We said hi to Greg
before the show and mentioned St.Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne.
He asked "who was St.Kilda?" and wtf sort of question
is that? If any one knows please tell me.
Later on got a chance
to say hi to Jim, and I asked about where they were playing next.
Turns out to be another middle of nowhere place another 5 hours
drive away! So I asked if we drove that far, would they play better
off as we are for us. Jim says "Sure. We can play anything"
and I said "yeah but you can't sing try anymore" - this
is the self deprecating humour we aussies like. Jim just laughed.
(side note: the barman
had no lemons to go with tequila.. so you get a feel for the venue)
So we drive to Lower
Tarwin, and see them the next night. The pics on the left are
from this show. I heard a rumour the whitlams were there too but
can't substantiate that one.
Audience breakdown:
Blue Rodeo: 4.51 (baby
loves to rock!)
The Whitlams: 100 farmers, 10 security guys, and a few sheep in
a ute out front. Here's the venue pic:
