daveyaviator  said about 5 years ago:

Fuck it. Everyone laugh at the retard...jose, how come you can see that but not me (or anyone else?)


daveyaviator  said about 5 years ago:

Oh...cheers paulie

That pub is actually The Strathfield Hotel, jose. The main room is called the platform 9 bar - it's a kinda railway station bar of yesteryear theme, gas-lantern light fittings, old red leather train carriage seats in the booths, the old-school wooden rotary slat station signage on the back wall, dark mahogany tables and stools, etc.

We thought it would be appropriate artwork cos we're all old carnce.


josejones  said about 5 years ago:

I'm gonna hit that pub the next time I'm in Syd.
Does it have Pokies??


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

i've been to that pub. and never returned.


al  said about 5 years ago:

...tonight at the Old Bar.

Come & celebrate...life.


McGauz  said about 5 years ago:

really dug Seconds.. what a top band. the little additions of keyboard melodies, and the vocals were great


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

seconds are one of the cleverest bands i've ever seen


josejones  said about 5 years ago:

I [heart] seconds 4 EVA


cracked_on_corn  said about 5 years ago:

For fucks sake...

GO> GO>> GO>>> to Seconds Myspace page and listen to the song REMO. It's a killer! It'll make ye smile, and shake yer leg a bit.

Then GO > GO >> GO >>> to Golden Mean Myspace and listen to the song SWEET CIGARETTES and behold, a band snap frozen in 1994 guitar pop/rock wonderland. It'll make you remember when Triple J used to play great music nearly ALL the time.

Then GO> GO>> GO>>> to the Old Bar tonight and check it all out.


daveyaviator  said about 5 years ago:

Thanks to all who ventured out to the shows. Much fun was had, much beer was drunk, and my already considerable love for Melbourne town has increased ten fold...


al  said about 5 years ago:

twas indeed a grand trip.. shit you guys can drink.


maps  said about 5 years ago:

i believe that's what they do best al. oh, and play a few decent tunes too.

but yeah, them fellas can put away a beer or 70. kezza could do 70 on his own!


al  said about 5 years ago:

next time get a brewery to sponsor the tour


josejones  said about 5 years ago:

I owe you fuckers a couple G&Ts.


burgerman  said about 5 years ago:

Noice work fellas. Twas great to let my ears bleed for a while. Special mention to Al for the top mixing. And of course, special mention to the 22 jugs o' beer. May they rest in peace.


Rad  said about 5 years ago:

It was a pleasure to watch GOLDEN MEAN @ Ding Dong last thursday night & then Sat @ the Old Bar. I couldn't make it to The Commercial on Friday night as I had to rest my liver from the previous night's playtime. I heard that the amount of booze sunk wesside WAS disrespectful to livers worldwide.
Dirty, chunky, sweet & beautiful guitar stuff with, well, booty shaking beats & honestly inspiring tag-team vox. Be happy to have Golden Mean on your bill whether punter or player.

It was a pleasure to watch TELECOM @ Ding Dong last thursday night. I'm sure that they would have gone down an absolute treat @ the Northcote Social Club on Friday. Couldn't make it - see above.
These guys were channeling some serious energy into their ENTIRE set at Ding Dong. I don't know - vibrancy of youth or a pact with the devil? TELECOM's brilliance & colour mask a devastating kinetic energy.

It's all too much fun.
