Murf the Steely Ironwork Master does one for Basesix
Unreal @base!
I'm sure i've mentioned it previously but had the absolute honour of playing the 'final' Numbskulls show with our band at the Crown many moons ago. Bit of a dream for me since they were my all time fave band growing up.
They came back. We didn't (yet) haha.
oh nice.. I gues that was when bass Dave moved to Qld to become Goggleman the optician:

(I assume the gig was at the Crown at Victor, not the Crown and Anchor..)
Yeh, Murf sure understood that good punk pathetique needs a distillation of vision
akin to that of ACDC or Motorhead - even if it's fun music.
(Peter and the Test Tube Babies were among Murf's fave tapes as a grom).
Did you catch it @base. Had to be quick Just Cause it deletes after 10 mins ;-)
Also had the Clams on that show.
Finished the night choofin away at our jam room in Victor with Wally and Keyser. (another of my all time fave bands growing up).
Was a fantastic night.
epic, haha, what good memories : )
(might end it here, lest it becomes too 90s nostalga
like 'fave bands past and present' thread, circa. March 2022)
Happy Sunday, @SR.
Indeed @base.
Loving catching up on this thread and seeing his handywork for you.
The story behind it is epic too.
Have a great day mate.
There's a feller who has a metal works south of Adelaide. Part artist, part brute. Makes sculptures to take your breath away.
Spends weeks wrestling steel in showers of sparks and clouds of steam.. and when the dust settles.. well.. ding my quiver if the guy ain't a genius.
Surfs. He competed as a grom. But quickly sought less crowded waves than a 3 man heat could offer him. These days he just gets wet to keep his pop up clutch, and to wash off the metal filings. And temporarily soothe his scorched hands, face and soul.
Plays guitar and hollers. Rumor is he hung around the Century Hotel in a brand new leather jacket as a micro-grom, chatting to the jaded old punks. Had a few bands himself.. Numbskulls, Slingshot.. played with the Exploding White Mice.
Goes by the name of Murf.
Murf from Blue Temper.
