Re: Hey guys.

You wouldn't recognize it now! Used to go to Melbourne a lot in the mid to late 80s when I managed bands, we used to stay at the POW in St Kilda, then didn't go down again till 2006 for about a week. I do like visiting Melbourne, except for the turn right from left rule!

Re: Hey guys.

So you know Melbourne. I actually live in the Dandenong ranges outside Melbourne. Still close enough that I can visit my mates but far enough away that I have possums in the roof and kookaburras in the garden.
Yeah...the right from left rule, obviously to accommodate trams in the city is kinda weird. You'd be surprised how little that affects most Melbournians...you'd have to be mad to drive in the city I reckon.
I know a guy who used to live down here who manages bands but now lives in Sydney. Alternative stuff. I haven't seen him for years.

Re: Hey guys.

Ah, a Sandgroper! I flew over with a band I used to work for in 1986 or 87 IIRC, for one gig, and we played at the Red Parrot I think?

Re: Hey guys.

Perth's a great town. Only been there one time (after a looong drive) but I'll be back.
Dave, do I qualify as a 'South Coaster'?

Ahh... the "Red Parrot" aka the "Pi##ed Parrot" as my sister called it.

That Red Parrot has been gone since the very early 90's mate.
It became the "Palladium" playing dance & house music, then the "Berlin Club" a night club that played house & acid house music for years.
I don't know if the venue even exists now in any form.

Cheers,
Dave
