FRI 9 9pm DARKEST HEART STRINGS (Last show ever)
with BAKELITE AGE, MOLTING VOLTURES (Adel)

Now its time to say goodbye
It’s with a bit of sadness that after 2 and a half years, over 100 gigs and 1,000 beers Darkest Heartstrings have decided to call it a day!
With lifelong friends made and had a tonne of laughs along the way Leigh will continue to play in Kids In Cults and Alana in Tijuana Souvenirs so you can still catch their ugly mugs around the traps and no doubt you will see them again in some form or another sooner rather than later!
Thanks to all those fine folks and bands that have given support throughout Melbourne, Geelong and Adelaide.
Darkest Heartstrings will be playing their very last show before switching off, so make sure you catch them one more time!

SUN 11 5pm DUST RADIO BAND (N.S.W)
Jeremy Edwards and the Dust Radio Band are an original, five piece outfit steeped in roots,blues and country and are a formidable live band boasting members ex and current of Don Walker, Red Rivers, Steve Prestwich, The Detonators and others. Live, Jeremy and the band can move seamlessly from wicked Stonesish romp into ethereal, lapsteel drenched ballads to swampy gospel and make it work.
His writing recently attracted the attention of legendary country producer Garth Porter who chose Jeremy and his album for the Garth Porter Producer Award at the 2006 Musicoz Awards. Strong support of the album also came via JJJ’s ‘Roots and all’, Melbourne’s 3PBS and RRR stations. Praise also from Music Journal Nashville - ” Fierce lyrics, cool guitar audio pleasure”. The same publication called Edwards’ vocal “searing, raw and passionate…an artist pouring his soul into his work”.
The combination of this approach with the soulful, country twang of second vocalist Julieanne Henry is a feature point of the band. Boasting the twin guitar attack of Edwards and electric/lap-steel guitarist Roy Payne. Creating a melting pot of hot country, raucous blues and Keith Richards style riffing. From hot swing to grinding R n’ B and fierce boogie, drummer George Brugmans and upright/electric bassist Ben Edwards lay down passionate, melodic groove behind the front line. The Dust Radio Band are playing at the Greyhound Hotel St Kilda on Sunday 11th of May from 5pm, free in the public bar.
