Questions Answered

Firstly we wanted to thank everyone for their support & interest this far. We barely had the new band merchandise out of the box and we were overwhelmed with questions and feedback from friends & fans alike. 

We're still working on getting some pictures & details for you but in the meantime, we'll try to answer some questions.

Each garment is available in black or white unless otherwise noted

We've got a number of sizes per style and per colour which really does mean we have limited numbers of stock.

Rumours, Innuendo & Shouts Outs

As the Easter weekend rolls by, we've had another huge week at TungXsten HQ with models and merchandise and logo designs. We've got lots of shout outs & news to get through this week too so lets hop to it.


The Faces of TungXsten
Last month Incandescent Imaginings & Perth Metal Space summoned 12 of Perth's metal bands to feature in their 2013 calendar represented by Perth's hottest metal chicks to help showcase band merchandise. After some careful head hunting, we recently announced the winners on Facebook.

Faces of TungXsten Winners
Hollie G. & Lana B. 

Hollie and Lana will be representing us as The Faces of TungXsten. We'd like to congratulate them one more time and also thank them for doing us the honour of gracing us with their beauty. You can check out their pic's here.


We'll be sending them off with the lovely Ashleigh from Incandescent Imagining Photography for a day of hair & makeup & picture's some time in May/June. Hope they have a great day.


Rumours & Innuendo
Rumour has it that the Connor Vlahov - the culprit behind the TungXsten logo - is at it again. When we had to make the logo screen printer friendly, we lost a lot of the detail. So he's at it again; reviving the image into its former glory and working on another one that is rumoured to have a body. We can't wait to see what he comes up with this time.


Shout Out's
Firstly, we'd like to thank everyone for their support with the Faces of TungXsten promo - everyone who spread the word, offered their feedback & opinions, shared the pic's and volunteered for the job. A special mention must go out to Karla Baker for bravely volunteering - unfortunately for us, she had to withdraw her offer.

Another shout out to Ms Izzy Vlahov!!
Izzy is currently recovering from one of the most spectacular broken arms of in the history of the world. She managed to break not one, but both of the bones in her forearm, spend a night in a specialist children's hospital 60km's from home, undergo surgery and make it home in time for tea the following day. We hope she's feeling better and she heals up nicely. 


Band Merchandise
After a lot of work finding printers, designing the logo and deciding on styles & colours the band merchandise has finally been approved. We'll soon have a number of garments available in both black and white and in a variety of sizes. Items will include:


  • Singlets
  • T-shirts
  • Ladies Tee's 
  • Ladies Singlets
  • Long Sleeved Tee's
  • Hoodies 
  • Beanies 
Stock is limited due the the variety of colours & sizes. Don't miss out - you can pre-order by getting in touch with us (here, on Facebook, on Twitter or in person). We'll soon be making arrangements for you to purchase items online as well. If your size or style is no longer available, please let us know so we can re-order.

Upgrading TungXsten Merchandise

What a massive week! It's been all hands on deck since we heard that TungXsten would be one of twelve bands featuring in a heavy metal chicks calendar - with some of Perth's hottest girls representing the bands -  and we were forced to re-evaluate our band merchandise.

The Faces of TungXsten...
The head hunt continues as we search for the Faces of TungXsten - two girls who will be treated to a day of make up & pampering as they represent TungXsten in the calendar. This really is Perth's heavy metal scene showing off - local models, local bands, local businesses working together to show off some skills, some merchandise and make some connections along the way.

I can confirm, we do have one Face of TungXsten in mind, but we're still looking for the other - all you have to do is post a photo on our Facebook Wall or send us an email. The photo shoot will be on a Saturday in May or June. The purpose of the calendar (besides the hot girls) is to showcase band merchandise. We've got some details here if you're interested or you can contact the photographer at Incandescent Imaginings.

Behind the scenes... 
On a personal note, we've each had a huge week of work and family (even managed to slip a wedding in there & a trip to Adelaide) which we capped off on Saturday night when we played at a private party. It's always great to blow off some steam and play amongst friends.

We've been looking for screen printers...

And failing. We're currently waiting to hear back from some companies, lets hope they can deliver on time.


We've been arguing with technology....

And actually winning - for once! Who would have thought it would be so difficult to get these logo's ready?! 
On the plus side, now we know all about converting and editing vector files.


 And we've been designing some TungXsten shirts.
Sneak peek? 

The design for TungXsten's band shirts
Big shout out to our resident artist Connor for the design.
Another design getting a test run through the screen printers.
Note that the logo's on the shirts don't have as much detail as the design in the photo above? The shirts are printed using a single colour - either black or white - where the logo in the design is using two tones. Decisions, decisions.

 It's a work in progress, but you get the idea. It's been a lot of work and if you didn't know us any better, you might even imagine we know what we're doing! There are also some plans for slogans around the corner - make sure you remind us.

So there you have it. Heaps of stuff going on and heaps of stuff yet to do. We'll be announcing the Faces of TungXsten very soon so if you know someone who's got what it takes, who can follow a photographers instruction and who is brimming with self confidence, then we want to speak them. Make sure you come and hang out with us on Facebook some time - we always love to hear your feedback.

Metal Chicks Calendar

Perth Metal Space and Incandescent Imaginings are currently organising their 2013 calendar featuring twelve of Perth's heavy metal bands and the rockin chicks that come with the local metal music scene. 

We've just received news that TungXsten will be featuring in the calendar. 

Admittedly, the boys themselves will not be pictured - they just don't have the legs for it - which is why we are looking for some sexy, confident rock chicks who are ready to become the face(s) of TungXsten. 

The purpose of the calendar is to showcase band merchandise on the hottest chicks the local music scene has on offer and so the head hunting begins! 

No experience necessary but it will help. The photo shoot will be held on the weekend to accommodate working hours. 


It's still early days so we'll be releasing some more info in the coming weeks but we can confirm that TungXsten will be hand picking the lucky models for the gig. 


If you're a rock chick - or you know someone who is - then we'd love to hear from you.

You can contact us through Facebook, leave a message below or send us an email at tungxstengroove@gmail.com

It Pays To Know These Things...

TungXsten In March

Summer has gone but TungXsten are busier than ever.
Well summer has left us behind but we've been far to busy to notice at TungXsten HQ. We've had a massive couple of days trying to shake off the cob web's and tune up the vocal cords as we prepare ourselves for a few gigs at private venues this month. There's nothing we love more than playing live in front of fans - we get the warm fuzzies just thinking about it!

Not so long ago, we got our hands on some amazing new recording software and despite the learning curve we have managed to record and remix some of our favourite songs - you can find them over at Reverb and Facebook. We're hoping to release some more recordings in this month of March.

Not to mention that we thought it was time to expand our repertoire and so we've been working our butts off behind the scenes learning some new cover songs, which we know you're going to love.

TungXsten have also been trying to find our way around our new blog! When someone first mentioned "blog" we thought it sounded like a good idea. What we didn't think of was how huge it would turn out to be. If this your first time here, then you have to stop by our Feedback Page and tell us what you think.

We're also very excited to let you in on a little secret....

TungXsten are now officially hosting our very own Podcasts!! You can now listen to us online right here as well as catch up with the latest gossip and news.

Behind The Scenes At TungXsten Headquarters

We've had a busy one at TungXsten HQ this week as we've been working on some new and old songs. We've been remixing and re-recording some of our old tracks including The Dream - which you can listen to at Facebook and Reverb - as well working on getting some new sounds.

There's been heaps of action behind the scenes as we've pieced together our new blog - thanks for joining us - and stuffed it full of TungXsten goodness. We hope you can come back soon and hang out with us - we'll be adding some sample tracks and lots of other news & goodies real soon. Make sure you go & visit our music video page before you leave here today.

Recently we've celebrated a momentous ONE THOUSAND FANS over at Reverbnation and encourage you to get over there where you can find our playlist (and sign up for our mailing list).

We want to take this opportunity to invite you to show your support by joining our blog (on the right) and coming along regularly to make comments & contribute. We would love to have you come and hang out with us on Facebook where you can come and mingle with like minded music lovers.

Thanks for stopping by today and stay tuned...
