Thanks Bob, it was a really good night, I enjoyed double jack and strobing goat and it was a pleasure to play with both of them.

Flash, thanks for your support, where were you on monday night though, i thought you were coming down?.

Alright, just I haven't enjoyed any of your sets... I'm not saying you're bad musicians, but I just haven't found you interesting... maybe it's just the set I saw, I dunno.

All the best though.

Double Jack - boring boring boring

A bit rich coming from someone who plays in the Real Shocks.

Anyway as my old Granny used to say - "If everyone had the same tastes they'd all have married your Grandpa"

Thought all three bands were excellant on the night. As is usually the case with these things the band who brought the best 'rent-a-crowd' won. I believe the band go on to take part in a Grand Final later in the year so the the bar owner obviously looked after his interests by awarding the result to the band with the biggest following on the night, (not trying to take anything away from aka the fox), thus ensuring another good return at a future date.

It's all about selling beer at the end of the day.

Strobing Goat's are definately worth a watch

Tina - have you ever seen me anywhere but the Moorings?

Seriously though we were up partying with Breed 77, 209, and E106 till well into Monday morning, so I was soundo by 8pm. I'm surprised Frankie made it he was rubber at 6am. Fell over twice, couldn't even recognise his own home...

So seeing as I missed it, how about a triumphant homecoming on Sunday night???

I'll even buy you guys a round... You deserve it!

i can assure you it doesn't work like that at drummonds, three judges score the bands and the results are totalled up. believe me in the heats we've had a few bands who didn't pull a massive crowd winning.

Fair enough - I take it all the judges were independent and not linked to the bar then?

the project is still 'resting' though i did half write a couple of new songs last year!

i did put a compilation together of instrumental stuff which ian simpson is a fan of, could do you a copy of that if you wanted, 70 minutes of stuff recorded on me four track between 1995 and 1999.
