This year marks the 9th Birthday of Melbourne’s favourite two-piece
garage-trash band DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS. That’s right, they’ve almost hit
the double digits. Geez…who would have thought that what started off as a bit
of a joke by two mates looking for a reason to drink free beer and try to meet
girls in their hometown, would take Sam and Andy to all corners of the globe
across four continents. The DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS of 2012 is vastly
different to that of 2003. Although their live set still features songs from
their very first songwriting session, the boys themselves have changed. Whilst
age has not wearied them, it hasn't been kind to them either. Yes, they are no
longer Young, Tight and Alright. But they aren't the slightest bit perturbed to
be carrying a few grey hairs and a bit of extra weight, they still have a
thirst for the stage, a love for each other and a desire to keep on writing and
performing music the world over. With a back catalogue brimming with five
albums, eight 7”s, a 10” and an EP, DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS return with two
new 7” singles to be released through German labels P. Trash and
Timmeheiehumme. To celebrate the band are putting their adult contemporary
lives on hold and getting in the van for an 18 shows in 18 days tour of
Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Expect suicidal rock moves, bad jokes and
immature songs, not to mention the smell of gig clothes that live in a plastic
bag in the back of the van that don’t get washed until the final show. Not bad
for a couple of thirty something fellas from Australia. So you better be ready - DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS are taking the Wrong Way To The Top and they need you
to buy them a beer and help them on their merry way. Surely, you at least feel
just a little bit sorry for them. Go check out one of their shows and buy their
new records.And just so that you know, the girl on the motorbike holding up the
dead snake is Andys daughter's granny back in the 1970's.... no joke, you see
the "desert-garage-punk" in her gene!!!
Postscript: The tour is over and was a blast! Here's a video I did at the first show in Münster!
