The proposed 25th Anniversary Ill At Ease Tour planned for later in 2020 has been postponed for now but will be rescheduled for 2021 due to COVID-19 throwing the live music scene into turmoil.

The details are a little hazy, but I’m pretty sure I wrote this "Survival techniques for bands" in response to a request to do a talk to a group of bands in Mt Gambier.  This was in response to a request by a host of a local independent music radio show there and who also played in a band.

In response to the devastating bushfires across South Australia, the Adelaide music & arts community has come together to produce FIRE AID, a bushfire fundraiser!

First thing, Merry Christmas from The Mark Of Cain and a Happy New Year to you all. Secondly, many thanks to the volunteers fighting the many fires across Australia. And the Third... many thanks to all of you who came to see us perform the 30th Anniversary of Battlesick.

To celebrate the 30 Year Anniversary Tour of Battlesick, we are re-issuing Battlesick on Vinyl through Golden Robot Records. The vinyl re-release contains the original track listing and order from the 1989 release and has been re-mastered.

The Mark Of Cain return to the stage this October performing their debut album Battlesick in its entirety. Originally released in 1989 via indie Adelaide label Dominator Battlesick sounded like no Australian album before it or since.

This year we will be heading out to celebrate 30 years since Battlesick was released in 1989. We have been rehearsing and intend to play Battlesick in its entirety later this year in a series of shows around Australia.

Today marks 10 years since TMOC entered Broadcast Studios with Evan James in Adelaide to record what was to become 'Songs Of The Third And Fifth'.

Battlesick, The Unclaimed Prize, Ill At Ease and Songs Of The Third And Fifth have all been added for either download or streaming access.
