Deaf Wish last show, Yah-Yah's Sat 29th

Deaf Wish are calling it a day this Saturday as Nick Pratt aka Soul Boy is moving further west to Perth. He's opening up a cafe with his woman i hear. Good luck Nick! Also playing is Teen Archer and The Stabs (They have some killer new tracks). Really going to miss seeing Nick and Jensen out-heckle each other.

I've heard they have a lot of new recordings that will hopefully see the light of day in the near future.

If you don't go to this show, you should move to another city.

We've got all the same stallholders as last night plus a bunch of newies, with stalls over three rooms (so there's more space and more stalls too).

Reigning Sound Tribute Band! Sunday

Sunday 21st of February

Que Paso

Reigning Men (Reigning Sound Tribute)

"There aren’t many people in Australia who have actually seen North Carolina rock and roll band Reigning Sound in the flesh and it’s looking less and less likely each year that they’ll ever make it out here to Australia. Well there is a way you can come close to the experience, and that is to get down to Yah Yah’s this Sunday night when Australia’s one and only Reigning Sound tribute band, Reigning Men, hit the stage and blast out the hits of Greg Cartwright and Co. I’m not sure if they take requests but they’re really really good. They’ll be joined by Chris Altmann of Vandas fame and his new band Que Paso. Reigning Sound, I mean, Reigning Men, this Sunday 21^st February at Yah Yah’s."

Opens 5pm

Bands on at 7pm

FREE ENTRY

Fucking cool!

Yah Yah's

Crate Digger Record Fair at Yah-Yah's

Went to this today, scored some good records off Dan Distort, drank some beer and watched The Breadmakers. A perfect sunday arvo i'd say.

Digger & The Pussycats/TAPE MAN

So Geelong won the Grand Final- i got stuck on a train full of footy fans, i got asked by an old drunk guy "Hey mate where's your beer?"

Right now i'm sitting at my friend Jimi's house watching Box Elders live on the Gonerfest live stream. Sonic Chicken 4, Box Elders, Nobunny, Cheater Slicks. Today is a good day.

I went to The Birmy last night to catch Jack Petty dj'ing, it was a good crowd- lots of good requests like Whitney Houston!



Then i swung by Yah-Yah's to catch Digger & The Pussycats-

Yes, that is 3 beers taped together.

Pony 2am for The Ghost Of Tape Man!
