Welcome to the online home of the Genius Genus, the Ingenious Genius, those whom carry the Genius Genes. Do you believe in magic? Yes? Then piss off right now, because you're just a chicken nippled pony patter. There is no magic, only illusion created by people smarter and better than you. Formerly highly decorated Wiz Kids, they have blossomed into full blown Wizards of their respective skill sets, which are as diverse as they are death defying in their numerosity. They don't call them Superheroes, they call them contemporaries (except for Superman, he's just a wank off). The Blasterlings are the physical manifestation of a high-five, the sneaky reacharound and the open handed slap at the same time. A jumbotronic, cherub pissing fountain of wit biting reverse kowtowing with a difference. Pass us your apple and we will polish it to outer space for you.
All five members not only live outside The Box, but, in a Jesus-like medical miracle defying scientific explanation, they were actually born outside The Box. A team of A-Teamers, they know the secret to help the medicine go down and it ain't sugar. They followed the rainbow, killed the leprechaun (he put up a good fight though), used the gold to buy drugs, guns and illegal polar bear skin monk robes (complete with headpiece) and renovated the surprisingly large pot into a fully fledged arse kicking Think Tank. Having trouble visualizing them? Think Power Rangers but less gay. Think Ninja Turtles but better fighters. Think Brady Bunch but no one is related and they are all hot —and that's not a coincidence but a natural by-product of a steady diet of Genius for breakfast (because that is the breakfast of champions).
So relax in the knowledge that you are safe in the hands of the Gods. And we're not talking old, white bearded Gods in nighties, we're talking the old school Greek posse of sexy, and scantily clad, young Gods because that's something you can truly believe in.

Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2010/Poster & Print Campaign
link In tandem with our pals at 10Fold, late of good old Richmondo , we've been bollocks deep in rolling out print collateral for this year's Festival over the last few months. Sticking to our bleary eyed, star fucking ethos, our required contributions were right up our proverbial alley; you'll have been well and truly inundated in promotional materials for late night red light delights like The Festival Club, Rich Fulcher, Frisky & Mannish and the Headliners revue recently, we're quite sure. -
Falls Festival 2009/Branding, site and social networking campaigns
link Last year saw us teaming up with the dudes at Frontier on pretty much the entire Falls Festival '09 kit, caboodle, shebang and so forth- that'd be the illustration, look and feel, website, social networking campaign, merch and shitloads more. After the success of the entire grand endeavour, we'll be getting amongst it for the guys again this year- keep an eye on the Blaster Blog for all the Falls action as it lurches its way into existence. -
Man Abroad
link Blaster founder, moustache impresario, lady magnet and all around magic-eyed genius, our very own Dethbat, AKA Nick Lewis, has been roaming the Chilean wilds for the last six months or so on a humanitarian mission to spread the Doctrine Of Blasterism to our South American Friends. Philanthropically, Nick has been posting regular doses of Weapons Grade Genius at his Blogspot as a service to humanity- we'll keep you updated on his Earthquake Punching adventures as he enters the home stretch of his sabbatical. -
Streat Magazine Shoot
link Another formative Blaster scallywag, Ms Kellie 'Shocker' Gollings, is a regular photographic fixture on the mean streets of postcode 3066 and surrounds. The Shocker's got an eye for the dazzling, etching electrifying imagery out of the urban pile- her current set over at Streat is a fine example of the glinting, eagle eyed snappery she brings to the Blaster fold, not to mention her cheekily charitable nature. -
Blaster Gig Poster Challenge
link Current studio shits and giggles revolve around conjuring up alternative gig posters for any shows of merit we can actually remember attending. Because, let's be serious here, 99% of the stuff out there is just plain insulting to the music fan, innate? Recent faces have included Clutch, Howlin' Rain and The Wagons; if we can find a few saucy minutes to rub together in the near future, there could well be John Steel Singers, Philadelphia Grand Jury and Brightblack Morning Light efforts in the pipeline. -
Token Artists
www.token.com.au We've been turning out a local Comedy Mafia's load of sites for the guys at Token Artists and Events over the last six months or so; we kicked off with a well loved blog for Blaster fave and good mate Justin Hamilton, anf helped out with mini sites for Frank Woodley, Michael Chamberlin and Hannah Gadsby; we've also put together sites for Talkin' 'Bout your Generation alums Charlie Pickering and Josh Thomas Meanwhile, over at Token Events, we put together the site for the critically acclaimed stage show Good Evening.

The first appearance of the man known as The Baron has been written many times. But as i know it…it was a fateful morning and an unnannounced early morning knock at the door. “I’m here, Holgate!” he proclaimed. The lights flickered nervously, dimmed, then suddenly popped as he crossed the threshold, and as he sank Read more…

Quick, shamefully lazy and bullet pointed update on the last week or so: + Spent late last week hanging out with the guys from Broken Hill City Council, helping out with some presentation materials for an upcoming film conference. In the months ahead, we’ll be looking at the Council’s various website and social media requirements, Read more…

I‘ve worked with the Baron steadily over the course of a decade. It’s like bringing a gun to a knife fight. He brings a hangman’s sense of detail welded to a ferocious signature style. Professional as a stiletto blade, brave as a wolf, he’s a callous-handed workman with an eye on the angels. I don’t Read more…

The Blaster guys make life in the fast lane (online) just seem easy. They make spending 10 hours a day staring down the portal to hell (le computer) way more interesting; and like watching a Martha Stewart bake-aoff (sans the incarceration), they make it look so goddamn easy and fun! Since working with the guys, Read more…

In anticipation of the upcoming release of their new disc, ‘Cinema’, we’ve given The Cat Empire’s Myspazz a good seeing to on the front and back ends. Ooh er, missus. Check it out here.

Check this clip we put together for Fancy Pants Gurney’s former outfit, Neon, way back in the day. This was pre- Blaster (if you can even imagine such an unenlightened time). We shot, roto’d and painstakingly hand painted this fucker frame by frame- groove on the ever impressive MPEG-2 filtered through early Youtube compression hell Read more…

To whom it may concern…man, woman or other, When it came time to join the 21st Century and finally have a website that represented all my insane ramblings, counter culture time bombs and “wish I hadn’t written that when I was drunk” posts, I looked far and wide for a team of internet boffins that Read more…
