WHAT IS WHAT

Well I've got a Toyota Coaster bus decked out for touring bands. Its regularly serviced, registered to seat 12 with plenty of room to put your feet up, large cargo area for all bands gear, tinted windows, AC, windows XP, 4 channel amp + sub, GPS, aux batteries for entertainment overnight, 240volt (max 600w) power, kettle, mini oven, 60L eski...

So the deal is instead of hiring a Tarago + box trailer for your tour, you get me to do all the hard driving work for you. you pay me as a 'travel consultant', I drive wherever you want. included if you want is my services as roadie, sound/lighting/stage tech, I can man merch/door, film, help out in any other way like doing food runs etc...

I have done many tours Nth Qld, SE Coast & South Australia, (also driven/toured for 2 months through west USA & Canada with my old band Vicious) and played a lot of venues - so the experience is there.... if needed, I also have experience in booking shows including 18+ venues and All Age PCYC/Community Halls and organize PA/Lights/Security etc.

Bands I've toured with under the White Lightning flag since late 2006 are: The Matador, Mary Magdalene, Hereafter, The Meteors(UK), Zombie Ghost Train, Mz Ann Thropik, The Wrath, The Big Rigs, Billy Condemned, Kill The Apprentice, The F1-Eleven's, Brigitte Handley & The Dark Shadows, Ferry Road Disaster, Vicious, Nine-Iron, Noxious, Defamer, Crackwhore, Twin City Riot, Neighbourhood Swine, The Meaniacs, Endless Nameless, Devilution, Devilock, The Amenta, The Bezerker, RogerThat, A Secret Death, Concrete Street, Trash Talk (usa)...

Sweet deal! Hit me up for pricing!.... deano

PREMIUM TOURS

For those bands wanting to take touring to the next level i can provide short term management leading up to the tour, handling a timeline of pre-tour schemes to help come to fruition the ultimate touring experience. A range of optional combinations including the handling of theme/art design, physical/digital promotion & music distribution, merchandise for the tour and online sales, website maintenance, video clip filming & editing, even help with the recording process...For most bands this can be rather overwhelming, and lets face it, most of us in bands just want to rock! if your keen to know more then talk to me!

Upcoming tour promo...

Sat 1st Aug '09 @ Club Viper / Brannigans Tavern, Broadbeach:
 This little gig here is to raise some dosh for a new faster motor. so if you know me or the Lightning and want to help the cause come along and support. the best of the best local bands ever been on the bus will be playing and it's my birthday!! nb: listed bands are not in playing order.... cheers



the plan is to kick off the musical celebrations just after 7pm with a good mate of mine BEN JAHMAN who strums his acoustic with good vibes and improvised inspirations swanky enough for all to get their groove on..

picking up the pace a bit HELL & WHISKEY will loosen up the locals with their fierce flamboyancy before we can turn in up a notch at 8:30 with the bouncy beats and honking horns of THE MEANIACS!!...

then the time comes for, as Zain put it: "GC's minor celebrity super group STRANGE RELIGION will be debuting ... playing Bad Religion's 1994 classic album "Stranger than Fiction" - IN ITS ENTIRETY!! If you own this CD go to your collection, give it a spin and relive how awsomeness it is." members include Tommy Creeper (The Wrath), Sid (Kill The Apprentice), Zain (Chevron Whores), Paulie (The Final Fall) and myself back on the bass!...

to follow up and grunge it down is Brisbane's ENDLESS NAMELESS, a well oiled non stop party machine. then continuing the party is punk rock heavy weights THE BIG RIGS crash in to keep it real, followed smoothly by the mighty road warriors THE F1-ELEVENS and what i can promise will be a fine session of shredding...

it's approaching midnight, if your not oozing with energy by now then KILL THE APPRENTICE will surely make you explode all over the dance floor... and the party times keep coming with the epic wizardry of ZEDDICUS party power metalers - and if im still conscious i might even get up and break a yellody with them to one of your favorite punk tunes!! ...

closing up the extravaganza will be thrash demons MEDIOCORE to bang your head and raise a fist... and if your still alive and kicking there is an hour to continue to booze and bop to some favorite tunes of mine before the Viper room closes at 3am... oh what a night!
