Baby Animals

Have a think about the big Aussie bands you should be voting for as well.

Suzie Demarchi from The Baby Animals, back to 1992 for you, when you were touring with Van Halen.

I mean, that would've been huge.

I mean, I, that 50-

Everything's being paid for.

You don't care.

The Baby Animals, Early Warning.

This is a song you need to think about for the Triple M 1000.

They're in Blue Collarville in the area around Richmond, correct? Yes.

Yeah that's right and over recent years it used to be obviously a picture theatre but in recent years it's been renovated and it's just a magnificent venue now and look some of the acts that have been there, the Baby Animals recently, the Blues Brothers show last week, it's just amazing and it's a real boost for the Hawkesbury and for Richmond and it's giving another great venue for people to perform at.

And so the event we're talking about here, and this is an event that it's underway and it continues through the weekend.

So there are a whole range of shows here.

You could chuck some Noise Works in there.

You could chuck some Baby Animals in there.

Yep.

Icehouse.

And I say, here, here, bloody good idea, three songs by any band, I don't care who it is, before a rugby league grand final or an AFL grand final or whatever the thing is.

If it's not going to happen, well, then don't give the money to the Screaming Jets or to Cold Chisel or to Jimmy Barnes or to the Baby Animals or anyone.

No, give the money to grassroots footy.

Here, here, good move.

Him and Kevin Borich, um, uh, weren't seeing eye to eye there for a while.

So, and I was singing with Paul at the time, and, um, we got Bobby Spencer and a guy called, um, Dave Leslie who played with a band from Australia called The Baby Animals.

Okay, yeah, I know them, yes.

Yeah.

I can't sort of get my head around it.

Now, I've got kids from 15 up to 25, so the whole conversation around Jimmy Barnes, you know, I think about when they have drinks at our house for footy nights, they listen to Colt Chisel or, as the gentleman said earlier, Screaming Jets or even, out of left field for me, a favourite of mine, Baby Animals.

Something that's going to get the crowd and Australian

arts.

And he gets tickets through the Avoca Beach Theatre.

Friday night, the Baby Animals, supported by Sister Dolls, playing the South Juniors at Kingswood.

7.30pm. Oz Tickets is the ticket provider.

And Saturday night, the PJ O'Brien band playing at the Piedmont Bridge Hotel.

It's a free door, and that kicks off at 5 p.m. And that night, the same Shane Blue Blues band playing at the Piedmont Bridge Hotel at 9 p.m. Also for our TGV listeners, on Saturday night, the Baby Animals playing locally in Blue Collarville at the Region Theatre in Richmond.

That's where I'll be on Saturday night.

Doors open at 7pm.

You know, there's a nice twist.

Susie from the Baby Animals introduced me to Nigel.

So I'll always be indebted to her and to the Baby Animals.

And I think they're a fantastic band.

So it's hard for me not to have a deep connection to Australia.
