Short set.

Totally!

Something from the Butcher Shop or Salamander Jim catalogue too...

Beasts is nothing without Tex.

I'm going, can't wait. Agree with you too, Pollypix!

Short set? The set is two hours long.

What colour medal do you get for 5th place?

boobie prize?

Imagine how good a Kim Salmon ''best of'' tour would be.

Subjective tour title then, Polly.

Beasts is nothing without Tex.

Maybe. That being said I enjoy Spencer P. Jones, Brian Henry Hooper, Kim Salmon albums a lot more than anything Tex does on his own.

That could be the best thing in the history of the universe, __v.

Hey Polly - has Tex's health improved since that Snowy Mountains festival ?

I love Kim Salmon stuff. Have seen a few Escape Commitee gigs, but Spencer's more than often too fucked to perform.

but Spencer's more than often too fucked to perform.

Some of these are his best performances...mind you I don't get to see him as often as you Melbourne folk (I assume you are Melbourne folk).

I've enjoyed the few Brian Henry Hooper gigs I've seen too. His solo albums are fantastic.

relevance....looch?

That was one of the only reasons I did...Ohh and I'd never seen Midnight Oil live before.

am i the only one who prefers listening to the cruel sea over beasts?

For an extended period, no. Beasts are great and all, but their cack:good ratio wears thin the more you listen. I don't get that so much with Cruel Sea.

Wave Aid set was great, except that half the crowd was watching some cunce play cricket up the back of the pitch...

Yeah...I do recall that cricket match. I hate sport. I'm ignoring the Beasts comment. Thats just me though. Now that I think about it maybe Beasts listeners are the minority, I mean Cruel Sea DID have the hit didn't they.

LaxCharisma said 1 hour ago: Yeah I couldn't find it either Ron. The story behind ''Pearls Before Swine'' is pretty funny though.

That is it.

I mean Cruel Sea DID have the hit didn't they.

Well, I'm more a 'Chase the Dragon' guy than a 'The Honeymoon is Over' guy, but I just find that there's more duds in their library than awesomes, that's all.

I prefer Gentle Ben's version of Execution Day, tbh.

I prefer Spencer P's version to Beasts.

Never heard Gentle Ben do it.

Actually don't think I've seen Gentle Ben yet.

So what's all this then?

Gah!

my brother went and saw that out in the burbs last week.

he said it was, 'pretty good.'

if anyone wishes to wet their pants involuntarily then you are welcome to stand outside my bathroom while i sing hey porter in the shower. i sound fucking awesome.

He is almost as big a cock as me!

He should just get the Dum Dums back together. Second best version of Ring Of Fire ever.

Australia's own ''Man in Black'', Tex Perkins, is set to replicate Cash's shows with two performances at Laverton's Port Phillip Prison on Monday, August 31.

Video of the prison show...

Hey, I've got 2 tickets for sale for tonight's Melbourne gig at the Prince of Wales. Can't go because of a family emergency.

Can meet you at venue tonight to pick up tickets etc.
Any takers?

C'est la vie , SALMON will record it with a guest vocalist one day. Who should we get?
Tex?!

Lol, well, if you insist

Does this guy play in electric flu?

Who? Tex Perkins? No.

Tex Houdini (me) does, yes

Should get Tex Perkins on drums.

No.
