THEN: After the closure of the Step Inn, our monthly shows were put onto hiatus while we looked for a new venue.
NOW: Thanks to a young man named, Cowboy Bob, the Long Gone ‘Extravaganza’ has returned. Our first show back is on Friday, January 20th at the Primitive Room which is located upstairs at the recently reopened Spring Hill Hotel. This special reunion will be brought together with Thee Hugs (recording material for Long Gone very soon!!), Byron Bay’s very own the Ganaschz, local rats Sewers and newcomers the Venereals (crammed from a bunch of other shitty Brisbane bands). $10 gets you in the door, and a good ear keeps you entertained.
Also this week, Tiny Migrants support legendary lap steel sliding cowboy, Spencer P Jones (formerly of Beasts of Bourbon, the Johnnys, Chris Bailey and the General Dog) at Ric’s tonight from 8pm. Free Entry and next door has $5 steaks. Over the past 20 years Spencer has dropped solo record after solo record into his utility belt, so if you don’t know who Spencer P Jones is, then you’re a fucking idiot – come to Ric’s idiot! Spencer P Jones also plays Beetle Bar on Friday night with support from SixFtHick, HITS, DJ Wolf Trash and more.
Friday night sees Velociraptor curate a night of new year’s fun for ‘Jurassic Party’ at Alhambra Lounge. Tickets from Oztix available here or grab one on the door if you think you’re lucky. Supporting the band are their local brethren, Keep On Dancin’s, the Sulphur Lights, Tiny Migrants, Cannon, Running Gun Sound and the Majors.
The Madisons have made their mark in town in a short period and they’re bring your New Years to a close. Earl Grey and Woodland host a ‘Super Heroes’ new year’s bash for all you costume loving hooligans. The Madisons countdown to midnight alongside first timers the Occults and the surf withdrawals of Thee Hugs. DJ Checkers and Velociraptor DJ’s also join the mix.
