Todd Teringie's drummer has discovered high quality video with great sound quality of Teringie playing a 45 min set at the World Music Festival held at the Gov in 1997.
I remember we played in a big white marque in your carpark. That was an awesome event. He is transferring it to a digital format. Individual songs will be posted on our myspace site and Youtube in a week to 10 days. (waiting for a VHS video to usb connection to arrive) There is a chance Teringie may reform for a limited number of shows. We will assess the response to our new web presence. So far it is amazing. Don't know if you ever heard or saw our 16 track cd. The band broke up just as we finished mastering it. Looks like it is worth releasing it. Have a listen and please comment. If there is interest would you be interested in discussing a reunion gig at the Gov? Cheers Mark Lobban
It will be a top night with Phil Emmanuel as special guest support + STONE OX from Wollongong starting the show.
The bands and crew really enjoyed the Adelaide show last year at The Gov and are all looking forward to coming back for an even bigger & better show in 2009!
