Hi Stu,
Went and saw the Beasts of Bourbon on Friday. Brilliant gig. It was great to see Spencer (one of my favourite Aussie guitarists) playing (especially since I missed his solo show – due to illness). Two highlight songs (Little Amimals & Thanks)were off their new album. Other highlights included a backdrop malfunction during the first encore and that the gig was being filmed. What made the night more memorable was that they were supported by my favourite Brisbane band, Sixfthick, who put on another psycho performance. It looks like that I will be down in Adelaide early July, hope to catch up with you.
Cheers and more beers
Hi Dave, I still haven’t seen Sixfthick, but I always enjoy Gentle Ben & His Sensitive Side. Good news that you’re coming down this way, we’ll definitely catch up.
