Myspace annoys me so much. So I wrote a song about it (performed earlier in the year). I thought it would be amusing to shove it on youtube. Hope you like it!

Saturday Night – What a great night!
First of all a big thanks to Jo Jo at the Idgaff for putting on such a good night complete with a red carpet and a carpet on the stage too! It was a great atmosphere and there were some great bands playing.

Personally I’d also like to say that it’s so nice to play a venue where they serve good quality alcohol. It’s been the first venue of the year where I have been able to get a brandy in a brandy glass, gently warmed and Jo Jo even served it up with a bit of honey – just what you need before getting out on stage.

The Rundown can be found on an earlier post below are some photo’s of the bands

Apart from our set (which although short I think was pretty sweet) one of the major highlights for me was Lindsey (the singer from the Australian Kingswood Factory) climbing onto the double bass which was being played in the middle bar – awsome! great band.

For details about the whole event (other band times etc) click the poster below

We are first up at 6pm and then playing are (in order)

Its a brief one but our tune “Hot chicks and roller skates” is there

On Saturday our song “Hot Chicks & Roller Skates” was heard by over 1,500 people at the Saturday night Roller Derby match (Adelaide Vs Victoria). On Monday night it could be heard by just under a million.

Channels 10’s TV show “The 7pm Project” on Monday 24th August is going to feature a segment on the Roller Derby match. Mr Quick stix and I were VIP members for the night of that match because the song “Hot Chicks and Roller Skates” was to be played when the Victorian team hit the rink. The song was played on the night, the match was awesome and the venue was packed to capacity.

The guys at channel 10 would like to feature the song in the segment so hopefully it will make it into the show.

I like writing tunes and performing on stage with Quick Stix. I think we put on a pretty good show but we’ve been thinking of some new things we might to put a bit more glitter into proceedings

We’ve been thinking of some things below are a few ideas we’ve had

1. I have recorded a tune that is intented to be played as soon as the previous band has finished I created it on Saturday and I have to say I’m pretty impressed (enclosed) Jimmy Yukka On Next

2. Maybe we a change of clothes (any Ideas)

3. I might buy a new guitar

4. Maybe some lights?

If you have any feedback we’d love to hear it!

Stay safe!
