I’ll preface this by apologising to Demonland and other mods as this is a shameless plug with not a lot (well, nothing really), to do with footy other than the fact we have the Dees in common. I just know that if I post in the General Discussion forum, it most likely won’t reach the intended audience. However, delete if you see fit.

My band Los Romeos Oxidados are venturing down from Sydney to play at Smith’s Alternative in Alinga St, Civic this Sunday, 3rd April from 4-6pm.  Would love it if any of you could make it… unfortunately Grand Old Flag isn’t on the playlist.

No idea if anyone came as a result of my post (although we did have a good sized turn out), but in case anyone is interested, this is a clip comprising bits of our final three numbers on the day. We’re back again at Smith’s Alternative in Canberra on Saturday 28th May with a local band IL Bruto.

 

Another video from the Smith's Alternative performance:

The Dead South are more bluegrass than your outfit hardtack, but thought you might like this.

Yes! I first saw this quite some time ago and immediately loved it. There’s another guy I would like to cover named Dave Acari:

 

Very nice!   That steel guitar has done many, many miles by the look of it.

That first song reminds me a lot of John Hiatt's "Your Dad Did" off his excellent "Bring The Family" album.

Did you ever get into Seasick Steve?   I bought a "Best Of" CD but he seems to lack something I can't quite define.

No, unfortunately I didn’t. Acari, to my ears, I’d like an Irish Tom Waits… but I do get what you mean about the Hyatt similarity.

I always thought that Tom Waits should release an album called "For No One".
