Any Blues or Rockabilly fans here

[Godz Illa]

New Black Keys album Magic Potion is disappointing imo.

 

[OVP]

Don't mind Blues or Rockaabilly when I hear it, but i've never really gotten into it.

Closest I come to Blues would be Lynyrd Skynyrd or Steve Ray Vaughan.

How good is Stevie though Briza ? f**king legend. The ONLY man on earth to cover Little Wing, and do it justice.

I actually can't stand blues music ...boring 12 bar stuff kills me.
However there is an old Aussie band called chain that do blues really well.

This was from an earlier post of mine ...

Yeah mate i know the Thunderbirds really well. Love em. Cant say im too familar with the rest you mentioned. Remember that old Aussie band called Chain ? Black and Blue remains the best Aussie blues song of all time imo. You can download it here ...

OVP, Briza ......stevie ray is awesome.......but Jimmie Vaughann is, imo a lot better guitarist......not taking anything away from Stevie Ray, as i am a huge fan of his as well

Lesstar......thanks for the pics, mate it looks like it was a great night, ya lucky bugger...it looks like you tore it up and rocked the joint, all night long

 

[LESStar58]

WQent out to The Pony and Cherry Bar afterwards (if your ever in Melby check those 2 places out) and didn't end up getting home til 530!

Love all nighters!

If you're in Sydney, the Empire Hotel in Annandale is usually a pretty good place to catch some blues or rockabilly. They used to have these things called "Ska vs Rockabilly shoot-outs" where about 6 bands would play off against each other, fantastic. Not sure if they still have them though.

http://www.empirelive.com.au/ I think is their website.

 

[LESStar58]

yep...they are still around!

 

[hillbillyjazzer1954]

.....aahhhh yes, the Annandale, i was drunk and rockin there many times in my Sydney days......it is an awesome music venue

one particular day/night i saw three Rockabilly Bands and three Blues Bands with the Foreday Riders Headlining.......that hangover took me a few days to get over.....but man oh man what a blast

lesstar

is Houndogs Bop Shop near you, mate i have never been there but from what i have been told it is Rockers/Bluesers Nirvana

i just recently ordered the 3 Preston story CDs and the new Dancehall Racketeers (all their old stuff not new recordings) from Houndogs, i ordered them on a Monday and they were on my Doorstep on Wednesday arvo

 

[LESStar58]

Yes it is! I have been told about it but never been in there.....one of the guys at work who is a music buff goes there all the time for all his old jazz/new orleans soul sh*t...

Going to the Gaelic to see Slim Jim Phantom hillbillyjazzer?

 

[raiders_lover_18]

I attend the Narooma Blues and Rockabilly festival in October each year.

Did you go this year dude. Lee Rocker was awesome but my highlight was Bomba. f**king awesome. Daddy Cool also went pretty good. Floyd Vincent and the Childbrides and Max Merrit and the Meteors were also awesome.
