I'm pretty sure we only have one Stray Cats fan from Perth on the board and they only joined 2 days or so ago.

As long as that fan can keep us updated!!

BTW, there's a pic of last night's gig in Perth on Slim Jim's website!!

Kid Setzer, just by accident I saw your clip on youtube, talking about your feelings when you heard the Aussie Tour announcement :-)

Haha yeahhhhhhh, I was pretty excited.. It's odd ya know, for ages the Aussie tour has been months and months away - then all of a sudden I'm a week out from seeing my first Stray Cats concert Shocked

Hope you enjoy it!
I was exactly your age when I saw my first Stray Cats show, back in 2004!
Do you reckon they could play Cross of love, You Don't Believe Me, I Won't Stand In Your Way?? That would be wonderful!

PS - what's going on on Home & Away? Haven't seen it for a while...

Hi all,

Saw them last night in Perth - fantastic show! About 1200 -1500 people who were rockin along with them. I didn't get the set list down, but they opened with Rumble in Brighton, Rock this town was the last song of the set then a 4 (or 5?) song encore including I Fought the Law.

All three Cats were in fine form, Brian's voice is still exceptional and his guitar slinger chops are finer than ever. Lee and Jim were equally in fine form on their instruments, and all three did a fair bit of jumping around which the audience loved.

My photos are all blurry unfortunately, here's one of the pics.

With all those drinks, I hope you aren't so pissed to know you were talkin' to the Cats Laughing

I will have a camera, so I'll give you the pics as proof. I'll give you a call later and we can organise meeting place etc.

Huuuuuuge night coming up. I'm so hyped, work is going to be tough today.

See you in the Cat house!!!!

Lisa, I'm going to the Brisbane shows on the 26th and 27th, but Rene and Pete get to see them in Adelaide TONIGHT!!

I'm hoping to get some photos but I won't be able to take my good camera and I won't be in the press pit like I was in Europe, so chances are anything I get will suck Wink
