I had a chance to drop by the Jams this week and see some action. We're all sending out Healing Thoughts to AB (Get Well Soon) and we played a bit of Bondi Cigars stuff in his honour.
Ah, but the point of the post is to play some stuff by the House Band at the Jam, as Jim Finn, Jill Louise Hardy, Harry Brus, Adam Pringle and Brian 'indiana phoneix' Cain, along with our very own Mr Wizard, rocked out the late set.
Like all Jams each night can be its own mix of the shambling, rambling and fantastic, but when you have class musicians, you can get some spectacular moments.
Here's Harry doing Walking The Dog
Jill doing Angel from montgomery. Brian is getting a mean tone from his custom Mike/Amp setup and even Mr Wizard gets a run!
Howdy Folks. Last night saw us playing our first gig at the Matraville Hotel.
The Matto has a lot of TV screens.A lot.
And of course, last night was Footy night and the Roosters (EDIT: I dont know my League Team Colours very well...) Rabbitohs were playing. We were fortunate that the crowd decided we were as much fun as the football match (boy they love them some football down South :-)
But once the football was over, the dancing commenced. Some of it may have been teetering over rather than dancing, and I found out way to much about Jakes weekend with Handcuffs (what's said at the Pub, stays at the Pub) but a good night was had by all.
After what seems like an age without a gig (2 weeks!! Egads!) we're baaa-aack.
Yes, we're still in trouble because of Carl's Chair. Dontcha love controversy? After a week of watching Mr Sheen, I have learned a few things about PR and Telling it like it is.
About now I should be pointing out that our veins are filled with Tigers Blood and Papal Ninjas will fly from our fingers at the next gig.
The Pope practising his Ninja Powers with the Swiss Ninja Guard.
Oh yeah, the gigs on Friday 11th, 8pm at the Matraville Hotel in...yep...you have learned the ways of the force, Matraville.
Ninjas Get In Free (they always do). Mind you, its a free gig, so dont let not being a ninja stop you.
'Allo my Boys, its Roger again. Some very hefty blokes in overalls visited me this morning to discuss your 2nd album from last year.
My boys my boys, what was you thinkin? Why couldnt you stop at Nuevo Retro? I already had to explain away Yamanote Line as being 'Jazz Fusion Blues' and dont get me started on that bloody song about Ned Kelly.
Now you know Old Roger here has had his share of run ins with the Fuzz, but my lads, all thats behind me now and I'm on the Up and Narrow now, so imagine my horror when I was handed this citation on account of Carl's Chair?
Now dont worry, your old mate Roger has sorted them right out by telling'em you're working on a new album and everything is back to normal.
It is, right? Right?
Oh my lord, I think I better have a lie down.
Dont do this to your old mate, after all we've been through together, its enough to make me take a Bex Powder. Now you may have got off lightly on this one my lads, but you'd better put that Mandolin away my boys before the Flying Squad pays another visit.
