DON'T GO AWAY.........
Sunday afternoon (November 8) at the Wine Underground in Pirie Street sees return of the Last Train Home, doing it acoustically, sort of. Yes, Yes, Yessitty Yes, it's Steve Brown a-moaning and a groanin' at yer, and David Lloyd smashing shit out of his drums, with David Rhodes harping delicately on acoustic guitar and Denis The Preacher Surmon humping and thumping on his double bass, all chuffin' and a puffin' through some mighty Blues and Roots tunes with the occasional whistle stop to... well, wet their whistles. Which is what you do at the Wine Underground on a Sunday afternoon, you wet your whistle while whistling along to great music and all the time you're thinking about ordering something delicious to shove in your fire box (train talk). Love me fukken tender (part of a train) and whip me back on the rails (trains run on them), it's a ticket (train ride voucher thingy) to heaven (where you go if you get killed in a train wreck, probably. If you've been good) that will leave you stoked (something to do with a shovel and coal) to the boilers (the old ducks down at the Temperance club) and blowin' your stack (not many blokes can actually do this to themselves - I tried and put my neck out) when you catch (on the full, not one-hand-one-bounce) the Last Train Home at the Wine Underground. I could do with a drink after that - where's the refreshment car?
Before you go, take a gander at these crusty old fukkers (below)... The Last Train Home acoustical band. (Looks like they should be on the next fukken train to the eventide retirement fukken home! Ha, Ha, fukkenHA! Oooh! That hurts my neck!)
Don't Panic - it's pan!c

At the Daniel O'Connell Hotel this Saturday, October 31, you will see the death-defying, gob-smacking (gobs will be smacked with an open hand - not a wooden spoon) pan!c as they load in their gear - amps, drums and PA stuff, set it up and fuck around with the leads, mikes and all that shit, and get a drink or two, and then... have a bit of a chat about this and fukken that.... and eventually... at about 9.00 pm .... play some songs. Hooray! Yippeee - I hear you say. But... I also heard someone else - a doubting Tomarse - say: "So, what makes it different to any other useless fukken band at a gig? Eh? Eh?" Well, I'll fukken tell ya: it's because ... I'm sorry, I've run out of my allocated killerbytes for this post.
Ok, I've borrowed some old meatybites so now, I'm going to use them to tell you about this other item one more time: On Friday, November 6, Honky Tonk Angels - The Loretta Lynn Show, will be saddling up the Starwagon, tetherin' the Tarago, hitchin' up the Honda, mountin' the Mitsubishi and fondling the Ford Bronco and a-headin' down to the Port Noarlunga Arts Centre to start a-stompin and a-whoopin' round the corral and settin' down to cookin' up a prairie-sized bucket of ham and beans and fun, spelt h-a-m-a-n-d-b-e-a-n-s-a-n-d-f-u-n for the... for the....the.... somebody please help me out, I seem to have disappeared up my own arsehole.
Here's the brief: Honky Tonk Angels at the Port Noarlunga Arts Centre on Friday, 6th November 8:00pm kick-off and it’s $25 ($20 concession) to get in. For bookings call: 8326 5577
And all of this leads up to the next important announcement. On Saturday and Sunday, November 7 and 8, you should make every effort to....
I'm sorry, looks like i've used up all the meatybites I borrowed so now I'll have to do the following announcement in smoke signals. Here it is:
As you can readily see it is not something you would want to miss given the number and value of the we are .

Gig Review:
If you missed Surf’s Up at the Gov on Sunday October 18, well…. You missed it. Maybe next time, eh? But it was a grouse old show. Them GT Stringers quirked the crowd into a stomping frenzy, Double Wammy darted about like ghost crabs on the beach at low tide and Surf Fiction excelled with a thundering selection of surf classics and ‘new wave’ twang. With a salty sea-air tang.
News from overseas
Bridge over raging river comes too late to save doomed pair.
A bridge has finally been constructed over the dangerous Raging River that cuts through traditional Indian territory in Wyoming more than 40 years after it was instigated to prevent the recurring drowning tragedy of Running Bear and Little White Dove. Delayed by in-fighting between the two tribes’ respective councils about which side should meet the costs, the bridge’s eventual completion culminated in an official inauguration that was not the jubilant success authorities hoped for. “Fat-um lot of fukkum good it will do-um me now,” said Running Bear, currently residing in an iron lung at the Happy Hunting Ground Twilight Teepee, crippled with compound rib fractures and triple pneumonia, a legacy of decades of drowning and well-meaning but unsophisticated resuscitation procedures. Little White Dove, also an oxygen-dependent resident of the same institution, wasn’t available for the interview as she couldn’t find her best teeth and it was her toilet morning, anyway. That’s not to say the bridge is a total wash-out. Councils for both tribes have agreed to share the profits earned by a wide-ranging toll system that taxes all users, from pedestrians, horse mounted and motorized traffic to the Mighty Buffalo, the Fleet-Footed Deer and other Pesky Fur-Bearin' Critters.
Entertainment news
Lovers of Roots, country and Rock music will have a three-course feast this weekend starting with an entrée of Sweet Baby James and Rob Eyers at the Rob Roy Hotel on Friday night, October 23. Main Course will be Walking The Line – Australia’s Number One Johnny Cash Show at the Clovercrest Hotel. Dessert will be a sweet and succulent Amber Joy Poulton performing at the Lighthouse Hotel, Port Adelaide on Sunday, October 24. Have some more? Oh! No more for me, thank you; I’ve had an elegant sufficiency. Buuuuuuurrrrup! Hic! Oh, pardon me. You know, in some countries it’s good manners to belch after eating a fine meal. Or even drop your guts. True!
LATE NEWS: Speaking about dropping your guts - there's a bad smell hanging over 'Nevada'... the agency that booked Walking The Line into the Clovercrest Hotel dropped the brown bomb. Despite emails confirming the engagement, the cupid stunts booked in another band and neglected to advise the party of the first part. What can you say? It's all been done before and will happen again. So... the Johnny Cash gig is off.
