Dear friends of Mr Rascal,
This is a quick update to tell you about a very special show we're organising for THIS FRIDAY NIGHT!
Basically, we've gathered together three (well two at least!) unique, top-notch acts to put on a show with a difference.
Unfortunately...Mojo Webb has had to cancel as he is currently residing in hospital following a nasty motorcycle accident. He's doing OK but won't be on his feet for a while.
So! Replacing Mojo is DANNY WIDICOMBE (solo). Danny is widley regarded as Brisbane's 'guitarist to the stars', having lent his lead skills to the bands of such esteemed gentlemen as Tim Rogers, Bernard Fanning and Andrew Morris. Danny also features in alt-country supergroup The Wilson Pickers. Above all Danny is a handy soloist and will put on a hell of a show on Friday night. http://www.dangerbird.com.au
Secondly, DOUG WILSHIRE & THE TAILSPINNERS. 'Diamond Doug' is formerly of Brisbane rockabilly / blues outift the Chrome Daddies and has a illustrious musical history having lead a number of top quality acts and played and recorded with the likes of Royal Crown Review and the Drifters to name but a few.
And of course Brisbane's 'not-quite-favourite but still dearly-loved' musical collective MR RASCAL will be performing again with a whole new lineup- this time as an 8-piece with a new lead guitarist Dave Maguire (very awesome dude indeed) and Matthew Schneider (somtimes drummer for the Gin Club and Sue Ray's band) hitting the skins for the whole set. We promise a couple of new tunes and some new arrangements of the current 'Pocketful of Smoke' batch.
Following our sell-out album launch and the overwhelming love that has flowed since the album release we guarantee that this will be a great night.
