The Middle East reunites for two shows at the Sydney Opera house

The shows on 24th and 25th of May are part of Vivid Sydney 2019 and are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Spunk Records. There are different support acts each night. See all the details here and here.

R.L. Jones and the Phoney Mexican Diner to play two gigs in September

Melbourne & Sydney on the 7th & 8th. Via Spunk and Facebook. Buy tickets here.

R.L. Jones live at the Old Museum

So the sound is a lot more rock and roll than his recent solo shows. There were some familar faces in the band: Jack Saltmiras, former TME bass player, (playing lead and some keyboard rather than bass) and Mike Heydon, former TME drummer (and blogger).

The song is really good. Notice he does some more looping sampler stuff.

Anyone else catch Jordan Ireland in the UK/Europe?

A commenter writes:

I went to the Brighton date, it was an absolutely superb set, i really wish i recorded a song or two. They basically just sounded like new Middle East songs but stripped back, as opposed to a new direction like Rohin has seems to have gone in.

Here are the dates in case you need them. He is supporting Holly Throsby (and Tiny Ruins).
