Happy New Year

IMG_4317.jpg

I just received confirmation of something we're all very much looking forward to: We're booked to play the New Year's Eve celebrations in Dunedin's Octagon. We follow The evergreen Oxo Cubans at 9.30 and after us at 11.00 pm the veteran Argus rock show kicks off. We'll be working on 90 minutes of knock-em-down R&B.

Lounge Party

Played our first lounge party (with this lineup) at Joyce Lepperd's B&B in Opoho last night.  Great fun all 'round. White Boy Slim and his keyboards were AWOL, so we performed as a four piece, which is just as well, otherwise the whole audience would have had to have been in the kitchen.

Geordie Boy played on drum pads instead of his Ludwig kit.  They took up much less room and sounded great - except maybe for the Indian tabla preset.  Not quite blues, y'know?

Tonight's The Night

Stand back!  We're tearing it up at Chicks tonight.


If you don't already know, Chicks is at 2 Mount Street, Port Chalmers and is a busy little venue for music and arts with a slight 'alt' bent.  This is going to be Bluestone's first gig there, but the lads are greatly looking forward to it.  Bring $5.00 for the door.  Dress code:  Light, comfortable clothing, possibly a fire extinguisher.  It's going to get hot tonight.
