Bluejuice have spent their few weeks off arguing about who they’d prefer to take out for a meal: Hulk Hogan or Kenny Sutcliffe. The Hulk would have some great tips on kneading a man’s face, but one gets the impression that Kenny is a real smooth dancer. You see where the conundrum lies.
Anyway, in case you were unaware, the band just released their second album, ‘The Head Of The Hawk’ (currently #37 on the ARIA charts!). It’s full of melody and rhythm and harmony, and most other things found in anthropological studies of Western popular music (like the rhyming of ‘baby’ with ‘maybe’, and ‘fly’ with ‘so high’). The band are very proud of this album – it’s a ‘ball-tearer’, as Jamie’s Dad might say.
They’re SO proud in fact, that they’re putting up with each other’s vile body odours and increasingly obvious mental deficiencies and hitting the road, in honour of ‘Head Of The Hawk’. Each gig will begin with a sombre prayer session and an animal sacrifice to a 10x10ft CD art mockup, and the band will perform in a boiling cauldron*, the contents of which will be served to the non-vegetarian members of the audience at the end. The band of course, will be dead after one show, but for such a cause! It’s going to be religious, motherf*ckers.
*animal sacrifice and boiling cauldron subject to local animal welfare laws and water restrictions
