Here are the tour dates:

^ good stuff @TheWho, back in January @Kook-Man gave us a heads-up about this tour!

...Pat Todd was glorious, what a voice and songwriter. Authentic as they come. Stories are getting around of his Geelong River Rocks gig: the whole crowd spellbound, many tattooed punks getting teary.. I can see why. Cheers again, @GreenJam

@basesix can vouch for the River Rocks gig. It was incredible and very emotional. Had hoped to make it over to Ballarat on the Sunday for his arvo gig but things didn't pan out so couldn't make it.

Pat Todd is without a doubt one of the most underrated songwriters of our time. Everything the Lazy Cowgirls did was amazing and he continues churn out great records to this day.

He has promised to return this year with the Rank Outsiders...definitely not one to be missed.

@basesix
Thanks! Good to know. You're right that this time the full band will be playing. They have been on fire the past few times I’ve seen them. I would probably imagine Cosmic Psychos guys might also play a couple of these shows.

Tunes.

tunes, indeed.

I feel like beats happenings’ red head walking off subpop's 'the grunge years' (not to mention James Reyne’s ’88 track) groomed me in ’91 to find unnatural enjoyment in Celibate Rifles positively pastoral Heaven on a Stick CD.  That we felt baritone gurgling had survived a bit (via stranglers skin deep, iggy candy, etc) keeping the charts a bit less fakey (is it a modern birthday party??), we allowed acts like Crash Test Dummies into the fray.  Or perhaps that was predestined.  What a weird time.

^ Tee Vee Repairman VERY well done; only ones/buzzcocks renderings, but importantly the fresh today energy required to pull that off.  Love to know what equipment they have up their retro cave.

(don't forget to tune into 3D radio while in SA @blackers, again like most things in SA, like vic's RRR but 2' smaller (cultural expectations-wise, the benefit being smaller crowds  : )  

^ Taras (RIP) wine guru with a bit of live kranktus Margaret River, and Pete the Stud in his fat suit : o . And soo 3D that a couple of radio chicks feel it is normal for one to be on a bar stool, and one on a milking stool while addressing a camera. love it. Pete is in Cull with Jeff Stephens from the Mice, Jeff works quite often at Big Star records, Magill Rd Norwood. He's a quiet soul.

modern ct dummies, getting a bit hallelujah-esque,

The reunion may be over.

^ apparently dave and pez have been at each other ever since the trump/harris debate..

Went to a pleasant gig last night. Folky and country tinge.
Great harmonies and slick acoustic guitar.

Blackers that second one is a real toe tapper.

B6 I’m sure it was just a little problem with the lighting.

Hey b6, first up thanks for the recommendations, looking forward to the trip but may be missing the big town this time, more dust and sand in the plans. That “It came from nothing “ vid was fun. Some great music, like most places it is awesome when like minds spawn something new and feed off each other to grow into (relative) greatness.
And yes an almost ludicrous baritone is a thing of wonder, the only notes I can even get near.

Possibly should go in the 'interesting things' thread, but here's Rick Beato asking where all the bands have gone. Of the top 400 monthly listens on Spotify the number of bands created in the last ten years is astronomically low compared to solo artists.

Sorta makes sense when Rick explains it but an interesting development nonetheless.

Will have to watch it later, but one possible reason that immediately springs to mind is the impact of the reality show sing-offs such as The Voice, X-factor type schlock. Histrionics and bombastic performances get celebrated. Get famous, make $.

Actually that's not one of the reasons Rick mentions, but it makes complete sense.

Add it to the list.

Rick Beato is good value, I like the way he breaks things down, from classic songs to the state of modern music and the industry.

And yeah, the state of modern music is a worry, it's become simpler, more homogeneous and more disposable.
