Jack's back in town...!

The Elwood Dad's Band are making a rare public appearance this Saturday, Dec 17th, at the venerable Elwood RSL. We haven't played in months so it could be really dodgy or really brilliant...or both at the same time! Come and hear the same old songs that we've been playing for ten years performed in an endearingly, drunkenly enthusiastic manner. Much drinking, dancing and Christmas cheer to be had by all. The show is free and starts 9.00ish.

6 November 2011 - Message from Mark...

Hi There.

I’m listening to the original recording of “Talking to a Stranger” fully cranked.. and I’m wondering what the hell was going on back then in the dark early ‘80’s when a lot of people thought the world was coming to an end? Hunters and Collectors were some strange apocalyptic rock band that played with intense passion and overwhelming power… Dec 3, Homebush. ANZ Stadium, Sydney Australia. We’re doing it again.. AAAGGH!
