Adel: Outrageous Claims = Band Night

Featured Replies

For affecianados of fine music, tastey beverages and convivial company who happen to be in Adelaide this Saturday night ...

 

 

Fancy an evening of party rock for your listenin' and dancin' pleasure?

 

Yes? Read on

 

No? You need a hobby – how about going to a pub and being entertained by a band or two? (excellent idea)

The Gaslight Tavern

36 Chief Street, BROMPTON

11 August

 

2 bands ... 8 ‘til late

 

Don't settle into squaresville man, rap with the hep-cats where the hip-hop does the cool thing daddyo ..

Or something like that - I think that's how you young folk talk nowadays …

 

 

 

 

Yet another shameless plug for the band I front …

Actually, I think it's the same plug. With some extra words … but, principally, the same plug. Yes.

 

 

 

Now with the added dimension of stuff-ups …

 

We'll be doing a couple of new songs that we've only added last practice – that's right, you heard correctly … new songs that have only been practiced once.

 

Actually, that's not strictly true – we did go through them a couple of times at practice … but last Monday night only … no other practice at all .. honest

 

It'll be great … there's some stop/starts in there that the drummer buggers up every time (it's really funny). It'll be even funnier if he stuffs it up on Saturday. Of course, it won't be funny if I stuff up … just sad really.

 

– but you'll miss the fun if you're not there!!

 

 

 

 

It's true … It's happening again … and I'm still up front singing larger than life and (roughly) half as terrifying.

Maybe a third.

 

 

 

 

The Gaslight were so pleased with our critically acclaimed performance last time that they've asked us back for a reprise gig.

 

 

well … when I say they "liked" us …

  • punters (inexplicably) kept buying drinks
  • they had to put on an extra bartender
  • nobody died listening to our music
  • we packed up and went home at the end of the night
  • punters (naturally) kept buying drinks
  • punters (inescapably) kept buying drinks

 

More party rock abounds at the Gaslight on August 11.

 

 

 

Two musical ensembles will be providing for your listening and dancing pleasure:

 

Pale: Keyboard/vocals duo (honestly, that keyboard's the size of a frigging aircraft carrier)

Reverb: what can I say? One of Adelaide's premier cover bands, we just rock!

 

 

 

Giants of Science, Beatles, The Beautiful Girls, Jet, GreenDay, U2, Blink182, Robert Palmer, Wild Cherry, Eskimo Joe, The Police ...

What more could you possibly ask for?

 

 

Gary Moore, Jimmy Eat World, Icehouse, Robbie Williams, Ashe, INXS, John Cougar, The Dandy Warhols, Maroon 5, Stevie Wright, The BusBoys …

Does it ever end?

 

 

 

Elton John, The Angels ...

look, I think we've had enough now …

 

 

The Romantics …

no … shut up now.

 

 

WolfMother

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No cover charge …

 

No IQ test …

 

No time for love.

 

 

 

Sorry, that might actually be a lyric from a song.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Gaslight Tavern

Pale are up first.

Reverb starting 9:30, 10 o'clock or so.

 

 

 

Bring your drinking cash

Bring your dancing trousers

Bring your friends

Bring your friends' friends

Bring your Mum

 

Bring that bloke with the string holding his trousers up who collects bottles out the front on Wednesdays

 

 

 

 

cheers,

Slapper
