Sat-Sun 10am-5pm

Now with OUTDOOR SEATING!

Wooly Bully’s dedication to emulating all things Goner extends to us compiling our very important, very disorganised Top Ten lists for 2011. You can still get a lot of the items mentioned in store at Wooly Bully, too, right here in 2012. What a coincidence!

1. Total Control - Henge Beat
2. Terrible Truths - self-titled 7”
3. Dick Diver - New Start Again
4. UV Race - Homo
5. Bitch Prefect - Holiday in America 7”

7. GG King - Esoteric Lore
8. Case Studies - The World is Just a Shape to Fill the Night

The Spits’ new LP, “which I haven’t listened to yet but I know will be killer”, and the Outdoorsmen - Drunk Driving 7”, “that I only discovered in 2011 but it came out in 2010 so it doesn’t count”.

  [I know this is cheating but I have to retrospectively add the Dick Diver  New Start Again LP and  Terror of the Deep Permanent Weekend LP to my list, after thinking about how obsessed I got over them this last year. I just didn’t want to be a carbon copy of the guys’ lists but I guess we all have good taste. MM]

We now have eftpos and credit card facilities.

And gift vouchers!

Wooly Bully is open from Tuesday to Sunday. We sell and recommend amazing records, incredible comics, Supreme coffee and lots of choice food and organic drinks.

We stock a carefully chosen range of records - LP and 7” - covering garage, punk and weird stuff as well as some country, blues, pop and classic curve balls. There’s some local cassette tape action too. NO CDs!

Our comics include vintage freak-out kooks, classic and contemporary undergrounds, and mostly in single issue format… one-shots and series. We’ve got some TPBs and beautiful graphic novels and books and the odd magazine too.

Our opening was huge, thanks to all who came down and a ‘specially big thanks to Super Wild Horses for playing (and ending with their own rendition of ‘Wooly Bully’!).  We got some sweet coverage of the opening day/night in a few places:
