FACEplant - American Fool - Live at Panthers, Penrith

This is clip from our east coast tour with The Divinyls. Each night we were opening up to empty rooms, very loud, unbelievably heavy - funny billing huh?! I don't think the crowd coming for The Divinyls got to see any of the set. Anyway an old classic from the vault. Enjoy!

FACEplant - Blood Wine - Live at the Black Box

On our last tour with The Screaming Jets, their manager approached Dave and said that we shouldn't be touring with the Jets any more, we were too heavy. This song really captures the break between old and new - the point in which the people that came to the over 18's gigs stopped coming and our underage audience tripling. We were now too heavy for Newcastle, but Sydney was an eager market. Listening to this song 13 years on, it is still fucking brutal!

FACEplant - House of Little Deaths - Live at The Palais

This is an obscure one from the vault. We only played this one once to about 10 people. I dont know why this didnt stay in the set list, I loved it. Maybe it was the fact that Dave and I turned Paul's beautiful acoustic piece into a monstrous wall of sound. It was an hilarious night. Dave and I had four quad boxes between the two of us, we were playing to a near empty hall. Enjoy
