Well, this isn’t a Burgers post. But it is a Burgers related post. You see, some Burgers played an integral role in getting lead ‘Daddy to make it to Perth. Furthermore, awesome Burgers side projects ‘The Gizzards’ & ‘Chimp’ will be supporting. So you really should come to this gig. It’s going to be really awesome.
And in case you need some more encouragement…
I have been hard at work over the last couple of days. Staring at my iPad screen, cutting out pictures of monkeys and moving them around slowly on a background with eggs and bits of bananas. Here is the result, I hope you like it – B
Whilst on holidays recently, Blainie Burger discovered a nifty little App on her iPad called ‘iStopMotion’. So excited was she, that she immediately purchased it, and began work on a new secret project. This project was a cute video clip for her side-project Chimp. The song is called ‘Cutest Dog in the Werld’, and whilst the recording (and vocals) are a little bit on the budget side at the moment (it was after all, just meant to be a demo), the video clip more than makes up for it. Anyway, enough rambling. Here’s the clip. Enjoy! (stay tuned for a new Burgers video too soon!)
Yes, you read that correctly New Year’s Eve, Eve. That is Friday 30th December 2011.
Not only will it be a celebration of almost the end of the year, but we will also be celebrating the opening of the coolest new music store in town, Unknown Treasures. Located at Shop 199 Conventry Square Markets, Morley, Unknown Treasures sells new & used vinyl, CD’s, DVD’s as well as a range of clothing, books and music memorabillia.
These celebrations will be taking place at Ya Ya’s in Northbridge. Come down and sign up for free membership to Unknown Treasures which entitles you to instore discounts. There will also be prizes to be won on the night! Hurrah!
The fantastic Cape Town Lullaby will be the first band to take the stage, then Burgers of Beef will strut their stuff.
The usual Supersonic DJ’s Likely Lads and Lady Libertine will be spinning all the greatest indie and alternative anthems to get your feet moving – including a set from special guest Zero Interest.
$5 entry, doors open 8pm – 2am.
Hope to see you there!
Ok, so Grandaddy have been big faves around the Burgers camp for many years. Some years ago, Blainie & Chad even went on a pilgrimage to see them play 2 shows in Melbourne. They were freakin’ awesome btw. So anyway, lead ‘Daddy Jason Lytle is touring the Eastern States in February 2012. We are trying hard to convince him (& local venues) that he should come to Perth. So in an effort to gauge the interest of Perth folk we are conducting a poll. Please answer.

Ok, so this is nothing new, we’ve been up on the Triple J Unearthed site for quite a while. Buuuut…I have updated it a little bit, and Quickly LInt! is now up there for your listening pleasure. Also, listening to it lots makes us look popular, so we would very much appreciate it if you did.

So this is going to be a great night, and what better way to start celebrating Christmas a little early. Cos let’s face it, Christmas is usually a bit lame anyway.
The third installment of Burgers’ gig history.
68) 19th February 2006 @ Hyde Park Hotel, North Perth, with Autumn Isles, The Belts & Fall Electric
And then it was 2006….and the Burgers continue on….
Continuing on. Here we have 2003-2005. We played a lot of gigs in 2003. Well, a lot for Burgers standards anyway.
24) 8th January 2003 @ The Newport Hotel, Fremantle with Tragic Delicate, The Wah Trees & DJ Jodie B
Can’t really remember how this gig went, but pretty sure the crowd was a little apathetic to our whimsical ways. Continue reading
You may or may not be aware that Burgers of Beef have been slogging it out as a band for just over ten (10) years now. In that time, we have played around 120 or so gigs. And yes, it is true, I have kept notes on each and every one of these shows (..well ok, ALMOST all of them, there may be a few I have missed) And so, instead of just keeping this fascinating information to myself, and flicking through it on occasion, remembering the (mostly) good times, I thought, that I would share it with you all, so you can all reminisce about the gigs you were at, or regret the ones you missed.
Part 1: The Early Years….
1) 16th September 2001 @ Hyde Park Hotel, North Perth, with The Stickfigures & Andrew and Geoff from Adam Said Galore
This was the Burgers debut performance at a pub. Technically our first show was a few weeks earlier at a friend’s party. It was hailed a success (by us anyway) and Chad and I went on to drink all the beer, sitting on the couch right by the stage heckling the Stickfigures.
