NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS
GEOFF ACHISON & THE SOUL DIGGERS ‘Comeback Special’ (two sets) with special guests
Fri 7 November 2008
After almost two years living and working in the USA, respected Melbourne musician Geoff Achison is returning home. Geoff’s stature as an original artist has increased during this time as evidenced in part by his meeting and jamming with such high profile artists as vocalist Delbert McClinton and guitarist/inventor Les Paul and also being listed in Guitar Player magazine’s ‘Top Ten Hot New Guitarists’. Completing a relentless touring schedule that has covered authentic blues joints in the south to New York jazz clubs, Geoff is now looking forward to reuniting with his infamous A-Team Souldiggers band featuring Mal Logan, Roger McLachlan and Gerry Pantazis.
$20+bf
Tickets on sale at the East Brunswick Club box office, 280 Lygon St, PH: 9388 9794 or via the website www.eastbrunswickclub.com

The Vandas On Fire With Slow Burn At Ruby’s Lounge Sep 26
The Vandas On Fire With Slow Burn At Ruby’s Lounge In Belgrave Next Friday September 26
It’s taken a while for The Vandas to get to this point.
All the doubts, fears and frustrations are put to rest. Four years after four gentlemen from west and north of the Murray River colluded in the southern capital, their first long play record Slow Burn, which has received rave reviews across the board so far, is finally here. And to celebrate, the Vandas have taken their cracking live show on the road for shows up the East Coast and Adelaide in September and October.

SOPHIE KOH (album tour)
This will be a very special performance as one of Australia’s most recognisable indie artists, Sophie Koh, launches her much anticipated second album ‘All Shook Up’. Sophie has grown up a lot since she last toured Australia; her new album, produced by J Walker, is diverse, mature and defies all expectations. Just ask anyone who has witnessed Sophie Koh and band play in the past and they will tell you it’s a night not to be missed. With Grand Salvo and Jeff May. Doors 8.30pm.

Adrian Belew Power Trio Tour
“Adrian is the most awesome musician in the world. I’ve never seen anybody play guitar like that.” – Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails)
Adrian Belew will return to Australia in December for the Adelaide Guitar Festival as well as a few East Coast shows. The live show features King Crimson favourites, classics from Adrian’s many solo albums, spirited improvisation, and special solo moments by Adrian.
Deadbeat Club
Hey Rockers,
If you’re into garage and beat-girl rhythms, then Deadbeat Club are just bound to be your bag.
Evoking the infectious sounds of the sixties surf guitar and borrowing their name from a favourite B52’s song, Deadbeat Club are looking forward to ripping up stages in their native Melbourne. In the lead up to the release of their debut mini-album “Runaway”, Fe, Jo and Alli have wowed crowds and been honing their set down to a vicious funfest.
