Powderfinger are not reuniting for the floods. Thank goodness. Despite what people have apparently been begging for (who, seriously... who?!) they've said no. No reunion. However, in the coming days, they will be releasing a new/unreleased song with all proceeds going to the Premier's flood relief thingy.
The Whitlams, who have songs much better than No Aphrodisiac, have been doing tours with orchestras for the last few years, bringing the best out of their songs. They were scheduled to play QPac's Concert Hall on January 21 and 22, but that's now been cancelled. Possibly because QPac's underground parking lot looked like this a few days ago:
Brisbane punk boys Spitfireliar, are turning their Friday gig at the Zoo this week into a flood benefit. Come in, watch some great punk and support all those who are suffering right now. The gig includes Bixby Canyon, Groin, Bertie Page Clinic and Smokestack Orchestra. 18+, $10 at the door and it's a good cause with good music.
This next show, may be my favourite Brisbane flood benefit, and it's all local bands. Get ready for it... the following will be playing the HiFi on February 6 to support the floods:
- Regurgitator
- Custard
- Kate Miller Heidke
- Screamfeeder
- Hungry Kids of Hungary
- Gentle Ben & His Gentle Side
- Little Scout
And in non-music, but important to me flood news, I have this:
- LifeLine bookfest has been pushed back to start this Saturday
- The Big Bash 20/20 match at the Gabba last weeked was postponed until January 24
- The Brisbane Roar v Wellington Phoenix game at Suncorp has been rescheduled to January 26
