abandoned giant prawn.... ......

Played in a lovely room in Lismore. Although when unpacking I noted that the airport baggage handlers had been so rough with my guitar that the toggle switch had been jammed back into the guitars body. Couldn't switch between pickups.
The promoter had provided a fender Blues Junior for me and a Fender Twin  for Stu. Well, I baggsed the Junior anyway.
Lovely to play in a  theatre.



Met up with the Stress of Leisure, who were lending us their backline, at  the gig on the Gold Coast. I had a  Blues Junior again. Stu had a Vox. The Stress of Leisure were terrific. Great big choruses and bangin' beats. Loud Synth lines and Ian wailing with his voice and his Strat.

The Beetle Bar was a really cool joint run by people who dig music. Thats all we ask!
The audience were ferocious, as only Brisbane people can be.

The Sol Bar in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast is a fucking lovely joint. Both Stu and I were provided with Fender Hot Rod Deluxes, mine being tweed. Both of us fucking want them now!

People were listening in a Sunday night kind of way and we blasted them with two sets.
