He doesn't sound like a 61-year-old man, be it conversationally or musically. He's disarmingly modest and polite: even though Nick Lowe wrote (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding , to this day he isn't bothered a whit that it's credited to Elvis Costello. He was in the thick of punk and new wave, but never let himself be identified with either movement, even though he... Read More

The Eskimo Joe boys made the quick dash from the Rod Laver Arena, where they played the Footy Show Grand Final Spectacular, to the more intimate, classy and relatively bogan-free surrounds of Melbourne's Forum on this evening, and it seems they were nicely warmed up when they hit the stage. They put on a rather spirited and energetic performance. With 14 years and now five albums behind them,... Read More

What's a Rock'n'Roll Shindig? Our name originated from Chuck Berry's TV Show Shindig. The meaning of the word represents a get together of people in a particular place to play music, dance, have fun and enjoy life.   We like it. Keep talking.   Rock'n'roll, swing, rockabilly music. It's about dancing to great live bands, socialising dressing up in the surroundings of an opulent hall... Read More
