Sydney's heading to Pismo Beach on Saturday while The Fadeaways cruise to a sell-out in Melbourne
Pismo Beach's favourite garage punk wrestlng world tag team champions The Psychotic Turnbuckles (almost) head back to where it all began on Saturday night when they play their 40th anniversarebuty LP. show at Sydney's Crowbar.
It will be 40 years to the day since their debut on Australian shores at the Vulcan Hotel in inner-city Ultimo, the now defunct pub in which they crash-landed after being exiled from Southern California's Piso Beach Wrestling Federation for bad behaviour. They'll play a room that's a stone's throw from their spiritual home, The Pismo Bar, in the nearby Petersham Inn.
It's now a five-band bill with Slack Punks joining Japan's The Fadeaways, supergroup Bahne Super-Flex (containing ex-Trilobites and Celibate Rifles members) and the sharp as shit duo The Strike-Outs who have just released their debut LP. The action starts at 7pm and tickets for the show, which is moving towards selling-out, are available here. Shitloads of merch will be on sale and it's an I-94 Bar presentation.
There's somnething of an after party the following day at MoshPit in St Peters where The Fadeaways play the final Australian show of their short two-state tour, supported by Jupiter 5 and one-man band Dirtbag. Tickets for that one will be on sale on the door from 2pm.
Friday's Fadeaways show at The Tote in Melbourne is close to a sell-out and tonight they play The Bridge Hotel in Castlemaine, also in Melbourne. Both gigs are with Kim Salmon's Smoked Salmon.
