Barrelhouse underwear count: 10

Our debut album “Too Late To Pray” is finally to be released this Friday the 30th of October, 2009. All Hallow’s Eve, Eve. Like a well overdue child, its placenta has already began to deteriorate and leak out sweet smelling detritus in the form of free download singles and the odd pus filled gig or two.

Premature celebrations began last Friday evening with the inaugural “Barrelhouse” night at the Bridge Hotel in Rozelle. It is to be repeated for the next three Friday nights. For those unaware of where Rozelle is located (and there seemed to be a few), its that suburb just left of Balmain most famous for its decaying mental hospital. Luckily, a large number of those rare individuals possessing both saucily dressed bodies and geographical astuteness, arrived on time to see the cheekily assonant Lanie Lane introduce them to the first of several long, hazy nights. Next week sees us playing with both Steve Smythe and Mojo Juju.

The Cuban Cigar Lounge defied convention by being neither terribly Cuban, nor cigar filled, or even existing! Magritte fans everywhere raised their pipes and declared it a rousing success.

La Mancha Negra did their usual thing, if you count their usual thing as being a really great band.

With the crowd suitably liquored up and ready to enjoy just about anything, we took the stage and played a whole lot of our new songs, plus some songs by other people when we got bored of them other ones. Luckily, everyone danced up a storm and had a real good time. We all drank a fair bit, smoked a lot of durries, packed up then I went to another party where this guy did a magic trick with Jessica’s lipstick. It was the coolest thing i’d seen it ages. Then I fell asleep in a chair.
 
The End
