I adore The Whitlams.
I think they are the band I've seen most often in concert.
I haven't been for a while but I did see Tim at least was going to be doing some shows soon.

I must have been to 6 or 7 shows in all. And every one of them fantastic.

We also used to see Andy quite a lot in The Gadflys.

I love pretty much all of their stuff.
I haven't listened to it all for quite a while. I should dig the albums out and rip them to my computer so I can have them in my play list.

Bugger. Just went to try and both CD drives on this computer have died and wont read. And Ruth's laptop doesn't have a dvd drive.
*sigh*
We've lost three other computers in the last year.

I guess I should make tracks to the computer fair with my birthday money for a new drive.

but yes. Yay Whitlams!

Yay. :D

Yeah, the tour looks like it's going to be some Whitlams shows and some solo shows. A couple will be up in Newcastle / Central Coast. :-)

I can't find my CD's either. *sigh* Technology, huh. :-/

oh yay!

aussie music. i miss the days b.c. when i used to go out all the time and see heaps of live music.

[miss_diverse]

Yes yay! I love tim's voice! and the words!

*sigh* I have seen a pathetically small amount of live music. But then my "b.c" days didn't last very long. :D

[miss_diverse]

The Hamburger one is pretty ridiculous. :D
