And they kick off the weekend gigs at the Excelsior. But first, a heart-warming Easter story.

Trying to stay asleep about 2 am Easter Sunday, got woken up by the Easter Bunny. He was pinching my nose.
“What’s the matter with you?” I snapped “What do you want?”
“The kid in the next room is awake; I can’t leave his Easter eggs. And I think he’s go a gun.”
“You’ve been drinking?”
“Yep, just some rum. Bit of a nip in the night air.”
“Well, give us a shot at it …Ta.”
The E B took another pull at the bottle himself.
"Not bad. Now I suggest you pull yourself together mate. Drop the eggs and piss off.”
He just stood there.
“You know…” he sez, “I’m getting sick of the Easter egg lark.”
“How can you be sick of it, you’re Peter fukkin Rabbit the Easter fukkin Bunny, aren’t you?”
“Na-a-a-h. It’s all franchised nowadays. I’m not Peter. My name is Trenton."
“Trenton?” I sez. “Jeezuz…give us another shot at the rum. So what would you gonna do… Trenton, if you sell you E B franchise?”
“Advertising. I’m pretty good at TV jingles. I can make ‘em up without thinking.”
“I would have thought that was one of the prerequisites for that sort of work.”
“Yeah …. I can just reel ‘em off. Lissen: To keep you gussets clean and tidy, you tell the wombat go play hidey. Having trouble holding back? Then take a dose of Anti-Kack….
“Here’s another off the top of me head:
“If you’ve had too much to drink
And told the boss you think he stinks
You’ll be needing a career mentor
So come on down to the unemployment centre
“See, they just come rolling out; here’s another:
“Is your arsehole neigbour on the frikkin’ nose?
Don’t waste time and water squirting him with the garden hose
Put a Mighty Lucifer flame thrower on your shopping list
One blast and you can fry the fukker to a fukkin’ crisp.
“And how about this one: Headache made your day all grumpy?
Hurts to smile and head all thumpy?
Aspirin won’t ease the sorrow, drink Rotgut Gin - wake up tomorrow!
“Giz another shot on that rum and fuck off.” I sez.
“What about the kid on the next room?  I think he’s got a gun.”.
“Just chuck the eggs at him and piss off; the gun is a toy for fucks sake - he’s just a kid. I’ll look after your rum while you’re gone.”
Skips out the room
BLAM!
“Oh…” I sez, out loud. “That room. Sorry, mate. That was Uncle Jeff from Queensland in there; I forgot he was stayin’ over. He hates rabbits."

Now, Acoustic Scandal featuring the mighty Steve Brown, Gini and David Rocky Rhodes (guitar)  with Mick the Man Barnes on percussion will soothe the patrons of the Excelsior Hotel Brompton on Friday, April 9.No cover charge and a great local pub atmosphere.

That's Brownie over thre on the left. The fact that the band doesn't have a logo or photo is abso-fukkin'-lootely scandalous. The do have a crusty sandal but doesn't like to be photographed.

Out at the Semaphore Workers' Club on Friday 9th, Double Wammy will be making Power Soul moves on the audience. LIve music kicks off at 9 and flops around till midnight.

Saturday night Warp Factor 4 go all private with a show for the Goodwood Saints Football Club. So if you're not a local member, don't come. It's different for country members, though... You're a country member... or have you forgotten?

And on Sunday April 11, i think the Flyers are at the Wine Underground on Pirie Street, the City. LIve music kiks off around 5 pm and keeps going till 8 pm.

Monday April 12 will have Sweet Baby James and Rob Eyers at the Exeter on Rundle. They get happening around 9 pm with the sweetest sounds in new Roots and Blues.

Sweet Baby James and Rob Eyers can also be caught up with at the Gilbert Street Hotel Thursday April 15. If you don't like the music try the vittles at the Gilbert. I have given some of the stuff my lip-smacking seal of approval. Not quite up to my fruit-cake-with-vegemite feats but getting close.
