Darren69 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I shall be there with another head banging mate. read an amusing press release a few days back- Brisbane date change! Posted on 13th August 201513th August 2015 ‘’BLAST OF OUR KIND Tour ’’ BRISBANE 2015 – DATE CHANGE: SHOW MOVED TO SUNDAY 8th NOVEMBER UK rock heroes The Darkness are distraught to announce that they have been banned from performing on the same day as AC/DC in Brisbane. City Health and Safety executives have decreed that the sheer power released into the atmosphere if the two bands were permitted to play at the same time would create TOO MUCH ROCK, threatening the city’s foundations and causing buildings to crumble like dog biscuits in the rain. Furthermore, military law will be implemented, and security services will patrol the suburbs and schools confiscating riffs and power chords from the kids, in case rock readings go into the red. The Darkness IN NO WAY condones this State-led anti-rockism. Buildings were made to crumble like dog biscuits in the rain. Riffs and power chords were born to rock free. This is our electric destiny! But The Man has won this time. We sadly proclaim that our Brisbane show at the glorious Tivoli will be brought forward from Thursday 12th November to Sunday 8th November. All tickets will be valid for the new date, and refunds available if you are busy singing in the church choir that day. It goes without saying that AC/DC’s representatives were keen to move their show, but The Darkness are Gentlemen of Rock and would not hear of it. Luckily, every cloud has a silver lining. Rock fans who accidentally pressed the wrong button and bought AC/DC tickets instead of The Darkness tickets will now be able to witness both mighty events! IN YOUR FACE, The Man…. Rock On Brisbane! 3

Full of lager is definitely not on the cards, I gave up when .05 came in, I reckoned 80kms was too far to walk home from town if I got caught ............ An unknown lady on my shoulders ...... hmmmm .......... I hope she's anorexic ....... the way my back is these days ........ 2

Jeffro Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Myself and a mate are going tonight to see them at the Enmore....can't wait! THE best place to see a band. 1
Darren69 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 The Tivoli is great too, really good acoustics. There was no support band at Brissy, FYI. Dunno about The Enmore. Have a blast man. I found four beers was a good amount for this 46 yr old to have a head bang and still feel good the next morning, just saying. Loosen up, minimal loo trips etc.
Jeffro Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 4 beers? ....in the first hour possibly. Going on 50 but still enjoy downing quite a few, for a special occasion of course I'm only playing cricket tomorrow 1pm in the heat so nothing to be concerned about! 1
Darren69 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 See the playlist in the link? Surprised they didn't do the radio-friendly 'Last Of Our Kind' but there was enough to keep the devil horns going.
