Thank you for your patience, bare with me, I'm working on it http://ozmusicrocks.blogdrive.com/comments?id=30 http://ozmusicrocks.blogdrive.com/archive/29.html Tue, 14 Mar 2006 23:51:30 GMT Due to unforseen circumstances, and amongst other things an internet provider that won't even let me get on to my own website, I haven't updated this for quite some time.

The New Sensations! The Sparrows and the Inches had their Dual CD launch Friday night and it was nothing short of impressive. The Inches came on after two warm up bands, one of which was The New Black (they have their CD launch at the Ding Dong in a few weeks, stay tuned for more details) The Inches and The Sparrows have to be in my oppinion, two of the classiest rock acts to come out of Aus in quite a while. The inches came on before The Sparrows, with a fresh sound, a new drummer and the professionalism of a band that could handle anything...

This was followed by a full set by Joe Camileri and the Black Sorrows. The Black Sorrows (minus Vika and Linda Bull) opened with “The Chosen One” followed by the unforgetable “Hold On To Me”. The Next song was the cool “Ain’t Love The Strangest Thing” and “”Come On, Come On”. The song that really impressed the audience was “Harley And Rose”. “Shape I’m In” was the other highlight of The Black Sorrows set and “Somebody’s Gotta Love...

Ross Wilson was next to take the stage and opened his set with “Can’t Love Myself Today” (which can only be found on Hey Gringo’s “Three” album) followed by a new song, which Ross had never played live before, called “sexy girl”. He scanned the crowd before saying that there was one down the front. The girl blushed with the title as Ross started playing his new masterpiece. The new was then followed by the old as Ross...

Saturday, The 2nd Of July The Inches opened up the show with “Never Sleep” and a strong set with catchy rock tunes like “S.O.S” and “Bad Reputation” in an energetic performance that included an awesome cover of Deep Purple’s “Space Truckin”. The only difference being that Andrew Ferz in more interesting to watch than Ian Gillan. The Inches finished with “Undercover” and by far outshone and outclassed the next act, Bakelite Age.
