Roll up! Roll up! For the wildest Band, Burlesque & DJ Variety Show..

BLACK CHERRY - Saturday 24th July

 

 

The Kitten and Limpin' Jimmy were lucky enough to catch The Rumjacks and The Snowdroppers together on the bill at the Oxford Art Factory a few weeks ago and this only served to heighten our anticipation for the Next Black Cherry. Word around town is it will be a big show so don't leave your tickets to buy at the door. Remember the last show was almost a capacity sell-out. Nothing is more disappointing than being left on the street outside a show.

Rave On Lori Lee

Howdy Limpin' Jimmy & the Swingin' Kitten and welcome to the latest Robot Roundup.

The GreazeFest office has been running on all eights as we hurtle towards the heppest kustom kulture event on this side of the equator. It's just 23 days away at the time of writing and it's approaching fast.

We are assembling a killer-diller GreazeFest weekend, with something for everyone, with candy-coloured dream machines, rockin' bands, DJs and burlesque performers, real live pinstripers, tattooists and kustom artists, vintage and retro fashions, lowrider cycles, tasty food and beverages and a gathering of the coolest people that you'd ever want to hang with.

Following is the latest updates on Greazefest, plus some exciting announcements, including this one about a new series of rockabilly gigs in Brisbane:

* New * Blue Suede Sundays

The Tempo Hotel is starting up a new series of free rockabilly gigs on Sundays!

Blue Suede Sundays will run at least once a month, on a Sunday afternoon, at Tempo Hotel in the Valley.

The afternoons will run from 2pm to 7pm and will feature a new rockin' band or two every month.

Tempo Hotel is a new venue in Fortitude Valley, previously known as 'Dooleys' or 'The Hacienda Hotel' (if you remember the 80s). The hotel is located on the corner of Brunswick & McLachlan Streets. It's easy to find and there is street parking in McLachlan Street on Sunday arvos.

The upstairs bar at Tempo is a big room with heaps of space and a new dance floor. There are cheap drink prices and a tasty meal menu.

The first Blue Suede Sunday kicks off on July 18 with very special guests Big Kitty & The Scaredy Cats.

This will be an exciting afternoon of live music and dancing. This will also be a neat way to warm up for the big GreazeFest weekend at the end of the month.

Where: Tempo Hotel, 388 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley (corner McLachlan St)
Who: Big Kitty & The Scaredy Cats
When: Sunday July 18, 2pm to 7pm
Cost: Free
Park: On the street in McLachlan Street or in Chinatown car park in Ann Street.
Age: Over 18s only.
Info: www.robot.com.au

The following Blue Suede Sunday will be Sunday August 8 (the first Sunday after GreazeFest) and it's also destined to be big!! I'll be announcing the August 8 line up shortly.


Other Neat Stuff

Mick Hadley & The Atomic Boogie Band are also playing a series of free Sunday Sessions at Tempo. You can catch Mick Hadley this month on Sunday July 11 and Sunday July 25.

Other gigs happening around the traps include The Sugar Shakers cd launch this Friday night (Jul 9) at the Holland Park Bowls Club and alt. country band Halfway's cd launch at the Troubadour on the same night.

Mimsy from Trailer Trash Tattoo and partner Pony from the Ten Fours are running a weekly DJ dance session on Wednesdays at Brothers St Brendan's Football Club in Rocklea, just down the road from the Showground. I'll be spinning some tunes at the next one (Jul 14), and hopefully picking up some new moves on the dance floor. Drop me a line if you want more info.

Lovers of real gone rockabilly should check out the new release 'Girls Gone Rockin', which is a triple cd set of killer tunes from the early years of rockabilly bands with female singers. Collecting gal comps can sometimes be hit and miss, as collections can be riddled with novelty throw-aways once you get past the headliners. But, I'm pleased to report this cd set doesn't fall into that lazy category. This is a cool 75 song selection of mainly rockabilly, with a bit of hillbilly and rhythm'n'blues, from the likes of Wanda, Janis, Brenda Lee, Jean Chapel, Barbara Pittman, Ruth Brown, Etta James, Ella Mae Morse, The Miller Sisters and the list goes on. This is a great companion set to the Routes of Rockabilly release, both on the Fantastic Voyage label, and they should sit in the 'frequently played' section of your collection. It has never been this easy to get your hands on the good gear. Find them at your local record store.

A friend of mine with a restored FX Holden is looking for a single lock up garage that is available for rent. Location is within Brisbane. If you have available space drop a line to Simone on simone_bennett@hotmail.com

Does anyone know of a 1968 Buick Riveria for sale around the Toowoomba region? It's a green 2-door with a white vinyl roof. If you have seen this car, please drop me back an email lori@robot.com.au.

That's enough raving for now. Read on for the GreazeFest news and see you all reeaaal soon,

* New * GreazeFest Cruise & Rockabilly Arvo

Heads up for the latest addition to the GreazeFest weekend. On Saturday afternoon, we are cruising to the Royal Mail Hotel (Brisbane Tce, Goodna) to catch the rockabilly sounds of hot new trio, The Vampers

Cars wishing to cruise will meet at Rocklea Showground at 12.30pm. Cars and/or punters not wishing to cruise simply turn up to the Royal Mail Hotel at 1.00pm.

The Vampers will be performing until 3.30pm. There's a timber floor at the venue, with plenty of room to dance. There are basic counter meals and it's free entry.

I wrote about The Vampers in the last Roundup and I'm happy to report they've just come equal-first in the one of the Brisbane heats in the Emergenza, an international battle of unsigned bands from all over the world. They hold comps in all major cities and The Vampers recent 'win' in Brisbane means they progress to the next round and have to do battle again.

What: The Vampers at the Royal Mail Hotel
Where / When:
Cruisers - meet at Rocklea Showground, Goburra Street entry, 12.30pm
Non-cruisers - meet at Royal Mail Hotel, Brisbane Tce, Goodna 1.00pm
Cost: Free
Ages: Over 18s only

 

* New * T-shirt designs released

Direct your peepers to the sensational GreazeFest t-shirt designs.

The main design is a commissioned piece by Wildman Ishii from Moon Eyes in Japan. He has created a mind-boggling scrolled hot rod and double bass pinstripe that will make your jaw drop. There is also a striking red, white and black anchor design and a crossed pistons design, both by Lori Lee. All shirts feature the bands on the back. 

Greazers who have pre-ordered a GreazeFest t-shirt in their preferred size will receive the Wildman Ishii design as their first choice. Shirts can be swapped at the time of collection, depending on available stock. 

You still have time to order your t-shirt in advance to secure your size and to receive the $5 discount. Order here: www.greazefest.com/tickets.html

When at GreazeFest be sure to check out the neat sticker and stubby cooler designs too.

Tickets over half sold out

GreazeFest tickets are selling quickly and the evening shows are over half sold out, as greazers from all around the country and getting ready for the biggest weekend of the year. As you know we have much more space for everyone at the new venue, but tickets are still flying out the door.

It's interesting to note where the tickets are going – 50% have been posted to Queenslanders, 25% to NSWers, 15% to Victorians, with the remaining txt going to as far away as Western Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. Of the hot rod early entries, over a quarter of them are driving to GreazeFest from outside of Queensland.

Be sure you order your GreazeFest tickets in advance to receive the discount. Friday night and Saturday night tickets will probably sell out, so make sure you secure your tickets to these nights.

If you are attending for three days, the best value option is to order the GreazeFest 3-Day Pass for $79 (you save $16).

Just visit the Ticket page for all this info and pick what works for you.

www.greazefest.com/tickets.html

Answers to Common Questions

How do I get to Rocklea Showground?

You can approach the venue from north, south, east or west, so check your street directory or Google maps to see what works for you. Just find the Ipswich Road Service Road and you'll be right from there.

Will it be cold... i.e.... should I wear my leather jacket?

It will be the same as previous years at South's.

We are closing in the stage end of the Showground Bar with fencing and thick curtains, so it will be just like a regular venue room. We'll have big gas heaters in any cooler spots and in the smoking section.

Can we camp overnight at Rocklea?

No, definitely not. This is not the Toowoomba Swap!! Just book a motel room, designate a driver, or catch a cab. The venue is only 11km from the centre of Brisbane and is a lot closer than you may think.

Where do I park?

For the evening shows, drive into the showground off Goburra Street and turn immediate right into the car park, or if full, park along the fence line.

For Sunday, park in the Rocklea State School oval off Goburra Street.
 

Where are the night time gigs?

Inside the Showground Bar, in the same space the bands performed in at the Twilight Hot Rod Show.

How big is the dance floor?

There are two dance floors – one for the indoor stage and one at the outdoor stage. They are both about 8m x 8m.

Is there seating for the rockabilly nights in the Showground Bar? Can I reserve a table?

Yes, there'll be regular tables and chairs set up, just like the other rockabilly gigs that we hold.

No. We are not holding tables for patrons. Once you are at the venue, it is 'best in, best dressed' for table spots.

How do I enter in the Low Brow Art Show?

Bring your artwork, up to three small / medium pieces or up to two large pieces in a ready to hang condition to GreazeFest on Sunday at 9am. We'll have GreazeForce members there to hang your artwork and we'll have display cards for you to complete.

"The GreazeFest is the 'must-do' Kustom Kulture event in the Southern Hemisphere.

Held in Brisbane, Australia, the GreazeFest is a crankin' weekend of cool cars, rockabilly tunes, vintage bikes, lowrider cycles, low brow art, pinstripers, tattoos and vintage threads.

The event is now in it's eleventh year and it has become an annual ritual for kustom kulture devotees from all over the world.

After many years in the groove, the GreazeFest is now on the move!

We are settling into new digs, which means a bigger site for the hot rod show on Sunday and an enormous live music zone for Friday night and Saturday night."

Come and experience the magic of The Hotel Chambers

JUMP, JIVE AND WAIL

 

 

 

 

 next night scheduled for

 

 

 

 

 

9pm - FRIDAY 20th August  

 

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT ENTRY IS FREE ALL NIGHT.

 

 

The Hotel Chambers is a great social night where old friends meet for a drink and catch up and new people to the scene can get involved. The food is great as well. Read the text below.

 

 

Jump, Jive and Wail at the Hotel Chambers, cnr Martin Place and Elizabeth Street, Sydney.

 

 

 

 

 

A night of Neo-Swing, Jump Blues and Rockabilly featuring DJ's Limpin' Jimmy and The Swingin' Kitten.

 

Come and dance the night away at this very cool city venue where you can ease into the wee small hours of Saturday morning. You provide the dancing feet, the venue provides the style and we provide the music!

 

Behind the deceptively everyday name Hotel Chambers lies a very funky underground bar, equal parts New York cocktail lounge and Parisian jazz cellar. The perfect setting for Jump Jive & Wail. Its chic designer decor is a mix of retro and futurist, like all great rock'n'roll, jazz and swing! Walk down the short flight of steps to the neon interior and you're in another world.

The main room opens intriguingly before you, reminiscent of a classic jazz club but updated in a contemporary mix of dark chocolates and rich reds, with a futuristic neon and glass bar, and plenty of seating in a mix of nooks and cosy corners or high benches and stools. The feeling is one of sleek comfort in a chic designer setting.

Great cocktails and an extensive selection of boutique, imported and domestic beers (on tap and bottled) are always available and very affordable. Wine and cocktail lists are priced to enjoy, and beers range from $5 - $8 with regular Beer of the Month specials as well. Well priced bistro snacks range from $6 to $18 with a big choice around $12 - $16.

The Chambers is at the corner of Martin Place and Elizabeth Street in the city.

Not Forgotten Productions

"Hi Folks next night is happening soon see below. Similar format to the Eddie Cochran 50 years show, i.e. great bands, good people and legendary venue. Back to basics, no sideshows, no chintz, just pure rockin'. Hope you can all come along and have a top night with Melbournes ReChords and the best Sydney has." Dave Duncan

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fifteen bucks. Yah surely gotta be kiddin'. Thirty bucks would have been a fair entry charge for this line-up. Lucky you.

 

This is another special Rockabilly event for the hardliners, brought to you by Not Forgotten Productions who brought you the well supported and greatly enjoyed Eddie Cochran "Don't Forget Me" celebration night at The Bridge Hotel a few months ago.

 

Not Forgotten Productions is a 'community' based group of Sydney musos and punters. They put on shows and gigs that focus on Jump blues, Rockabilly and Rock'n'Roll music. They believe in a top night out, fair pay for the musos and a nod to the legends. There are plans afoot for many more themed events like this if the event gets public support. The bands and musos are throwing their weight behind the events and we recommend that you do so as well.

Sunday 12th September

 

TON UP BOYS MC Australia It’s that time of year again folks which means the Ton Up Boys Motorcycle Club’s annual Ride with the Rockers Day is coming around fast. Established in the early ‘90s, the club for classic bike enthusiasts, will be holding its 14th annual rally in early September. It’s being held on the same day and in conjunction with... London’s Ace Cafe ride and this year the plan is to mix things up a bit. So along with the customary ride, there will also be a Show and Shine (for classic bikes and scooters) and an afternoon gig to round out the celebrations.

The day begins at Café Love #3 in Barr Street, Annandale, then it’s a case of kick-starting the engines, twisting the throttles and cruising down the south coast. Stopping for coffee and a casual tete-a-tete at The Headlands Hotel, Austinmer we’ll then be heading back to Sydney town, or to be more exact, the Newtown Jets Club at Tempe. This is where the mods and rockers will finally get the chance to fight it out in two exciting arenas - the car park for the Show and Shine and the dance floor for the shaking and shimmying.

At 2pm, ‘60s popsters, DTS will take the stage for a one-hour set of cool covers and cracking originals. And not to be outdone, Wes and The Sonic Aces will then get the house a jumpin’ and jivin’ with their special brand of rockabilly ravers. In between sets, Little Bop and The Crimplenes will continue the battle of the decades by spinning the very best in 50s and 60s tuneage.

The Newtown Jets Club has cheap drinks and a tasty bistro so there’s no excuse not to head down for a Sunday afternoon shake-down. It’s only $5 at the door and kids are welcome.

THE RIDE:
8.15am at Love#3 Café, Barr Street, Annandale. ALL WELCOME

THE SHOW AND SHINE:
1.30pm in the Newtown Jets Club car park (Holbeach Ave, Tempe)
All classic bikes and scooters are eligible to enter
Sponsor’s choice
Winners and prizes announced at 3pm

THE GIG:
Newtown Jets Club
2pm – DTS
4pm – Wes and The Sonic Aces

Australian Nitro Funny Car Gold Cup

Saturday, 31 July 2010
Sunday, 1 August 2010

 

 

 

It is mere rumour no more. Sydney Dragway is delighted to announce the overdue return of Drag Racing’s most unpredictable creations – The Australian Nitro Funny Car Gold Cup at the venue on Sunday, July 31st July/31st August.
 
“Drag Racing is about variety and the return of Nitro Funny Car to Sydney Dragway is a welcome and important step. We aim to be committed to showcasing these amazing cars moving forward,” remarked Sydney Dragway MD Tony Beuk.
 
The Australian Nitro Funny Car Gold Cup is no tentative step forward, with the same prize money offering as what an ANDRA Pro Series Top Fuel round would be paid at a Sydney Dragway event.
 
Also a pleasing initiative for this event is a multi-round shootout style format, with a qualifying round, then an eliminations round, followed by finals according to performances in the eliminations round earlier.
 
“With the development of Nitro Funny Car events in a one day package racing wise at this stage, we see the need to bring these cars out as much as possible for both the racers and the fans,” Beuk explained.
 
In a pleasing change-up as well, the various Sportsman categories will also race using a three-round format style.
 
Stay tuned as we let you know who will rage Nitro Funny Car Thunder in a Firecracker at Sydney Dragway!

 

 

For the very best of what's on in the car world, check with Pinky at the following sites ;-
