Proof that Blabber is starting the year as they ended the last, with shit reporting and fuck all story. In local venues these guys will bring the roof down with or without playing AC/DC, just like about 50 other Aussie bands would. Their music is iconic here, their crowds are some of the hardest rocking crowds around and the lead singer can growl along with many thrash acts. But their appeal is not global despite playing Waken and other big events and they've had two 10 year hiatus'. How Blabber even got wind of this small tour is beyond me but if they'd have actually researched things a bit more they'd have found that at any given time there is an AC/DC tribute band playing in every state in this country. The Poor are simply a band coming out of hiatus and paying tribute to a band they grew up with and toured with to mark the anniversary of a particular album, something that's been done by different bands for pretty much every AC/DC album anniversary. This isn't Dave Evans trying to garner publicity for singing a song, this is a local band paying tribute to their icons.
Besides, you don't fuck with Skenie, the lead singer, he lives with a monkey!

Lol, something is wrong with my DeLorean! I'm not sure what it could be! Happy New Year!!So what's with you buggers still being in the last decade?
Happy New Year for when you arrive!
I like to think there's an AC/DC tribute band playing in every town in AU!

Sometimes it seems like it.
Although this is the first time the Poor have done anything like this. We played quite a few gigs with them back in the 90's but I don't even remember them playing AC/DC covers. For pub bands back then it was pretty much just a given that you liked AC/DC you didn't have to play covers to prove it.
I put the flux capacitor in backwards, I think I'm the old west.

The two headed thing I think came about as a bit of a friendly insult. Something along the lines of them all being inbred and therefore deformed. It's kind of like us Aussies calling New Zealanders sheep shaggers. The comments came about because of all the sheep NZ have, but the problem these days is that Australia has a heap more sheep so technically we must be the sheep shaggers.
Meals were good, the formal restaurant was not so good and it was weird because they delivered the meat on the plate then the waiter came back with asparagus and offered each person some, then he came along with spinach and offered everyone some, then potato, then mushrooms. It was like the chef forgot to prepare the meal and the waiter had to do it at the table. So strange to me but I don't normally et at such places so maybe that's normal. The rest of the meals were pretty damn good.
