He sure does, lives in my neck of the woods now too.

The cats that fell from grace

No kidding?

One of them was in a band with one of my old Uni mates, a year or two before the Cats started up.

I'm honestly surprised that anyone would remember them. I'd done my best to forget them.

i have heard a few tracks of theirs, thought it was quite good, but havent really heard to much.
I know they are doing a show early in september somewhere in Adelaide, might be Fowlers or Crown And Sceptre, will probably try and get to that.

Oi smithy - I tried to reply to your PM but I kept getting an error message, so here it is for all the world to see:

no, the guy I knew was called Darren, he was in a band called "The Nathans" with one of my mates. The highlight of their career was having the cops called to their first ever gig by some pissed-off neighbours. The cops simply told a bystander to tell the lead singer to get some lessons, and left again

The site is for a show on 3D Radio on Tues and Thurs @4, hosted by Gemma, singer of The Peaves.

[Dogwatcher]

The Peaves ain't bad either. I have one of their EPs.

They dont have the violinist anymore, which I think is better as Gemma has a really strong voice live.
