Vital Juices 2nd Birthday Party

My local celebrated its 2nd birthday this weekend

with all kind of fun activities. It is an excellent shop

and Grant has built a fine establishment and goes

out of his way to support the local music scene.

Its quiet incredible how such record stores have 

come back into their own after almost disappearing.

Congratulations and 

heres to many more years!

The Skel e tones - Dead at Amyl's Nightspace

One of my favorite Brisbane bands from the mid 80's
The Skel e tones were one of the many bands from
here that did the move to Sydney, did reasonably
well, got on the Cooking with George JJJ box set.
They should have made it bigger , anyway via their
facebook page this wonderful 7 track live recording
and quiet a few others can be found.
So shake dem bones and get along to their page
