What's the deal with the free Wolf and Cub show? Do we need to win tickets from Triple J, or just rock up, first-in-first-served style?

I don't see BUDGIE on that 'sounds like' list???

Australian tour scheduled for Spring 2009 (October/November) Actual dates  venues T.B.A.

How many times do we have to rock the house to qualify?

We better come and produce another BUDGIE concert on SATURDAY 14th NOVEMBER 2009 so we can make the list. :)

See you then for another top night of rock with Burke, Steve and Craig Goldy from DIO on guitars!
