BIG thanks to Jesse for the photographs
WOW!
That's about all I can say.
As my friend Alan said:

I thought I'd encountered (Robin Casinader) and even met and even promoted some pretty eccentric piano geniuses from Melbourne down the years (Anthony Pateras). Then this arvo I went to Daniel Tucceri's gig at the Bendigo where he embraced the possibilities of a bashed up upright and belted Mozart, Beethoven, some Metal band I dunno and Mussorgsky all enhanced with wild synth and multi instrument interpretations of a few classics. Best gig in months and months by miles

2016 sees the thirtieth anniversary of the release of The Woodentops seminal “Why Why Why” - the record that arguably forged the link between dance music and indie culture.
To celebrate this momentous milestone, epic UK label Wall Of Sound is releasing a special Summer anthem 8 track EP of brand new remixes from artists carefully selected by the band; luminaries from the first time around rub shoulders with rising stars of the new vanguard carrying forward the same Balearic spirit that infused the original.
“Why Why Why” was the sound of a Rough Trade indie guitar band drawn towards all things experimental, electronic, and funk fuelled and becoming further immersed in club culture; thanks to resident DJ Alfredo, the record became an anthem at Ibiza's Amnesia and quickly worked it’s way into the psyche of those who made the pilgrimage there.
And thus, influencing many of the pioneers of UK dance music, the roll of honour of DJs who loved “Why Why Why” is a veritable who’s who – Weatherall, Rocky and Diesel, Carl Cox, Oakenfold, Rampling, Holloway, and many more. The legendary Tony Humphries became a huge fan of the band, after finding a white label promo in a bargain bin and wondering what it might be.
Fast forward to Summer 2016, and leading the charge is Ibiza veterans Leo Mas and Fabrice, distilling the esoteric hedonism of late eighties Amnesia into an eight minute blissed-out epic. Taking the baton, Lisbon Kid (Rui da Silva and Danny Matos) take the Ibizan sunset vibe up a notch for the deep dancefloors. Firmly entering acid house territory, old school stalwart Steve Proctor turns in a bleepy workout for the late night enthusiasts. Two mixes come courtesy of Godfather of the Balearic scene, Trevor Fung; a tough slice of infectiously chugging downtempo house is joined by his Acidic Dub, that strips it all back and ups the 303 quotient. Adding The Woodentops to the breathtaking list of bands they've remixed is Whatever/Whatever (New York City DJ and Production legend Justin Strauss and Bryan Mette), with a ten minute journey to the dark heart of innerspace…
Rounding off the package come two mixes from the new school – Spatial Awareness accentuates the dub elements with an acid soaked odyssey, whilst Italian electro upstarts Denis The Night & The Panic Party take “Why Why Why” apart and rebuild it as a heavy slab of indietronica.

The launch of the new split lp (with theUK's The Bevis Frond) takes place tonight at The Old Bar and unfortunately due to a bit of a family emergency I will be unable to make it. Just because I can't go doesn't mean that YOU should miss it however.

It  is a real pity that I can't make it tonight as I was really looking forward to catching this and Dave Graney down at my local beforehand. Next time I'll be there guys for sure, especially as they have been so kind to me, even going so far as to pop a physical copy of this current album in the letterbox for me here at Exile Towers last month.
Finally here's a video of 'Keyed In' from their debut.
Have a great gig

Meanwhile a little earlier...

Has there ever been in the history of US politics such a car crash / inept campaign as this? 
And one day after Cohen criticised Clinton for using a teleprompter guess what happened? (Hi Sean!) Lucky for us the crazy continues...
I got interested in the 1968 election as an 8 year old in Glasgow (don't ask) and have followed them all pretty close since, but my knowledge of pre 68 is pretty limited but this is fugn hilarious. 
When (and gawd willing that it is the case) Trump gets annihilated on polling day I wish every American newspaper to all have just "YOU'RE FIRED" on their front covers...and notice nary a peep from the Donald today about the nudie rudie statues. Man as I said previously I really would love to have been a fly on the wall when he discovered them
Should any American readers of this blog care to enlighten me of other campaign SNAFU's from the past then I am all ears

Oh I would so love to have been a fly on the wall wherever Trump was today and while these naked Trump statues made me laugh let's be honest they are not very realistic. 
The hands are far too big

Meet the sculptor behind the naked Donald Trump statues

Well Spacey, my just turned nine year old has deemed this bit of music good enough for him to release for public consumption. I'm sure he'd love a like on youtube if you listen to it. Now to raid his piggy bank and see if I can get The Bug to do a remix
