Ooh awesome! I'll most likely go to all of those :D
What time is the pinstriping demo this saturday?
Did you get them in a mailing list email.. cos I can't find where to sign up for it, although I was sure I signed up at their store ages ago.

Bec

What don't you understand?

Oh and my friend forwarded me the email:

This Saturday Afternoon drag the gang down to the Route 66 Prahran megastore and glue your eyeballs to pinstriper extraordinaire Ben 'Bad Boy' Lander dropping some mad ball pinstripe paint action.

The Perth paint lickin 'WUNDERKIND' will be demo painting up a 60's style metal flake motorbike helmet to show you his style and flair then we'll let him loose on whatever you bring.

From 1pm bring beer and assorted cars and motorbikes, fridge doors, little brothers, bowling balls ,Ming dynasty vases or anything else you think will go faster with a hot lil' bit o' pinstripe action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Does that mean he'd do stuff for free?

It's a clothing store, there's one in sydney and two in melbourne I think (well one in Melbourne one in Prahran), but these are for Prahran I think.

What Bec said. And Dizzy, the bassist, played in TLE during the early days.

I can't go to the speed striping demo 'coz I'm moving house that day, but I am more than likely going to The Hybernators/Vaudevillians show and no freakin' WAY am I missing out on the Runaway Boys!

Were there two bassists or was he a drummer or something?

Dizzy drummed but plays bass in the current incarnation of Runaway Boys.

Will more than likely go to the Runaway boys instore....thats gonna be a huge weekend!

And the Vaudevillans are unbeleivabley (sp?) good!

AlinaPOW
02-15-2007, 03:54 PM
yeah I can't wait to see the Vaudevillians in action, but not nearly as much as Runaway Boys-that's going to be a BLAST! Jason from Route 66 was raving about them the day after he'd been to one of their gigs and how he realy wanted them for an instore and it happened and YAY!
P.S. Beat me to the Dizzy thing :D

but as i said.... every other bloody 'billy band around (well most) especially the ones that get loved apon on this forum seriously look like try hard, untalented pieces of crap compared to a few bands in the country that never get a mention... the wreckers is one of those bands that dosnt get mentioned. I see bands like this and seriously wonder what the hell is going through peoples heads when they are like 'oh my godz ZGT are the best band eva!!!'

haha sorry ive just got a hateful opinion of ZGT. Personally they are real arseholes and highly full of themselfs. Its easier to have a convosation with paul stanley than too with any of ZGT. Sooo funny cos im not actually lying.

Unless its fan crap of course... But a business side of things they are real arseholes. Just ask Az who left the band a couple of months ago hahah

Yeah Jordan actually had a really bad gig at route 66 guitar wise. The night before he broke his hand otherwise known as his "metacapal bone" so that kinda just goes to show...

most of my 15 year old guitar students play better than stu. So its fair for me to comment a guitarist of his calibure and 20 years of playing Crap. I think my comments are quite fair. If they didnt have makeup or the clothes I guarentee they would be nothing and wouldnt be where they are now.

Yeah he was complainin' 'bout the broken hand.

It kinda hurts to hear shit like that about the ZGT boys. I can't really speak for Recklesss as i only talk to him at gigs... although he's nice as anything there... but Stu is a fucking legend, i dunno what sort of run ins you've had.

And as for the makeup and clothes... I strongly strongly disagree. I got into the music way before I actually knew who the people BEHIND it were and I know I'm not alone when I say it's brilliant stuff. I'm not going to go into it, but I am still in awe every time I listen.

Only just noticed... you said on the business side of things they are arseholes. Fair point... that I can't comment on...

We arn't the only people who read what is posted so it sucks to give a band suck a bad imagery, even IF you don't like em...

it only takes one bad thing said about a band or someone to make a whole lotta people take sides
and then even more rumours start

billygal
06-27-2007, 11:37 AM
Ive just jumped in on the tail end and I know there is another forum dedicated to opinions on ZGT....BUT please do not post personal attack on people. Yeah ok they might be assholes to deal with as far as the business side goes I wouldnt know I have heard some stuff about that side but it was their manager causing the greif not them. But hey thats their bread and butter and if you were in the same position you may do the same. Its their livelyhood we are talking about and its a dog eat dog world out there. If you want to make it anywhere you have to be ruthless and fight for it.
Personally I think the boys are fab a very close friend has been mates with Stu for years and everytime I have seen him he has been nothing but fantastic and what he gives back to the people who enjoy his music is second to none. Most bands have nothing to do with the crowd.
As far as Aaron (reckless) please dont badmouth him he is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and I have all the time in the world for him. He is a very dedicated musician and I take my hat off to him every time he takes the stage as most people who have to cope with what he does wouldnt be half as curagious (sorry know its spelt wrong). There arnt many people who I admire but he is one.

Azzy was loads of fun too but yes he has flown the coop so lets leave him outta this.

This is my opinion and I know some of you wont agree and thats fine as if we all liked the same things it would be a very boring world. If you dislike their music fine I probably dont like some of the stuff you listen to and most of you wouldnt like my taste in music. But please lay off the personal stuff. Its not nice to judge others based on rumour and second hand info.

Enjoy your day :)

Ah godayumn. This may very will be the first instore i miss in a looooooong time, now that i work on saturdays and i'm definitely gonna need my shift covered on the 27th... But apparantely the new chick wants more shifts so she can cover this one too... but then again i do need money... decisions decisions.
Ahaha oh man Jase's reaction whenever Mad Sin gets mentioned is classic "just, gah, just don't even talk to me about that!" They've got no idea HOW they're gonna make it work! :p

Deadcat Kaye
10-14-2007, 08:56 PM
the instore was great..
Even though we arrived late due to Hair troubles..miss the train by 1 minute..
Wed Pudsey and the sonic aces were okay...
The Voodoo Keepers were really good, definantly a band worth checking out next time they're in Australia.
Hacky Sack is the shizz when you know how to play. :D

AlinaPOW
10-14-2007, 10:16 PM
Voodoo Kreepers were just FUCK YEAH... I ain't missing THEIR next melbourne show for anything! That's what I like ta see... a band with a sense of humour, amazing talent, kickass tunes and a Jack Daniels bass with a horse headstock with flashing eyes... they had it all!
Wes Pudsey was okay, I had a blast but they're not the most unique of bands.
And yeah... hacky sack was mighty fine idea... :p
I'll invest in a decent one for next time and soon we shall all be pro!

that makes more sense. I think his name was Rick he and Diz used to play together in a band called "the blue moon boys". He used to sing and play guitar while diz played drums. That will be really bizarre as well as he and dee look so alike

i'd just like to comment on how stupid it really is for a overpriced clothing store to have music instores.

Deadcat Kaye
11-09-2007, 08:02 AM
I reckon it's great.
They bring good bands from Australia.
It isn't like you're ordinary instore..
instead of going to one and pretty much standing there and knowin 2 other people.
Everyone pretty much knows eachother.
Great for catchin up with friends, who live..say on the other side of town.

That's my view anyway.

AlinaPOW
11-09-2007, 06:25 PM
It may be overpriced but they know how to throw a shindig.
I live for those instores... they are easily one of my favourite things in the world; the atmosphere, the music, the people, the food, the fun... just everything.
And Amy if you recall I was at the Gully for the Meltdown but I s'pose that's not quite the same?

Deadcat Kaye

Sunday gully gigs are in a different side to the hotel...it's small-ish

2 halves normally..

From the No No's myspace bulletin:

That's right!

The nice and devilish psycho swamp rockers from Tasvegas return to Melbourne to rock two shows only!

7th June - Saturday night - Kitty rock presents "Meow" @ The Glasshouse in Collingwood.





Along with Jack Nasty Face (syd), The Vaudevillians, and The Screwtop Detonators, as well as two lovely burlesque acts!
Tickets available from the venue,
or from the Bad Ladies myspace page - check it out!

8th June - Sunday 2pm @ Route 66 Prahran - Allages FREE show !
Along with the Vaudevillians...

It's gonna be the No No's last melbourne tour for some time (as they take time out to record and create new songs) - so make sure you don't miss these shows!

See you soon!!!

they're good, you Melby peeps not going to Come Together should check them out :)
