I wonder what they'll do for Revolution #9.

This sounds awesome.
The $129 ticket price is less awesome.

I thought they'd been ''playing'' the Beatles for years now!

pyke used to play in a band called phlo'em that went pretty hard. he can definitely do the rock vocal thing.

there was an fbi benefit (?) gig a few years back at the hoey with lots of people from sydney bands doing the same thing, split over two nights. was pretty great. matt downey did a totally killer 'cry baby cry'.

this has trainwreck written all over it

pass me my spew bucket.

...oops too late

The White Album

The Beatles, in fact.

um...I think something went wrong here?

Article here

hahaha!

sloppy work Mr Donovan.

i doubt he had anything to do with that graphic.

The Beatles, in fact.

god, you lot are pedantic. fixed!

Irrelevant when you put your name to the article.

Well, you know. Even The Age website got that one right.

x-post

OMG. what do these dickheads have anything to do with the beatles over? the lot of em are about as tripped out as a bag of potatos.

I remember seeing You Am I do a decent version of I'm So Tired once.

Not making any excuses though - this is a shit idea of the highest order.

Josh Pyke's monotonal vocal delivery will not only make me and my guitar weep but sleep as well.

why rogers why?

That was 'The Quarrelmen' Hetro, a play on the name of John's first band which was ''The Quarrymen'.

Wish I went to that now, cause I sure ain't paying $130 to see this!

who's playing drums?

i guarantee no-one will pay $130 for this. If they did it at the annandale for $30 they would have more luck. fuck the orchestra off and just play the songs...

hey monkeyman, your right actually. It's been a while since I read the bio!
Yeah $130 is a bit steep.

lots will pay it's the beatles!

should be at festival hall in 1964 uniform mode. see that would be cool. this well lame. Then again theres that Pink Floyd cover band that advertises on the TV. they should get a TV ad!

hey teacher leave them kids alone. I mean, hey kids leave the teachers alone.

The more and more and more and more I think about this the more and more and more and more it makes me a bit mad.

To be honest I think it's just the Phil Jamieson thing. The other three guys, although I am not a fan have gained some kind of national success for having skills but fuck me. Will it be Jamiesons job to open and close the curtain, smiling around the corner looking for his mum in the crowd to wave to.

Presale on now, front row tickets available if you're so inclined...

I wonder if ECSR will be playing X's Aspirations or Turtles' Woodhead in 15 years. This sounds like a terrible idea.

$130 may be expensive but hiring a 17 piece band probably is too

Yeah but giving Phil Jamieson a 17 piece band is like asking that old channel ten presenter Quentin the basketball in a wheelchair the oppurtunity to race for a formula 1 team.

Waste of time.

yeah he is a douche for sure.

so is that living end fucker.

dunno even know who josh pyke is.

rogers is OK, but not $130 OK.

I'd rather put the money into an ACDC ticket. Then again, idiots like me are the reason they can still play arena's. ''Yeah fuck it, I'll go to see 'em, just to say 'I've seen 'em ''

they should do a muscles-style ''NO INDUSTRY'' to justify the ticket price.

needs more Ashley Naylor

At least the brohound from the living end can shred.

tim rogers is a dodgy codger

Anyone got the presale code? Someone has asked me.

It's number 9, number 9, etc.

hahahaha

wow, the haters are out in force. $130 is rich but it sounds like they're pulling out the stops... and if you don't think it's a good idea then I'd suggest not buying a ticket. personally i think rogers is perfect for this and if you need proof see luxury of hysteria... as for the rest if they can keep up should be a good night out!
