I can't really add enything to the email I got telling me about this.
Ron Asheton Tribute Night featuring Bored! with guest vocalists Fiona Maynard and Mike Keane playing the songs of The Stooges and Destroy all Monsters! Also playing Kim Salmon, Mick Harvey and Deafwish! Its a benefit for injured wildlife in the Victorian bushfires so come on down!!! $10, at Cherry Bar, in AC/DC Lane.
You may have read about this one on TJ Honeysuckle's Last Tram Home blog. I know summer ended in Australia a few days ago but I don't give a rat's arse and neither do Tiger By The Tail, I guess. They're Dave Thomas from Bored!'s "other band" and if you're wondering about the "cops on the beach theme" of the clip, it's all to do with some absurd riot in Sydney a year ago.
I've only been lucky enough to catch TBTT live once and they're pretty damn fine; a little less direct than Bored!, quite different from everyone else in a Dinosaur Jr sort of way. I haven't caught up with the new album ("Unitshifter") yet but there's a glowing review here.
