Tex Perkins and the Dark Horses - 7-10-11,Judith Wright Centre, Brisbane




It was one of those gigs last night that you walk out of
on a high, people around saying things like
"That was even better than I expected"
and feeling that you just saw something well worth seeing.
According to Tex we were in for a good night because
the soundcheck was bad and by musician folklore
Bad soundcheck - good gig, good soundcheck bad gig!




Well it was an exceptional gig, Tex was in fine form and the band
were incredible. Playing many, many songs from the Dark Horses
back catalog they played with no support for 1 and half hours,
doing 3 encores. Beautiful dark country done in only the way
Tex can.




Charlie Owen was a joy to watch, boy can the man play guitar!
Other band members for the 2011 tour were, Joel Silbersher
and two new members, bassist Steve Hadley and drummer
Gus Agars. Sorry no video Chuck I got busted taking shots
as it was. The Judith Wright Centre is still a fantastic venue!
