News wrap up for August
The gig at Yarraville

Thanks to Greg Lynch again for another great night. We opened the show for him and it was wonderful to have musicians of the calibre of Steve Williams from John Farnhams band on sax and harp and the legendary Harold Frith on drums working alongside us.
Although we played our set when everyone was cold (it was a freezing cold and stormy night outside) and sober, we still managed to get a few brave souls up to dance, and by the end of our 50 minutes the ice was broken and the floor was full.
We're looking forward to seeing some of the photos that people took, we hope they remembered the web address. Unfortunately management don't allow bands to put their flyers out, or to sell our new C.D. in the foyer.Still there were a number of people who managed to find the band table and be among the first
to own our debut C.D. "Mama Rock" and what an awesome C.D. it is if we do say so ourselves!
Thanks to John for the great photos that he took of us at the "Diamonds" show last August (is it a year already!!!!), we hope you love the C.D.
And thanks to Kim and Rob from the Big Beat who were there and who also bought a C.D. Tune in to 3CR on Saturday night from 8.30 as they have promised to play it on their show!!!

 

Dandenong RSL

What a great night at Dandenong R.S.L.! The room was full with people eager to hear the great voice of Geoff Kennedy singing Elvis and to dance their legs off during our set. We opened the show and from the first song a couple dressed as if they were still living in the fifties, took to the floor and literaly burned it up!! They were as good as a floor show and we hope they come to more of our gigs.
The band took off with Steve Williams from John Farnhams band providing some awesome sax and harp lines.
Soon it was time for Geoff to take centre stage and what a show he put on! His awesome voice brought the audience to tears, a magnificent show.
The Badcats came back to see the night out and filled the dance floor.
Everyone had a ball, including the management who were itching to have us back again. Hopefully Greg Lynch of 3D productions will organise another great night for the Badcats and Geoff Kennedy to rock on at the Dandenong R.S.L. real soon.

 

Steve Williams on sax

The awesome Steve Williams, known to most people as the tall sax player in John Farnhams band, is the man who has provided the sax on "Mamma Rock", the debut C.D. by Brandi and the Badcats that is finished at last, and has appeared with them on their two most recent gigs, at Dandenong R.S.L. on 14th August, and Kingston (Moorrabbin) Town Hall on 21st August. He has agreed to be a "Badcat" whenever his commitments with John Farnham will allow.
