If we can't have a BBQ on stage...

perhaps they'll come at this...no naked flame required, just sweet glowing embers. It's the natural progression for the splay me thinks. Mmmm...ovine.

Maxy's Back Live

Live from Murphy St., a slice of tropical Longshots. The first ever live performance of Maxy's Back. From the upcoming Longshots album "Ice Cream For Freaks".

Funky Girl

A little asian lady gets funky on the geets.

All she is missing is a stonking 'shots backline.

Thanks, Bree - as promised

Longshots ebay item of the week.

Longshots have never let the tyranny of distance get in the way of making some sweet fucking rock n roll. However, the recent Tropical Shots excursion allowed the lads to pontificate over ways of making the whole process a little easier.

Despite Hobbesy's enthusiasm for a recently retired 737 jet (apparently going very cheap these days!), it was decided that he didn't have the necessary skills, or licence to drop it into the Valley, for storage, upon purchase.

The next best thing will be a Chinook chopper. Once the essential modifications (sound-proofing, bar and piano for the Reverend and Stevie) are made...we would be right to rock - anytime, anywhere.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be too many of the genuine articles around the place...So if anyone hears of Chinook for sale...please contact Dan @ hard8.

Tropical Shots

It was hard thirsty work, but the weather gods smiled their benevolence as the monsoon swirled around Brownsville making the A/C jacket (see below) superfulous. 14 hours were spent in the jam room thrashing out backbone of the launch set, as well as working up some tunes for the sneaky saturday night set at the house of Pachooka! The punters lapped up the Tropical Shots and the boys then retired to the green room where Dan found the comfort of the couch corner under the aircon too much to resist. Highlights of the weekend were definately all of the jammin', seeing a French lass don the Australian Gold jersey, and the 'get fucked flop' of all time in the Friday nite poker game.

Longshots Creature Comforts

Here at Longshots we like our comforts, and this extends to our pets. So we now introduce our range of Longshots Creature Comforts. First in this new range is the velvet lined doggie bed. Sweet Baby Jesus, how comfortable does Louie the Tongue look!!!

You Want a Fucking Poncho

Here at Longshots we love ponchos. And this ad appeals not just to the ponchophile, but to those who appreciate quality advertising. The feminist angle may be a little strong for some, but...

Brownsville attire

Note: This air conditioned jacket might come in handy when getting from the house to the car and from the car into the studio.

Tropical Shots!!!

Marvel and Dan head north to the tropical belt this coming friday 23rd Jan. Longshots refuse to let the tyranny of distance prevail and are determined to have at least one rehearsal under their belts before the March launch. The intrepid southerns will join Hobbsey and Trunksy in an a/c rehearsal room for the better part of the weekend, with a sneaky saturday nite live set thrown in for good measure. The only question is will Dan melt??

10, 9, 8, 7.....

Correction

The information in the last post was incorrect. If Gordie "Fucken Don't Punch Me" Kovacs makes the journey north, we'll have a massive four-way guitar attack that should leave even the horniest fretlovers satisfied.

This just in...

Painey has confirmed that he will be joining the fray once more. We will now have an Eaglesesque three guitar line up for the upcoming Longshots CD launch in Bangalow on 14 March. More details to come, but rest assured that there will be a barbeque on stage and a guitar playing cow.

Good times.

Welcome

24 hours is a long time to drink
Contemplation, I now think
