Rant 1 – The Countdown Spectacular tickets went on sale this morning. For $160 each. Is it just me or is that just a tad excessive? I’ll wait until it is on DVD, thanks.
Well yes it is a tad excessive, but I logged on to Ticketek then and managed to score one seat in the 2nd row. Oops.
Now that rant is over, it is gigs galore at the moment. Between Collingwood winning and the Chili Peppers release, I had failed to note all the good things happening in musical Melbourne at the moment.
Last week Diesel played with Strings at the Gershwin Room at the Epsy. Despite a pretty late start and no support it was a truly awesome gig. He is playing two shows with a full band at the Evelyn during June and that equates to the louder the better. Nice.
Mark Seymour is playing in the front bar at the Espy every Thursday night in June, testing out some new material. Nice plus.
Split Enz concert is also happening on June 11.
Chuck in some great specials on Music Max (even though ChitChat canned Stadium Arcadium) and I think I am being very well looked after at the moment!
To do – see Candy ASAP.
