Come Rumble in Sydney with The Wraylettes and friends

Some of Melbourne’s keenest worshippers of guitar pioneer Link Wray will share their adulation of the man with Sydney on Saturday, October 19 with a special gig at Enmore’s Hideaway Bar.

All-girl combo The Wraylettes (Melbourne) will be joined by sleazy ’60s psychedelia advocates Cheetah Beat, surf reverb fanatics Los Tremoleros (Melbourne) and Sydney’s own The Missing Link with DJ support from King O.P.P.

The Wraylettes are something of a supergroup, comprising lead guitarist Yolanda DeRose (DollSquad, Mass Cult and The Beat Taboo), drummer Susan Shaw (The Exotics, Girl Monstar, The Wet Ones and Andre Williams), bassist Nikki Scarlett (Asylum, Dusty Springclean & The Pops. The Jasmine Mahon Trio) and guitarist Sammy-Lou (The Shimmys The Vibrajets.)

Cheetah Beat are no slouches too with membership drawn from The Crusaders and The Booby Traps while The Missing Link were Link Wray’s Sydney pick-up band for his one and only Australian tour in the ‘90s. Leader Bones and Co play out rarely these days.

The Link Wray Tribute became a thing on the Melbourne live music calendar a couple of years ago. Hideaway Bar is at 156 Enmore Road - a short stroll form the Enmore Theatre. Admission is just $10.
Don't snooze: One-off Oz show for Yoshiko of 5.6.7.8's on sale

Yoshiko, lead singer of Japan's 5.6.7.8's, is coming to Sydney to perform a solo performance for the first time at the intimate MoshPit Bar in St Peters on Sunday, September 14.

The gig went on sale today and is already cruising towards a sell-out so expect no tickets on the door. Grab a pre-sale one here or miss out. Doors open at 3.30pm.

With a sell-out tour of Australia in March with the 5.6.7.8's under her belt, Yoshiko is going to be belting out a completely different set of Japanese floor shakers and rockin' garage tunes.

She’ll be previewing a record she’s recording with her Sydney backing band, Cheetah Beat,purveyors of “sleazy surf and sinful serenades”. Cheetah Beat are coming in hot after their recent sell-out show at The MoshPit in July.

They’ll be joined by Jupiter 5, stalwarts of ‘60s and ‘70's rock'n'roll with brute force and grooviness. Dirtbagwill open the shindig fresh from his appearance at the renown Wild Weekend festival in Spain with his primal one-man band racket.
