Scream, yell, wet your pants and run around like chooks beheaded, pan!c will be playing at Finn McCools (the Norwood Hotel) on Saturday January 10. Hillie, Garner and Rhodesey (I think that's how to spell it) will be cranking  out the beautiful noise from 9 pm. Later... it turns ugly and that's the part where you scream and yell and start having a good time. Wettting yourself and all that. Wear a nappy if you're a bit loose in the nether regions.

In other news, part of the Grouse and part of Acoustic Juice is all mashed up together and headed over to Western Australia with Aussie songwriting legend John Schumann to play a couple of gigs at a festival. I don't know where it is or what the festival is in aid of (look it up and let me know) but I know we're going... I've got my ticket. The ragtag assembly, fronted by Schumann and Kat ( woman) has Stuart Day on fiddle, Mandolin and vocals, Denis The Preacher Surmon  on bass, Rohan Powell on acoustic guitar and vocals, Anthony Thyer on electric guitars and vocals, Polly on keys and vocals, and Peter Matzick on drums. If it all works out well the lineup may perform in Adelaide later this year.

Hang on... I just found out one of the gigs is the Viet Vets festival at Boyup Brook. That's on Friday January 9 with Adam Brand and James Blundell, and the gig on Saturday 10 is at someplace called Rock Arena, so named because the arena has some rocks in it.(Like somebody's fuggin head that I know!) So... if it's any good - the festival gig - we'll tell you all about it and maybe hang a few pictures on the site for you to look at. Or not.
