    The gigs retracing his storied career have attracted full houses and warm reviews up and down the Australian East Coast.

    The latest New South Wales run - with a bunch of "new" old material - lands at The Brass Monkey in Cronulla on Saturday, March 7 and 185 Bar in Marrickville on Sunday, March 8.

    Cronulla tickets are hereand Marrickville here.  

    Cronulla supports are Looch Lewis and Mark Horne. Looch Lewis backs up for Marrickville but Paul Berwick (ex-Happy Hate Me Nots)  in solo mode is the main support, launching a new CD.

    From his work with Tex, Don and Charlie, Beasts of Bourbon, the New Christs and Divynils to collaborations with Louis Tillett, Paul Kelly, Tex Perkins,and the Working Class Ringos, Charlie has consistently pushed the boundaries of his craft whilst captivating audiences with his ferocious and at times tender performances.

    DATELINE: Sydney, Australia - They were the product of a CIA experiment; rarely employed, driftless musicians from the 80’s, playing the independent scene, watching hours of American TV…

    They were abducted with the promise of a headline gig, forced hallucinogenic substances in horrific experimentation (and then demanded the CIA did it again), and then cryogenically frozen for the next few decades. It was Night of the Many Deaths, that’s for sure.

    But when a major condenser blew in the refrigeration evaporator, combined with a security guard’s mixed tape playing 70’s favourites through an old boombox, a course of events would be set in motion that not even the Central Intelligence Agency could understand, let alone control.
