Sounds Like
Rock'n'Roll as it should be spoke... tight, punchy and accessible--
The Hard Way doing Chris Isaak's "Dancin'" in Wollongong, Dec 2007, with Lincoln Harlen on drums
The Hard Way are taking 2009 by the throat and giving it a good shake to see what falls out of it's pockets....
The Hard Way are- Dave Miles on guitar and vocals, Fish
on bass and vocals, and Darren McCarthy on drums.
They have received radio airplay in Melbourne with tunes from their
2004 EP "... You and the Horse You Rode in on", and their numerous promo
singles.
Be prepared for a turbo-charged, diesel-fuelled rampage through rock,
blues and country as The Hard Way play tunes from their EP, and their
forthcoming full-length album "These Blue Miles", along with a truckload
of songs from artists such as Paul Kelly, Steve Earle, The Stones, Hank
Williams, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, The Clash, The Georgia
Satellites, and many, many more.
So bring your dancin' shoes, your best drinkin' shirt... oh, and don't
forget the earplugs....

Dearest Dick Lover,
My dear son and his naughty band have released a fitting tribute to the
end of George Bush's reign of terror with their animated filmclip George
Bush's Chicken. Starring George W at home on the ranch with his muslem
chicken Ned as well as guest appearances from some of his closest circle
including Osama Bin Laden, Paris Hilton, Saddam Hussein, Barack Obama and
Mr Ed, this is the behind the scenes insight the world has long waited for.
I read a blog of yours. Bluez Deluxe were the very 1st band ( act ) at Cartel. Luckily, we started with our singer doing a few tunes solo, then the band all got up.....we were not super loud...just good time music. No audience though. Cheers, Chris.
