Well, you may remember a while ago I mentioned that I have joined a cover band.
So far I have played 3 gigs with them in rural NSW and am a lot more confident with playing Bass again and getting my head around the 50 odd songs that are in the repertoire.
Well, next week I play my first gigs in Canberra.
And, well, if you’re free, you’re invited!
The first is at the Lighthouse (Sails, for you oldies) in Belconnen on Friday the 9th of November.
The second is at the Holy Grail in Kingston on Saturday the 10th of November.
2 big gigs. 2 big nights! Bring your friends. Bring your dancing shoes and your voiceboxes and help me sing along
We are called The Drop Bears. We have a MySpace page with our details, set lists and upcoming gigs.
We are available for parties, weddings, bar-mitzvahs, anything!
Hope to see you…or anyone there!

I presume you meant November, not October.
Anyway, I’m THERE!

I assumed you meant November, not October.
Also, I recall there was a Sydney band in the 80′s called Dropbears which had some small success (well enough to be on Rage … I just found a video of Funlovin’ on YT).

Oops. Changed to November.
And Ian, you’re right. Which is why we’re called THE Drop Bears
Great Aurelius! Looking forward to it.

Love the name. I want to see your band!

Gah!
I’m at a 21st in the city on the Fri night, and Dadsy’s 50th on the Sat – I would have TOTALLY been there!

What kinda covers do you play?
November 1st, 2007 at 9:26 pm
There’s a list on the Myspace page, but basically it’s your standard commercial rock. Acca Dacca to Hunters, Green Day to Pearl Jam, Bryan Adams to Proclaimers. Just stuff that everyone knows.
Fun to play and easy to listen to…
Pity you can’t make it Enny, but we will play more gigs I am sure
Aly, I want you to see our band! You should still come to Canberra with LaLa sometime so you can both see me play!
