DAVER WARNER'S FROM THE SUBURBS COME TO TWEED HEADS FOR SPECIAL AFTERNOON SHOW
This October marks the fiftieth anniversary of Dave Warner’s from the Suburbs one of Australia’s most unique bands. `Suburban Boy’ Dave Warner, named by Bob Dylan as one of his favourite Australian artists, launched out of Perth with his 1972 proto-punk band Pus, then refined the concept into ‘suburban rock’ the Australian equivalent of Brit ‘kitchen-sink, angry young-man’ cinema.
In the late 70s Dave Warner’s from the Suburbs crash-tackled a largely imitative Australian rock scene with unbridled energy and originality with album ‘Mugs Game’ going gold within eight weeks. Tracks like “Convict Streak’ and ‘Half Time at the Football’, precursors to rap, and sung in an Australian accent sliced and diced the country’s culture and led to Warner’s arrest for singing “obscene songs”.
Now to celebrate that glorious era DWFTS come to Brisbane and Tweed with original ‘Mugs Game’ Suburbs and some special guests.
This will be a very special night, possibly the last time you’ll get a chance to see this band deliver its history from womb to tomb. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
