According to the australian pocket oxford dictionary....
e"go ; an act or time of solely indulging in one's interests/self expression............................................
" THE AUSTRALIAN BEEFWEEK SHOW '" with it's highly hedonistic values have been expressing such interests
for nearly a decade now......Obviously this choice of existance will have it's victims...With only one origial soldier that
entered this particular war zone still standing, the decision was to keep re-cruiting new bunches of self-destructive
semi-musical warlords to take up the charge..We could sit here for days just trying to think of all the past members, let alone
take you into any detail of the life that they experienced as a member of the revolving door that is "the australian
beefweek show".
Rather than bore you shittless with some trad band bio..We are simply going to run you through a brief Q and A with
the five current members.
QUESTION (1) WHAT IS THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT COME'S TO MIND WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD "BEEFWEEK"?
PETE (drums) : ahh? ok! hah hah!..... yeah man!
MULLARD (guitar/vox) : ahhh? fuck! ummm?.... steak in a schooner glass!
FRAMMO (bass/vox) : keeping the cunt in country rock!
ERROL (guitar/vox) : ahh yeah!........ that pack of deadshits!
WASHY (vox/rum) : looks like wer'e drinking tonight!
QUESTION (2) BEST BEEFWEEK GIG OF ALL TIME?
MULLARD : that would be my first one, five years ago....we played three sets and i only knew one of them!...and the very hazey memory
of bufo dipping stale bread into molten mull butter...not to mention the pantless hilarity that soon followed.
PETE : it was somewhere between peat's ridge and wollombi, playing in the mud at some fucken doof-doof with a bunch of filthy hippies!
FRAMMO : the gumball 2005..i think it was errol's first gig?..washy was firing on all cylinders that night...best performance to date!
ERROL : it would have to be the bikie pub at scone...when the licencee informs the band that it's free beers all night and is also willing
to facilitate in the flow of free rum and shots aswell!...you know your gonna be there for a while!
WASHY : the first time we ever got naked on stage at our album launch, during a cover of "chase the dragon"..this came after actually
learning a good part of the set for that night in the van that afternoon, on the way home from armidale.
QUESTION (3) WORST BEEFWEEK GIG EVER?
WASHY : the time we drove to lismore for one gig..it fucken took twelve hours to get there due to bufo's combi shitting itself..
and then about twenty minutes into the set i past out due to a hideous dose of the flu.
ERROL : my first gig at the 2005 gumball..i spent most of the set playing agony aunt to the stage manager...he was continuely tapping
me on the shoulder, venting his fury about the amount of rum and beer that was being spilt all over his sound system by our "not so in control" frontman..
MULLARD : it would have to be the gumball 2005, hey wasn't that errol's first gig?....man!!!....really rad!!!...chris was like?...fuck!!..well ya know?? fuck that's evil!!!
FRAMMO : playing an autonomy day at newy uni at 6am half cut skulling rum...washy targeted the only person other than the sound guy who was paying
us any attention..and proceeded to hurl comments like.."your so fucken ugly mate! i reckon you'de have trouble getting a fuck in a brothel" back and forth for most of the set..the innocent victim of his drunken abuse turned out to be a harmless lesbian.
PETE : man i'm in the middle of a tafe class at the moment...can i call you back?
Subculture Weekend Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November at The Sandringham Hotel, Newtown, NSW - Flash, new! big upstairs room! Mother Truckers all set to rev the engine up on Black Friday 13 November. Hope to see you there!
Thanks for being our myspace friend. We get spammed all the time
on myspace and its getting hard to know who's a fan and who isn't. If you are a fan it would be great to see you at our next
gig - see www.jimmyyukka.com. In future the best way to find out
about what we are up to is to join our mailing list.
Hey Folks, We have just added two new DEMO's to our page. Check em' out. Would love to know what you think. We start recording our album in November. Cheers, The Dennis Boys
