InfluencesJesus H. I can never think of influences when i need to. Let's see........why don't we get all the obvious ones out of the road first. THE WHO, THE STONES, MC5, THE STOOGES, LED ZEP, BEATLES, THE SONICS, BOWIE, VELVET UNDERGROUND, AND ALL THAT USUAL SHIT. Also, THE BASTARDS, FLIPPER, CHROME CRANKS, THE PIXIES, THE DRONES, X(AUS) X(U.S)BLACK FLAG, HOWLIN' WOLF, PERE UBU, THE REMAINS, ELVIS COSTELLO, ROBERT JOHNSON, THE NAZZ, THE NEW CHRISTS, JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, THE SCIENTISTS( KIM SALMON) GUN CLUB, TOM WAITS, SOLEX, THE SPLATTERHEADS, THE WIPERS, MUDDY WATERS, LEADBELLY, BUSTA RHYMES, OL' DIRTY BASTARD, FUNKEDELIC, THELONIOUS MONK, SONIC YOUTH...AND SO FORTH. I'm not an afficionado of all these artists, but some of them have the qualities I aspire to or I have imbued (I think) THE BAKELITE AGE with.
Sounds Like egA etilekaB ehT but round the other way.

They sound like a chicken and champagne breakfast....that is..if you were to substitute Chorizo for chicken and Sangria for champagne.

Nice! Was that the lovely teardrop shaped one that you were playing on the night?
It was great seeing you two as well. We seem to be rapidly running out of time now we leave in two days but we will have to make the trek out to Sunbury next time we are in Melbourne.
