Burgers on Triple J Unearthed

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.

Another Burgers gig! ! !

So Burgers will totally be playing another gig soon – a Christmas gig in fact! Not quite a Christmas album (maybe next year, hey?) but close enough. Here are the deets:

Friday, December 23, 2011 at the Velvet Lounge, Mt Lawley from 7:00pm until 12:00am

And the totally sweet line up is:

- Umpire
- The Autumn Isles
- Burgers of Beef
- the wine-dark sea
- The Sensitive Drunks
- Leon Ewing
- Ten Bit Tonsil
and special guest MC Byron Bard

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.

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.
