THE CELIBATE RIFLES
+ Dimi Dero Inc (france) + Mushroom Planet
@ Manly Fishos, Fri 22nd oct
The Celibate Rifles formed in the late seventies and since have grown into one of those iconic groups that people refer to in the same sentence as the Stooges, Radio Birdman, The New Christs and The Saints. Their loyal fan base extends from home grown punters in Australia to Baguette carrying Frenchmen, Stein drinking Germans and even one or two flag wavers of the red, white and blue.
As their twilight years approach, there’s no slowing down for these original men from Manly as they still clamber onto the stage, write material and play music very Bloody loud.
DIMI DERO INC, France’s finest exponents of rock-n-blues-scuzzy-swagger. Dimi Dero Inc. are set to return for the third time to Australian shores in October.
Since forming in Paris in 2002, Dimi Dero Inc have been producing their own brand of evocative swamp rock.
They teamed up with The Drones in March 2007 to tour Australia, got loved by the punters so came back in 2008. This October sees them coming back to collect more souls during another kaleidoscopic sonic adventure down under.
Mushroom Planet was formed in 1982 when Stephen and Peter joined up with Scott Spillane to play their favorite 60s garage and 70s punk music. Within the first few months the band started writing originals and recorded a four track EP in 1984 and a single the following year for Hot Records.
In their time the band became well known for powerful live shows and determination despite the usual obstacles facing young bands in Sydney. Just before they were due to record an album the band broke up in early 1986 leaving only two recordings that have since become collectable artifacts from the Sydney music scene of the 1980s.
