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.
Yes! That is correct. Another Burgers gig is approaching. It will be on Friday 18th November at Ya Ya’s in Northbridge. It’s going to be awesome, with the wonderful Mitey Ko and lovely The Love Birds playing also. This is one of the few gigs Burgers will be playing this year, so we really hope you can make it down and help make it a great night. It starts around 8pm and costs a mere $8 to get in.
All these details and more can also be viewed in convenient poster form here.
Well I’m not sure how many people other than the other Burgers will see this, but, hey, it’s kind of just a test anyway.
Burgers will be playing a set at Mission Australia’s Mind Field – Mental Health Week Event.
In celebrating Mental Health Week 2011, Mission Australia is presenting a free all age’s event at Wellington Square East Perth on Friday the 14th of October.
Featuring live performances from local bands Hurricane Fighter Plane, Lucy Peach and Burgers of Beef, there will be service stalls handing out information about their programs, a free sausage sizzle lunch and cool drinks throughout the day.
From 11am to 3pm.
Hello gentle readers,
From now on this will be the site to view for all things Burgers related. Gig updates. New CD progress. Witty banter. All sorts of excitement really.
Stay tuned for more,
Blainie Burger x
