Sala Carabel - Palencia Spain - November 2007
La Fábrica de Chocolate Club (Vigo), 9 de Noviembre de 2007
Subculture Weekend Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November - Two Wild line ups over two nights! Get yourself along! Both nights take place in The Sandringham Hotel, Newtown, NSW, New! Upstairs, Flash! Big Room! Refer to Barfly Promotions blog for more info.
So I'm sitting up at 10.45 last night watching the credits roll on the end of the Caroline Byrne telemovie and who's name should pop up in the music credits? Nice one Casino. Especially as there was only about 4 songs in the whole movie!
In our tragic and misguided bid to relive past glories, drink far to much
for men of our age and stay up way past our bedtimes Decline of the
Reptiles will once again be gracing the stages of Sydney for some
middle aged mayhem. Our first appearance is that rock god staple - THE
IN STORE APPEARANCE - at Allan's music in the city at 3pm Friday the
6th of November where we'll be simultaneously playing every instrument
in the store for what promises to be a very special 30 minutes.
After that we have the pleasure of putting our disco jive togs on to play
with the Hitmen in both of their two rare appearances at the Sando in
Newtown on the 20th and 21st of November. This will be just like old
times, only a bit chubbier and with less hair - well at least on our
scones anyway. Better see some of you guys at one of these.
Hey Johnny! Thanks for the add! GREAT songs! We really LOVE it!!! Cheers from this part of the world! A brotherly embrace from Bahía Blanca, Argentina.
thanks for the com' I can't believe tomorrow it will be a month since I first saw you at the Mondo. Time passes by, I haven't found how to stop it yet except when I'm rolling or playing. I'll find out... Hoping the best for you as well, keep touring, we 'll share and keep the spirit from Sidney to St-Maudez ;) Soon or later - z.
Johnny! Wasn't that a time? We've never received individual bottles of vino tinto at a gig before... Thanks for the killer Real Kids rendition and for being such great company. We'll see you out there somewhere. Greetings from Brooklyn, Tuscaloosa and every once in a while Hoboken - The A-Bones
