We are very much looking forward to these shows for numerous reasons - but urge anyone who can make it to come along early to see Brisbane legends SWE in Melb who will be playing their first show in 6 years! ~ also a
rare outing for The Hi God People who will; quite possibly will
steal the show (particularly as they go on last).
Joining The Cannanes onstage tonight we will have Greg Wadley on
keyboards (sporting his finest Krolock Robe and also celebrating
a 'milestone' birthdate) plus James Dutton on rhythm guitar (James
will also be joining us in Sydney).
Syd sees the welcome return of Flywheel
who also have not played for far too long! and in the Gong
El Mopa will be joining us to celebrate the release of their brill
new album The New Weather

We 've only just begun!
The release of our newest album Trouble seemed so far away
marks the birth of a new record label which we hope in time will
assist many fine recordings from a variety of times and places see
the light of day and reach a broader audience the rest is up to
you! Thanks to Davo for naming inspiration and Mia for our logo.
Check out the new website if you have a minute to spare www.lamingtone.com

In fact You Name it has been played on Triple J rumour has it
more than once. We have achieved a pinnacle of success we are unlikely
to see for a while. AND! Frances' Apra cheque was $101.61 - haven't
seen that sort of income since the 1980's. Happy Days!!
Comings and Goings
The Cannanes travel fund for going overseas currently stands
at $225. Hoping to boost it enough at least to get to Japan next
year.
Speaking of Japan we are looking forward to the arrival of Kenji
Sekioka (Rover records) from Tokyo during the festive season. Kenji
is a long term Cannanes supporter and has already been lined up
for interview by documentary makers.
Going down ~ The
'Gong
Sleater-Kinney play their first show in Sydney without Stephen
drumming ( yes he is a footnote in Rock history 1.
) on the same night we are playing in Wollongong unfortunately -
Friday 13th of December. As they are extremely good live we can
only urge you all to cancel your trip to the Gong and check 'em
out.
