Friday Night Fun with The Roobs

Condolences to The Bittersweet Kicks who have had a death in the family and consequently won't be making it to Tassie to Play this Friday night, October 21.
The Roobs will still be there (the show must go on!), backed up by The Demotions and a surprise mystery opening act (its such a mystery i don't even know who yet! Mystery? it's shrouded in the shit! real cloak 'n' dagger stuff! no kiddin'!)

Man, I love this weather today! reminds me of bein' 18 years old, when all the girls were pretty, ya never had to get up early for work & ya got change from 5 bucks for a six pack.
Anyhoo, hope to seeya Friday night and we'll do our best to make you feel like that too.

Next Gig

Howdy all,
our next gig is October 21 at The Brisbane Hotel with The Bittersweet Kicks.
As far as I know we'll be on earlier, so this is a perfect op for those of you who miss our shows 'coz its past your beddie-byes time.
On top of that, this will likely be our last show this year. We're takin' a break to put together a new set.
Our lovely bass player reckons the Bittersweet Kicks are a cool band, and she's a woman of some discerning taste.
More info on this gig next week anyway.
Have a rockin' weekend whatever you're doin'!

Gotta Get a Gun



Thanks to blinkeygrange for choosing our version of the Barracudas tune "Gotta get a Gun" as the backing track for some fine surfin' footage.
This is from our EP "Sweetheart of the Garage", featuring our original drummer Pin Basset.
