    Excellent…….love those dirty swamp rats at the end, I’ve just gotta see Tex and the boys Bish. Breeders sounded good. I saw the Damned last year, I thought the Captain was particularly good. Rat didn’t play the show I saw, he joined the tour later. Live music…..yes Bish you’ve got me baby! D🎸

      Doyen, you won’t be disappointed a pointed. They’re in top form. The only trouble is I’m not sure how well James is to travel.
      I never thought I’d see the Captain, Dave, Rat & Paul Gray. They were so good. Last time I saw the it was just the Captain & Dave. Love records, but live is where it’s at.

      I’ve regularly been going to gigs since I was 16 . Melbourne has always had a really great live music scene that is really diverse & you can see something every night local or international. The only thing better than going to a gig to me is playing a gig.
