The Pretenders rocked last night (December 4, 2010) at A Day On The Green in the Yarra Valley. The last few times I have seen The Pretenders they sounded like a Pretenders covers band but Chrissie Hynde has obviously rediscovered who she used to be.
'Perfect Lover' is the brutally honest and autobiographical tale of a doomed love between Chrissie Hynde and Welsh musician JP Jones - ' found my perfect lover but he's only half my age / He was learning how to stand when I was wearing my first wedding band.' Despite the complexity of their relationship Chrissie and JP have found a perfect musical match in each other that manifested itself as their highly acclaimed debut album 'Fidelity!'
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard was rocking out in the Yarra Valley outside Melbourne last night (December 4, 2010) to one of her favorite artists Blondie.
