Sorry for the humblebrag, but it is a mildly amusing story- I was shopping in Florence yesterday. Me and a dude in a Howlin’ Wolf t-shirt hit the door of a clothing shop at the same time. I said ‘Any bloke in that shirt goes first.’ The guy cracks a smile and we chat about music. I said ‘Do you play?’. He says shyly in his SoCal accent ‘Yeah, a little.’ Stupid says ‘Oh yeah?’ He says ‘I’m lead guitarist for Rod Stewart. We’re in town for a gig’. Nice guy called Dan Kirkpatrick. Played with a lot of people it seems.

Amazing.
Hopefully they can make it work.
Back in the ‘90s that area around Brunswick and Smith St was such a good location to see bands. Although so many sketchy druggies wandering around… I guess they’re still there, but been gentrified.

90s was big for heroin and you saw it everywhere around here.
Such a pity too.
So many local musicians that have been taken because of it, not to mention anyone not ‘famous’.
I’d give my left nut to see another One Inch Punch/Mid Youth Crisis or Powdermonkeys gig.

Great lineup.
I was a big fan of Air Conditioner’s first album, before they were cool.

Clean toilet isn’t very rock, it’s too sanitised, almost Nickleback. Give me Stinky Portallos any day.

How do people generally feel about tribute bands? Always had kinda mixed feelings… my brother is in one and I’ve gigged alongside a couple of others. I thinik it generally works better if the original band no longer exists or at least is in a very different form.
I’m going to see a Rush tribute band tomorrow. Thought it would be something I’d never do, but my curiosity got the better of me, and it might be kind of a lark hearing a band play Rush music in a Melbourne pub. Plus I’m kinda hoping I’ll run into someone needing a drummer.
Spyhole, Wednesday Nite in Fitzroy. Stagger down from the earlier closing Loaded Dog, with maybe a chilli dog from American Hotdogs(?) on the way.
Ahhhhhh,

In the old days they were epic. I remember seeing some great tribute shows from bands that went all out.
Thuderstruck and Kisstroyer were unreal.
Then you had bands like No More Chilli Jam which just played good covers.
But these were the days when you had little access to the real thing. Just Film clips, articles and the odd VHS.
