Well, we're here to let everyone know that the band is really looking forward to this week albeit tinged with a dose of sadness (more on that later!).
First up on Friday evening will be Bang Shang a Lang's first foray to the magnificent Mounties Club in Sydney's Mount Pritchard - this place is seriously luxurious and was voted club of the year in fact. We feel certain that the boys' success at Penrith RSL will rub off on this place and it will be a successful evening with many return bookings.
.
Secondly, on Saturday night, the band returns to their hugely successful residency at Balmain's historic Unity Hall Hotel - the element of sadness mentioned earlier will be because this show will be the last with Mark Alchin (aka 'Alch') on bass! After 8 years of fun Alch has decided to move on so this last hurrah with BSL will be something special indeed....why not come along and help the boys say goodbye - sadness notwithstanding this will still be a raucously entertaining evening with the splendiferous talents of Turn Me On, Dead Man in support
Catch you there!!
cheers

Oh what a night it was! The Unity Hall Hotel in Balmain was packed much earlier than usual....part of the reason, we assume, was that people had come to help celebrate esteemed skin-basher Mr Bruce Carter celebrate his "significant" birthday!
A fantastic crowd response greeted the opening, solo version of The Beatles' In My Life by Mark Mulligan which he sang and played with great emotion.....
Then the band hit the stage, including bassist Alchie who hadn't played with the band since December last year!
From the very first tune (The Equals' Baby Come Back) the crowd lapped up the band's eclectic mix of brilliant covers and Mark Mulligan's superb original tunes including the insanely catchy, and now forever etched in video history, Me Too! [See it here now]
The band finished with a one-two blast of AC/DC's Highway to Hell (which had the punters fist-pumping wildly) quickly followed with a rousing encore of The Romantics' What I Like About You!
Another brilliant night in Balmain brought to you by Bang Shang a Lang!
cheers until next time

Bang Shang a Lang has a brand new and completely brilliant video clip of Mark Mulligan's song Me Too!
Filmed and edited superbly by Nicky Elliott of Monkey Pants Media with amazing animated sequences created by Gary David Bouton (www.theboutons.com) we think you'll agree this takes the band's video collection to all-new heights!
Enjoy

The boys are gearing up for a huge weekend on June 6 & 7 when they will be appearing live at opposite ends of this fab city we call Sydney!
Friday the 6th will see them return to the very funky Penrith RSL Club for another great night of Crunchy R&R
Saturday the 7th of course sees the band venturing back to their regular and now ridiculously successful residency at the Unity Hall Hotel in Balmain - always a brilliant night
.
Hope those of you in driving distance can make it along....

Well, talk about anticipation syndrome!
the guys had not played this fantastic pub since their Christmas show in 2007! Plenty of locals and sundry blow-ins were there nice and early and so were able to catch the superlative charms of the almost-supernaturally talented support duo, Turn Me On, Dead Man! Their version of the Who’s Behind Blue Eyes went down particularly well! [But come on, who *is* that lead singer?!
On to the main act and the band hit the stage like an Apollo rocket launch with a blistering rendition of Mr. Diamond’s classic Crunchy Granola Suite - the crowd were dancing and singing along from the very first note folks! A sight to behold indeed...
As the night wore on more and more people crowded in until the place was literally bursting at the seams - a fierce and fiery version of Dylan’s Like A Rolling Stone really had the punters raucously singing and fist pumping along in time
Overall a totally brilliant night and the boys can hardly wait to return on April 26th for the 2nd night of their big Anzac Day weekend mini-tour of Sydney
So, until then dear fans and friends we bid you adieu
cheers
