I concur with everything Chris said � it was a fantastic gig - but I can add some more specifics.The �unannounced surf sounding� song at the end, featuring Wayne G and sone on trumpet, was Misirlou � the great Dick Dale song made very popular by being featured in the classic opening scene of, and on the sound track of, Pulp Fiction. The first 2 instrumental tracks played were �I�m branded� and �Penetration� - not sure if they are originals or covers, but they were also played at the first Wayne Goodwin fundraiser at Mona Vale last November.I thought this performance was better than the Mona Vale one � Brian Ritchie mentioned that was �probably because they had actually rehearsed�. He also mentioned that they (Ebb Tide..) may be doing some more shows later in the year. Brian Ritchie lives in Oz now (Tasmania specifically) so perhaps we will be seeing more from the Hirst/Moginie/Rotsey/Ritchie lineup in the future. I think they make a great combo!Also, Jim Moginie will be appearing at the Harp hotel in Tempe (Sydney) on August 14th.CheersStu******************************************************* Dr. Stuart TangyeNHMRC Senior Research FellowImmunology and Inflammation ProgramGarvan Institute of Medical Research384 Victoria StDarlinghurst.

Ok - the gig in fuller review.Ebb Tide and the Shorebreakers were the last act on. The Basement was sold out and it was standing room only.The show started off with a unknown 'surf' tune with a very up paced ' Wedding Cake Island " sound that showed Rob Hirst at his best. The kit was a shared kit for the evening and he took considerable time setting it up properly and now I know why as his hitting was harder than ever and the kit was on the verge of destruction by the end of 2nd song!!Jim was in his " alas folk ' gear - hat and long hair and Martin actually looks younger from when the last time I saw them ? go figure.Wedding Cake Island was the first oils song to surface - first time I have heard it live so I was happy! Sounded sensational They broke into " When the Generals Talk " and Rob mentioned that the song was not dedicated to Zimbabwe's General Magabe. The version was rocky and much like the Ghostwriters version last year at that festival gig ( can't recall the name ) The audience picked it up and everyone was moving and singing.Helps Me Helps you followed with Rob on vocals. With its folk/rock drum beat the song sounded awesome. Most the crowd knew this song and that helped the song along.Remember the Basement is a small and intimate venue so with these guys going off the atomosphere was amazing.The surprise of the night was Jim singing ' Truganini '. Sounded great and he did the song justice with many in the crowd singing out " let it burn !" in every chorus and the usuals " Oiiiiilllllls " was heard at the end of each song - regardless of whether it was an oils song or not. There was no harmonica part obviously but you did'nt really miss it - sorry PG!Reference was made to PG not being there and that he sent his regards. The bass player was Brian Ritchie from the Violent Femmes who did a great job.The set finished on another surf sounding song which was un-announced and Wayne Goodwin and son joined in on keyboards and trumpet. When I saw the Trumpet come out I thought...ooh ooh _ Best of Both Worlds, Power & the Passion but alas no...doh!The gig was for Wayne Goodwin who is a popular musician but mostly unknown in mainstream circles. He was diagnosed with cancer and is now in remission. The gig was in support of the Luekemia foundation. The night also consisted of a raffle and auction of music merchandise from famous artists - no Oil stuff unfortunately. other bands on the night were Dog Trumpet made up of former members of Mental as Anything. Ross Wilson from Daddy Cool/Mondo Rock, the Atlantics, Ian Cooper ( violinist ) and comedians .For $50 a ticket - it was the best $$ spent by me in a long time.There was no mention of any other shows being lined up. The next best thing I guess is the Angry Tradesmen gig made up of Rob , Martin and Dom Turner ( the backsliders ) at the Vanguard/Newtown on SEP, Check the Vanguard website for tix. I guess Jim may turn up - who knows !!! http://www.thevanguard.com.au/ Hope that gives you guys and girls a better review of the gig! ChrisChris.
