The 12's are -
Horse & Wes Harrington, Cal McAlpine, Ally Dosser, Mick
Robbins, and Charlie Owen
"Melbourne is not a bad place to be on a Sunday afternoon,
when you don't have that much else to do".
Under the umbrella of: "you just gotta see this band....",
we find ourselves at the "Pint" in St Kilda. It's
not that often that a band takes your breath away, playing
in the front bar, (on the floor), no fancy PA, just a bunch
of shitty looking amps and a couple of 58's thrown through
an old Eminar PA (yes the purple one)". . . full of tubes.
The 12's write & play songs that are Australia, and as
street level as you would ever hear, played with the enthusiasm
and attitude that you know these guys would be doing this
whether they were paid or not, and they have been doing this
for so long, that it's obvious they don't have to think too
hard about it....it just comes off the bat like a sweetly
hit 6 over the northern stand at the "G"
This is Melbourne, this is Australia, this is the 12's
turn
it up
May the gods of pub rock bless us (after all it is Sunday)
