Home Blog EP's Things to do Videos The Gallery We're off! Things to look at along the way; Wild stuff live, I treasured a double single 7" record. The free tee from Nick Dalton and his record label Half a Cow. Great backlog of old classics from alternative and independent artists. Well worn and preserved for years, this tee from The Eastern Dark was designed by Ray Ahn of The Hard Ons. I think I saw these two bands together at The Royal of Sutherland in the summer of 1987. I think this information is correct. The flip side of this legendary tee. Lying on the grass of Erskinville Oval listening to the twilight feature playing Don Walker, Uncle Bill and Royal Crown Review, I'd seen a host of bands in the tent, visited the nearby hotels and ridden the mechanical bull. I'd settled with an overall feeling of contentment. Nice. Got this tee at a blues festival at Narooma. Top Ten Australian acts of all time? Guess how my many gigs these guys have played?? It was from midnight one Thursday at the Evening Star Hotel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney in 1986 when I first saw the Beasts with Tongue House and Gyro Head. I was on stage earlier reciting poetry with three others. The tour dates for The Beasts as they showcased their 2nd album 'Sour Mash' and 1st release for Red Eye Records. More aggressive and almost as good as their first album 'Axeman's Jazz" produced through 'Green'. My fav was The Den of Penshurst. It was a side street entrance through the dayglo foyer and an easy emergence into a cool, red lamp shaded venue. It was arranged with a mezzanine level where you could sit to a side on view of the band. A rare thing. I saw Iggy Pop sitting in the Olympic Stadium alongside mum, my sister and her partner at the Sydney Big Day Out 2006. She'd just finished her shift as security for the event. My lawn bowls shirt. I gave it a go. I was more in my element performing on stage with Darol for free beer. Having abandoned my devotion to the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs Rugby League Club, I found myself playing for Western Suburbs Rugby Union Club. I'm now a solid Doggy and answer to the call 'Rubber Doggy' on the CB radio from my partner in her V8 following me in the bus motor home as we do a few laps of Australia. The author This is behind the wheel of a 1985 Nissan Urvan Poptop Whizzbang Campervan destined to be hit by a kangaroo within a matter of a few hours just out of Ilfracombe on Sunday 2nd June 2011. It was our home for months on a powered site in Longreach until put on the back of a tow truck. 'Ivan' who the vehicle is affectionately known as rests at the back of a scrap metal wreckers yard in Longreach last we saw. More about these stories later.... . Web Hosting by iPage
