Duluth, Minnesota’s king of the rollicking blues stomp CHARLIE PARR returns to Australia in January 2010, showcasing songs from his seventh album, Roustabout.
Having delighted and astonished audiences across the country on tour with Paul Kelly in April 2009, Charlie now heads off on his first headline East Coast tour. ...With a fantastic gift for an onstage yarn, and sparks flying off his prized National resonator, 12-string guitar and banjo as he delivers rousing, freewheeling performances from his own extensive song catalogue and the country blues canon, Charlie is on his way to becoming Australia’s new favourite bluesman.
Roustabout is a field recording in true monophonic sound recorded in a variety of locations including living rooms, garages, bar room basements, and empty storefronts throughout his home state. Drawing influence from the rural music of the 1920s – rags, blues, and folk – Parr’s songs tackle a litany of human miseries and occasional joys from a sharply modern vantage: aging, death, loneliness, god, regret and love.
Don’t miss out on the renowned Charlie Parr live show of scratched up, low-down thumping American folk music when he returns this January.
w/ special guest Stringybark McDowell

Bob Log III is a One Man Band Slide Guitar Party. A perverse product of the Arizona desert, Bob Log 111 has been diligently traversing the globe since 1996, showcasing his incomparable talents and developing a devoted following along the way. A whirlwind of dextrous limbs and digits, this super star sonic showman has ...to be seen to be believed.
Clad in his cannonball man, extra tight jumpsuit and signature motorcycle helmet with telephone/microphone attached, Bob Log 111 unfailingly sweats up a river while kicking on a kick drum, stomping his homemade foot cymbal and playing slide on an old archtop guitar.
His endless pursuit for musical mayhem and a downright party has seen his unique talents utilised for children’s birthday parties, obscure beer barns, mammoth music festivals and everything in between.
Yet beyond these mesmerizing visuals, lies the true reason for Bob Log’s international, cult status and superhero adoration. It is quite simply the guitar playing - finger picked lightning, sliding up and down, stopping when it wants to, then starting again when it feels like it, all in a way that makes people move uncontrollably, smile and reel.
The upcoming release of his long awaited new album, MY SHIT IS PERFECT, begins the onset of another slew of adventures. Geography be damned, Bob Log 111 intends to take these songs and his unique slide guitar party to the good people of the world. There is no town too remote, there never has been.
But don’t take his word for it, let the guitar speak for itself:

Alright have we got a night of loose times for you, cause we at The Nash know how hard it is to show up to family lunch without a hangover or in some cases still inebriated from the night before...
Kicking off proceeding in the front bar will be the lovely Coby Grant, swooning you with tales of love, despair and damn ri...ght sultryness.
Then out the back from 9pm we have Wagons fresh off their performance at Meredith, right before they conquer the rest of Australia on the Big Day Out joined by young Geelong upstarts The Frowning Clouds.
And keeping everything loose out the front we have 1 fish, two fish on the wheels of steel, beware of the chocolate salty balls.
ALL THIS FOR FREE!!!!
YES THATS RIGHT FREE ENTRY ALL NIGHT!!!!
Because we at The Nash feel your pain, we know whats it like to get up, open up a heap of shitty presents you dont want, nor asked for, and then pretend to enjoy the company of second cousin Mary while crazy Uncle Doug gets pissed and trys to root your dog.
DONT FORGET, THE NASH LOVES YOU!
Arrive early to avoid lines, will be a massive night!!!
Oh yeah...
MERRY FUCKING XMAS

TSOMM (for the abbreviation) are a synth bomb, the fallout being incredible tron-pop, beat driven glam-rock fronted by melody making, flesh and blood drones. With deep, rhythmic electric guitar hooks, crispy clean black and white outfits and more vocoders than you can poke an antenna at, these two take their audience o...n a journey that starts with a ramp and drives through the still clean disco to the fragmenting and decaying sounds of the future.
In short we've played all around Aus touring with the likes of THE PRESETS, MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS, GIRL TALK, DUKES OF WINDSOR and THE GALVATRONS. Playing and dancing like mad men at festivals such as FALLS FESTIVAL, MEREDITH MUSIC FESTIVAL, PYRAMID ROCK and GOLDEN PLAINS. We've also remixed a bunch of bands including FAKER, TZU and INFUSION.
All in the name of fun and emotional satisfaction!!
COME AND DANCE WITH US
