Seagulls Bushfire Appeal Concert, 8th March 2009

Our chance came up to cotribute to the Victorian bushfires and Queensland floods by donating our services at a concert with five other tribute bands, Suzie Quatro, Status Quo, INXS, Police, Beach Boys and Elvis.

We all did a 30 minute set in 4 hour concert, and as far as I know there was a good crowd and the show raised around $5,000 to donate.

It was good of all the bands to contribute and a good cause.

RSE at 50th birthday gig 21st Feb 2009

This was our first and very memorable private function, held in a local soccer club in Yeronga Qld. These gigs can be tricky as in many cases the venue is selected purely on a cost basis rather than sound quality.

It’s funny because it reminded me of the type of places we played in when we were young teenagers, eager to play anywhere willing to put us on, even for as I remember the deal at one place was, we each got a hamberger, chips and a drink at the end of the night, that wa our payment.

Anyway as soon as we cranked up most of George’s guests (the birthday boy) ran for cover outside as the sound was bouncing off the walls and wooden floor.

Anyway we had fun doing the job and got in some live practice.

RSE at Caboolture Sports, New Years Eve 2008

Our first New Years Eve was at Caboolture Sports Club, the place was packed with a sell out crowd and the joint was rocking.

We had the guys from the INXS Tribute doing the sound and lights and they did a great job, later in the night the boys got up and did a set of covers with an incredible lady singer belting out the songs and keeping the crowd on the dance floor.

Nothing like good ol’ loud music, a really  good way to bring in the New year.

The Rolling Stones Experience at Parklands, Gold Coast

The Tribute Festival was a quite an surreal experience, here we were amongst 20 other Tribute bands all in their clobber at the same place, John Farnham, The Beach Boys, Creedence, Status Quo, The Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and  Elvis to name a few, and of course the greatest rock and roll band in the world, The Rolling Stones.

It was a great venue with a lot of work put into the whole event, 3 stages and lots of bands eager the play, the only unfortunate thing was the crowd was fairly non existent, possibly due to the fact it was a alcohol free event with only soft drinks available

Anyway the organizers have said the show will go on again next year, so maybe if it’s not grog free they will get a bigger crowd, it’s certainly a great spot for the event.
