Up ahead …
Greetings brethren, herein a minor newsletter pertaining to The Re-Mains upcoming events.
This Saturday night the 7th we’re at the Lennox Point Hotel, scene of numerous triumphs and minor debacles over the years, this lineup featuring Frisky, UBL, Sideshow and CP Pyledriver. At some point in the next few weeks we’re going to be recording with CP out at Goonengerry again, to make up the 2011 Canadian touring album.
May 14th I’m scooting out to Broken Hill and beyond to rendezvous with the Lonely Horse Band, well actually Hull, to play the White Cliffs Festival. Tonchi Mcintosh being otherwise busy somewhere suitably outback we’ll reprise some of the songs from our 2008 album made in situ, plus various other Lonely Horse Band songs about remote outback towns.
The following week I play some joint in Mudgee with Den Hanrahan (aka Hank Denfield) on our ‘Solo Fight All Country Rock And Roll Wants To See Tour’, which then takes in Mazstock on May 21 at the Lismore Italo Club, where the Re-Mains are also playing on a bill with Kim Salmon, the New Christs, Leadfinger and other local luminaries of the lubricious and laical Australian rock scene. That line-up will comprise Leigh Ivin on pedal steel and electric guitar, preparing for his first Canadian tour, as well as a couple of extremely winsome hula-hoop dancers, Captain Freedom on harmonica and Filthy Dave Ranken on trombone and expletives. And on the Sunday Hank plays the afternoon recovery show at the Balcony Bash, which will also feature Butter Your Buns, the Live Karaoke Inhuman Jukebox Ensemble. Afterwards Hank and I head south to play the Sando, Newtown on Wednesday 25th, the Front Café in Canberra on the 26th, Tattersalls Pub in Tocumwal on the 27th, the Piping Hot Chicken Shop in Oceangrove, with the impossibly effervescent Sarah Carroll, on the 28th and on Sunday arvo the 29th, The Retreat in Brunswick. On this tour Hank and I will battle it out with onstage duets on our favourite songs and in the van with our ever-enlarging road-warrior yarns.
On Thursday 4th June we play the SCU Bar, a specially arranged extravaganza with hay bales and other assorted paraphernalia to indicate that we are a country rock and roll band, and our last show is a fund-raiser – for us – to go some way toward offsetting our prodigious expenses in Canada. Date uncertain as yet, probably late June before our flights in time for a 30th June show in Nanton, Alberta.
