australia is the release of the ‘Path Of Most Resistance’ compilation.

Another album being released in the not too distant future is ‘Book of Souls, Folio One’, plus some more Limited Edition 7″ vinyl.

Stay tuned for more information!
