You may have heard that The Bronx were added to this winter’s excellent Dark Mofo lineup down in Tassie. Before any of you start planning your trips down south, you can rest assured that one of the greatest live rock bands in the world are stopping in Melbourne before they leave. The Bronx will play 170 Russell with High Tension on Tuesday June 17. You’d be mental to miss it.
The Bennies must get real itchy when they’re not on tour. A day before they set off on their second tour to China in 12 months they announced they’d scheduled another brush with the east coast for the Queen’s Birthday BONG Weekend. See them with Sydney’s Fait Accompli at Ballarat’s Karova Lounge on Thursday June 5 and Ding Dong Lounge on Friday June 6.
If you missed out on tickets to see Violent Soho and The Smith Street Band this June, you weren’t the only one. Those bastards went quicker than anyone could have anticipated. Luckily they’ve announced a couple more for us, though instead of The Smith Streeters our patience has been rewarded with Luca Brasi. Friday July 18 at The Hi-Fi. For fuck’s, don’t miss this one.
