Hey Guys Hope u r all well. I haven't added a comment for ages... & just saw the recent clip of Dancing in the Storm. It's awesome. Where was that taken??? Anymore dates for later in the year as yet??? You know us die-hard fans won't let u rest now!!! LOL LOL V xoxo
Very true, boys! RIP to them both. When I explain to my kids the fact that the launch of an MJ video clip alone was a prime time event, they cannot believe it. And Farrah, a Pop icon from one series on Charlie's Angel!! Go figure. 2 people that captured the imagination of people for generations. RIP MJ & FF
You guys kicked ass at The Basement. I go to that venue often and it was great to see you get those seated people off their behinds. Well done. The crowd was on fire. What a great time I had. You were all relaxed and had fun, and didn't take yourselves too seriously. I love the new release. Less is more. The guitars sound great -a little bluesy, love it. When is the next gig? Pina.
Ah, September... will keep an eye out for exact dates. Would be hard to keep me away from another gig! The Gov really is a brilliant venue & lends to such a great atmosphere. All the best for the rest of the tour & I look forward to seeing you later this year! K ;)
Thanks for accepting me fellas... Had such a great time at your gig in Adelaide on Friday night - you guys kicked it! Onion Skin has been stuck my head ever since. Ah, the sound of the 80's is back... hehe. Thanks again so much! K :)
Hey thanks for adding me. I hope you like my song “Silent Cry”. I’m trying to raise awareness for Post Abortion Syndrome, please help me spread the word. Please forward my song to anyone you know .. Thx
Yes indeedy it was a cracker of a show last night! Thanks guys! Love the new versions of the classics and a few rarities I have uploaded some crappy mobile phone video on YouTube for those who are interested:
The Basement gig was awesome!!! Please come back to Sydney soon! Well done guys you rocked!! The new album is also fantastic... currently on repeat on my iPod.
Hey guys!! To put it simply, I Have Never Seen A Better Show than the one you guys did at Coolangater.. Fantastic!! Hopefully see you at Woolongong next week, Cheers!!!
