Maybe this will help you get through your month wearing that face, Macca:

 

 

Caravan Club are doing their first festival and it is going to be a rip snorter - in particular three of my favourites are playing - The backsliders, Jeff lang and Chris Russell's chicken walk.

 

More 80's rock ...

 

 

Went to absolute sensational gig at the Caravan Club on Saturday night - Gregory Page - solo.

Only 40 people in the audience - must be the time of the year. He was captivating and made you feel he was singing to you and you alone.

( any Sydney'ites - he is on at Leadbelly Newton on the 12th Jan - if roots ( if 1930's jazz is your thing - he is the bomdiggety) 

 

 

A couple from 'Ozark Mountain Daredevils' & 'Blackfoot' 

More 70's Southern rock ...

 

Not sure if anyone has seen this...most of you will know the song and have seen some versions.

...but this is a most fantastic clip, really well done.

It took me some time into it before I realised what was happening.

A brilliant performer... and physically he looks like a cross between Sean Connery and Mel Gibson.

A couple from one of my favourite bands from the 70's ... the first track is more meaningful whilst the 2nd is a rocky little number that the band obviously enjoyed doing (watch for Shirl's signature move, 2 mins in)

 

 

Couple from 'Fall Out Boy' ...

 

RIP Chris Cornell. Another legend gone too soon. Very sad.

This is late news, but RIP Robbie Souter who passed away last week on the 11th May... he was the original drummer with the Dynamic Hepnotics, as well as playing with Mental As Anything, Slim Dusty and numerous small Sydney bands.  Was a lovely guy and will be sorely missed by the many who knew him.

okay...so I was interested and went along to see The Tiger Lillies on Sunday night. They have been doing their act for 27 years !

Truly bizarre and truly brilliant. (most of the night I was thinking - "what the hell am I watching?")

 

New kids on the block ( a statement - not the horrible boy band)

If anyone gets a chance to see the Teskey Brothers I highly recommend they do. They are the bom-diggerty.

 

 

Great Post, Nut. Me love The Teskeys.

Saw them at the Holler festival at the caravan club on a warm Saturday afternoon. They blew everyone away.

They are selling out show after show  - after seeing them I understand why.

Devastated at Chester Bennington's death at age 41 ( apparently suicide). I am a huge Linkin Park fan - especially their early work  - nothing quite matches up to Hybrid Theory. RIP Chester

 

Double devastated - Not only Chester from LP died this week, The Caravan Music Club is shutting its doors from 2018.

It is highly successful, the sound is great and the room is great however it is in the hall out back of the Oakleigh RSL and the Caravan Club proprietor wants to invest money to make it better but they are not interested and he also wants to take over the running of the bar ( which is diabolically slow and inefficient) - whilst giving the RSL the profits from the bar, Again they weren't interested. I respect returned servicemen but geez the board of this RSL are crusty old farts.

Not many bands go from playing a cider festival in Wonga Park to selling out 4 gigs at the Corner in 6 months.

I agree with Nut - check 'em out if the chance presents. Their album is worth the investment too. Going the vinyl seemed a good idea at the time but it's a [censored] to play in the car !

Reckon the OCRSL will regret this in the not too distant future. It will be sad to see that great old room & stage fall into disuse when it's been so vibrant. No doubt the Caravan Club will rise from these ashes but where ?????

The roll call of acts they've had there is amazing. A couple of my fave gigs there were The Black Sorrows where the indefatigable Joe Camelleri spent a Sunday arvo blowing the roof off the joint and Joe Creighton's "Into the Mystic" show which is a cracker.

Peter Foley spent big money getting the sound just right and the artists love him because he looks after them ( apparently most venues don't). 

I know he is actively out looking for a new venue but it is a real shame to me as there is something really special about the room - it just works.

^ Mr Jeff Lang playing there tomorrow night

 

Couple from Donald Fagen ...

Went to the gig last Saturday night. Just Jeff, his guitars and his gizmo's ! He was freakin' amazing.  If there is a better guitarist in Australia I would like to know his name.

i'll pay the Sniff'n'the Tears Drivers Seat vid.. top tune
