Doing a gig Last sunday when paul says 'hey charlie, check this out, this'll get'em going'. I expected some sort of blistering banjo lick or the intro to the next tune, instead he flicked a switch and activated his luminary tricolour beacon of a banjo, hilarious!

Its stout season again
Yup, its getting into the long harsh perth winter here again ;) so it was time to break out the old stout recepies, here are the two currently on offer Formula X and Brand Z, both similar recepies appart from one key ingredient.
Pepsi challenge....
Last friday we got two pizza's, one from Stones and one from Hero's and did a pizza challenge. Stones is a gourmet pizza place in north perth run by a serious chef and has all sorts of international awards and Hero's is a place where if you show up with your underwear on the outside you get a free pizza, so two pretty different sides of the spectrum. Have to say it was pretty close but Hero's came out on top this time,

Hovawart in action
Fionn's breed is a hovawart, german hova = house, wart or ward = guard, so houseguard, and you can see it in everything he does. Here he is checking for anything suspicious out the back door.

St. Pats Shenannigans
We had our usual slew of giggery yesterday on the 17th, some quotes of the day from punters:
"Any chance of whisky in the jar", right after we played whisky in the jar.
"Excuse me, can you play some more of that Rod Stewart music"..............eh..............
"Do you guys play any irish music"? To be fair that lady had just walked in at the end of a set whilst we played mustang sally, a song adopted by irish bands on account of the Roddy Doyle move the Commitments, but that movie is 20 years old now so the link is not as relevant, when I said "What, we have been playing irish music for the last 8 hours", I think she was even more baffled than I was"
