The Baby Animals

[HevyDevy]

Still the greatest Aussie band.

Saw them play at the Metro last night - Richard Clapton joined them on stage and then Nuno Bettencourt for the encore.

Brilliant, brilliant band (and Suze is still hot!)

 

[carcharias]

good one!

I agree ...that first album was an absolute corker...and Suzie ...oh yeah.
I saw them play many times in the day.

Didn't realise they were still around. They were massive when I was in High School.

 

[HevyDevy]

I have to say, too, it was one of the most enjoyable shows I've seen in a long, long time.

A mate of mine saw em down here a few weeks back and said they were amazing.

Suze's niece gigs around Melbourne a bit as well doing the alt-pop-country thing so the talent obviously runs in the family.

A good mate of mine was good friends with the owner of the old Manzil Room in The Cross (also known as Springfields as it was in Springfield Ave) ... we got to go backstage with them for an "aperatif" or two after the loudest f**king gig ive ever been to. Manzil Room was tiny and pitch black in there all night, and let me tell you i couldnt hear jack sh*t for months after that gig lol. Bloody nice people, but sh*t i couldnt take my eyes off Suze. She's 'ken hot but really nice and genuine too.

Ahh springfields! those were the days and the kardomah too!

I remember many times coming out of Springfields during bright daylight. After spending most of the night in the pitch dark, the sun sucks when you leave there lol. I thought i was a vampire sometimes lol. Best venue ever

I played one of my first gigs at the Kardomah cafe.
I was 17 .

Bitch of a joint to lug your gear out of.

Funny I just got out my old Baby Animals CD a couple of weeks ago.

Suzi also had a cool song 'satellite' when she released an album under her name a few years back. Never heard the album but really liked that single, she did a nice version of it on the panel as well which is on one of the shows CDs.
