If anyone else was a little downhearted that Kim Salmon and Spencer P Jones had been added to the Sydney lineup and not the Melbourne lineup for The Hoodoo Gurus Dig It Up Invitational. Your prayers have been answered.
The Pony Bar in Melbourne (68 Little Collins St and a short 5 min walk from The Palace) will open it's doors at the earlier than normal time of 3.00pm on Anzac Day playing host to Hoodoo Gurus's compadres Kim Salmon and Spencer P. Jones as well as young Geelong act The Murlocs. Kim and Spencer will perform a solo set each as well as a double act while The Murlocs (featuring Broderick Smith's young son Ambrose on vocals and harmonica) will perform a set of their blistering r'n'b. Wahoo!
In the meantime Sydney siders will be very excited to know that Kids in Dust have been secured to complete it's line-up of live activity. Kids in Dust performed just once, appearing at the Sydney Trade Union Club in the early 1980's, but appeared many other times under another name. Dig It Up! is sworn to secrecy over the true identity of Kids in Dust suffice to say fans of the genres represented by Dig it Up! are in for a massive surprise come 3.30pm April 22nd. Here is a clue.....If you were in primary school in the 80's it was the best thing you could have in the arvo after a hot day at school.....
Incidentally all reserved seating tickets for the Sydney gig have now sold-out. General admission or
dance floor tickets are all that remain - suck it up and get one now @ www.digitup.net.au. And here is a little reminder of what is in store for punters so far.
