The Greatest Neo Punk Electro Hop Free Form Techno Folk Metal Fusion Existentialist Rock Band Ever.

It is true. We have never played the same song twice. Like Puccini, we never repeat. In fact we rarely even listen to what we have recorded. Improvised experimental techno punk, didn't have a category when we began playing together, in fact we have pioneered our genre from it's inception. We have also recorded everything we have ever played. Since forming in 1980 as "Astral Trash" the band evolved into The Rolling Sex Beetles Experience, when the band reformed it became The New Rolling Sex Beetles Experience. This has been the most impressive phase of the Bands work. Basically technology finally caught up with our ideas and then went racing straight past us at mach 3. The band continues to produce music monthly and always has fresh tracks available here. We are continually blown out by the originality and structurally complex creations we cause. Described more as an 'emergent phenomenon' than music by our fan. We are best described by the now famous phrase "This recorded music is merely a superfluous by product of the experience" coined by Troy Planet, the bands only formally trained musician. The goal has always been to turn up one afternoon and create a fully formed improvised hit song in one take. As we have never released any music until now that elusive grail has been beyond reach but now with our music available direct to a generally disinterested public we are that much closer. We are online delivery only, CD's just end up as land fill. Go ahead, buy a copy, do something no one else ever has.

The NRSBE are:
Paul Robertson sound engineer/keyboards/lead vocals.
Christopher Herd loop samplemaster/guitars/vocals,
Troy Planet, lead vocals/guitarist/flautist/bass/horns/drums & keyboards. Oh, and Didgereedoo (Yidaqi)
LIVO sporadic lead vocals
Josh Bond Bass/tech are the bands human elements. Numerous guest artists have appeared over the years but refuse to be named.

Attention Fan. Important News. A News Flush, if you will.

News Flush! Stop what you are doing and intuitively seek out this obscure blog and read it immediately!

Dear fan, news has just erupted from the congealed mash of ectoplasmic nonsense that is The New Rolling Sex Beetles Experience that the band is reforming for a rare live gig this coming Monday 12th of January 2015. This monumental event will be at the Mullet Creek Palladium from high noon on the said Monday.

Unfortunately as the bands' whereabouts is a profound secret you are not invited nor will you be able to listen to the bi-product of the event i.e. the recordings of the music created that day. As per usual the music will be a purely emergent phenomenon without notice or pre meditated composition of any kind.

The New Rolling Sex Beetles Experience have been making this unique noise since 1984. At least, well actually since before then, 1981 to be exact, before 1984 we were simply called 'Astral Trash' in antithesis of Van Morrisons' skilled musicianisms of a similar name. At that time we thought nothing could be a more distant opposite to 'Astral Weeks' than us, we were right. Some band members were still using power tools and kitchen appliances as they couldn't afford instruments, let alone play them. Soon after that, Paul swapped his beloved orbital sander for a small Casio drum machine and we started to become the total antithesis of popular music itself and thus needed to change the name of the band to reflect our fresh, fully musical direction. We kicked the Kenwood player out of the band too, he was crap, same old dough hook in every song. We found a better mixer and started making recordings.  

Since that time we have continued to become the antithesis of popular music and yet have aspired to synthesise such audible contradictions. However, the reconciliation of such extreme opposites has been a long, polytonous and ultimately, very noisy process. Even though synthesisers themselves have improved immensely, it hasn't really helped the actual musicianship of certain band members but what the drill player lacks in theory he makes up for in pure expression.

You may agree that 1984 is an exciting foundation year, if the NRSBE had a little shop we could put up a sign saying 'Est. 1984' but we don't have a little shop because we have vowed to transmute capitalism into something that actually works and become musical lights in a new free world where mendacious, ignorant, psychotic, greed addled, self entitled, talentless cunts are only allowed to perform light duties in the band tea rooms until their attitudes improve, instead of being allowed to run amok, tyrannically wrecking the world. By the way, how the fuck did that happen? According to band archives, no band members were informed in advance of this development. It's a fucking outrage. One we seek to address musically on Monday.

The world is a complete mess if you haven't noticed. We aim to achieve a cosmic global transformation by creating such an extraordinary musical vibration that all evil assholes will lay down their Jimmy Choos and their stupid (What colour is it this week? Strontium?) credit cards and involuntarily crawl on their bellies to the Mullet Creek Palladium and beg to join the band. Some say this plan will never work, but what would they know? Fools rush in where anglers fear to fish!

1984 is a groovy irony with it's Orwellian overtones, double plus good ey? Looks like music, sounds a bit like music, but it's not music at all!! Some might cynically say of the NRSBE that is, if cynics were allowed within the Palladium which they are not, so dream on critics and naysayers this event will occur without your comments or your blessing. That will teach you a lesson we will never forget.

The New Rolling Sex Beetles Experience is the greatest Neo Punk Electro Free Form Fusion Folk Rock Expressionist Baroque Pop Hop Rap Classical Deconstruction of Rock and Roll of all time. This is an undisputed fact. The NRSBE own this highly contested genre. We do what we do for the good of all humanity. If we did not perform this great service to the akashic rock & roll record, who else would? The universe would be a much darker place without the unbridled free creative expressionism of The NRSBE. Take our word for it because you have to. If we did it in public we would be banned, scorned and possibly become popular and make money. This would be a travesty and would possibly create a rift in the space time continuum. We can't have that now. We are too busy creating riffs in the space time continuum.

You can't listen to our music, as much as we might like you to. Well actually, Paul doesn't want you to, basically, and he has all the masters. Hidden in a secret cavernous vault under the Palladium itself or in a draw somewhere in the house, plus, he doesn't like you. Either does Josh and Livo just doesn't give a flying fuck, he recently mentioned that he has never heard of you, in fact he doesn't even believe that you exist. In fact, do you exist? In any meaningful context? That is ultimately for you to decide. Until then, you are out of the band. Welcome to the band.

Some members of the band have insisted that as the music is not actually forbidden, it should be compulsory listening for all. This has caused quite a stir amongst band hard liners who adhere to the idea that no one should ever hear the music unless they are actually playing it.

There have been suggestions from certain members of the band that the rebellious attempt to release our music as reported in the press, (well reported when I pressed publish on this blog a couple of years ago), was futile and gratuitously ambitious as our music is crap. Those band members are now officially out of the band. So are you, if you had already forgotten.

If however you can find the Mullet Creek Palladium next Monday you will be welcomed back in to the band as long as you bring a large quantity of beer and have a deep seated musical ambition and you'll need to bring some petrol money. You do not require any musical ability however,  this has never stopped other band members from participation apart from Planet who is the only formally trained musician. A point he gently reminds other band members of with his convivial hourly newsletter.
We do not discriminate against anyone even the non musical, one only needs to appear and contribute enthusiastically. Most band members don't have a musical bone in their body. Pauly couldn't carry a tune in a bucket yet he has played and sung on over a thousand tracks. Every one an unrivalled masterpiece within the genre. The petrol is for the fire. Obviously. We may need to light some guitars. Or travel home. Anything may happen once the muse is unleashed as Chris is coming from New Zealand where he now lives in exile after repeatedly being out of the band. Some say he has a new band in New Zealand called the New Zealand Rolling Sex Beetles Experience but this is mere speculation and a substandard gag that is also now out of the bands' cannon of high quality humour. 987 volumes that will never be published as no one in their right mind could take them seriously.

So there you have it. A long winded, highly unanticipated message from The NRSBE. Arguably the Greatest band in the history of music. Whilst this is arguably a universally agreed fact, some vital questions remain about the actual music itself. These questions are answered by the idea that the music is regarded as a superfluous bi product of the experience. The music, which has been technically referred to as 'shit' or 'what's that fucking noise?!' is recorded only for hysterical purposes. Let hysteria be the judge! say the Augurs of the band council, quantum machinists and lapidary club. Mostly the 'noise' is recorded to prove that something as rare and unnecessarily absurd as The New Rolling Sex Beetles Experience actually happened. Generally, no one believes we are a band at all but we are. Over thirty years of recordings in the same studio is mathematical proof enough. You probably wouldn't like our music anyway. So don't worry about it. No one who as actually heard it has liked it, aside from Pinky Beecroft. Who is also out of the band, for having never been to a jam. He does however possess the only rare recordings held by a member of the general public. Unless he has turned them into ashtrays for smoking guests.

We don't make music for superficial popularity. We just do it because it is a small seemingly insignificant triumph, true freedom of expression. So that somewhere in the world, very occasionally a group of people are truly free to express themselves without censorshit. Suck on that American Idol, Fuckwit Factor and every other moronic ritual humiliation show on this messed up, brain drained, drone hypnotising TV planet. We are your opposition, we are The New Rolling Sex Beetles Experience!!!

BTW. We would have spelt "Beetles' like 'Beatles' because it is obviously a direct reference to them but Paul kept having a reoccurring dream that Ringo Star broke in to the Mullet Creek Palladium and threatened not to leave until we let him join the band. As we have never had a drummer and in fact drummers are banned from the band unless they play something else, we deemed 'The Star Factor' too great a threat. So we have kept the location of The Mullet Creek Palladium a secret ever since. Paul McCartney jammed with us once but he's cool. Pretty good drummer too, well the Casio was doing most of the heavy lifting. He promised not to tell Ringo where we jam.

We would also like to mention that we respect the copyright of other artists despite having improvised so many disturbing parodies of their music.

NRSBE statement imminent.

Again the title says everything that the band needs said at this time.

The Suggestion That the band might actually be releasing its music was erroneous.

The title says it all in this post.

WAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE DUDE!

The intelligentsia of the NRSBE Head committee to the AUGURS of the BAND recently stated that they believe releasing the music to the public is in direct opposition to the point of the band, other members take a radically differing point of view, Grand Supreme Overlord of the Augury said, "The immense value of the music as both an historical time capsule whilst also becomming an enormous contributor to the global economy is a travesty! these recordings should only ever be played live in an art gallery or recital hall.

The NRSBE led global recovery will commence upon the band making it's music for sale to the general public. The release of the music will be a boon to the people of Earth. It may even help Bono to end world poverty. Until it's release date none of the music will be allowed to be heard until an internet petition of one billion people have signed to receive our infrequent emails.

Artists in Australia understand the power of the medium and the potential for Recording Artists to finally have direct commercial control of their distribution, they will be able to create similar success to the phenomenal impact the NRSBE have had on music, the world, the global economy and rock and roll.


The NEw Rolling Sex Beetles Experience are The Original, Original, Free Form Electro Punks formed in 1984 in a secret studio known only as The Mullet Creek Palladium. The band have only ever played in this one venue and have recorded everything they have ever played. Over three thousand hours of noise.

"We always planned that the sheer volume of noise and the indicators in the name would yield some potential data related reward in the future, now, with the internet the search terms that are the name of the band are very conspicuous one's indeed, we were way ahead of the curve on this Dude." Said Chris Herd samplemaster, guitarist and least verbose member of the band.


They have never played the same song twice.

This blog can report that the NRSBE have signed a distribution arrangement and will be available in itunes by the southern hemisphere summer.


Many famous guest musicians have jammed with the band but refuse to be named. Until now.

Epic Jam Review

Whilst this isn't a jam per se the purpose of todays gathering at the mullet creek palladium is an epic moment in the history of the baND. TODAY WE HAVE COMPILED SOME RECENT HITS.
THE MOAST RECENT JAM YEIDED A MASSIVE CATALOG OF NEW MUSIC.Music so original and high brow that only great musical scholars of the future will discern and celebrate it's genius. The emergent attunement to the muse. Live and happening. This is the living of life brothers and sisters. Having an experience that is eleaTED AND CELEBRATORY OF LIFE. Even celebratory of the adversity and the harshness of realities. There ain't no rock n roll without the blues and there aint no blues without the western scale. The western scale was founded on the rock of the church. The church created rock n roll. plus a few reborn satyrs from the ancient colleges of the Dionysian grove of learnings. We are that grove, the archtypes are within us.

So next jam will be happening as a webinar. you can get it for free. but you must buy the music.

Blog Jam

So commences the blog jam. As the band has always sought to ignore any kind of promotion. This is a new part of the range of emergent ephemera you may collect here from the full coffers of The NRSBE.
The greatest jams of all time are in the vault. We will now release them to the public. Over three thousand hours of original improvised brilliance.

Now, hanging on by a slender thread of histrionic entropy, the band stills plays, still records everything, never learns any of its own songs and always makes up fresh ones on the spot.

The one take wonders of free form electro punk hop fusion with a light flavoursome jus.

Go ahead, buy one of our recordings. Do something no one else has ever done. Be the first in your city, your country and yes, your planet. To own one of our recordings. We don't recommend that anyone listen to our music as it is a superfluous bi product of the experience. We just say the option is there if you would like to try to imagine what it was like. By listening to the unique NRSBE.

Next time you are at dinner with that irritating prat you don't like and his gormless supercilious wife and he turns to you and says again, "I'd really love to be the first one ever to do something really important." You can say, you have. Obviously this offer only extends to only one customer. Beat the rush.
