This Saturday.

Come see a fantastic local Ballarat band introduce some new songs, and play some older favourites from their first album. Escape from the cold, and into a cosy venue for drinks, tunes and nice times.


Karova Lounge, Saturday May 23

X's & O's hit the hometown stage for a night with more introductions than a speed-dating event.

We've got a stack of new songs that we would like you to get to know. And we hope you like them, because we plan on recording them soon. Then you can take them home to meet your parents.

On the outside, the songs will be pleasant to your folks. They'll be courteous with the right amount of please and thank you, but deep down, under the surface, they won't give a damn if they are liked or not. Because they know that they're good songs and that they should be enjoyed for what they are...Good songs. And to hell with them if they can't see that.

So come on down to Karova Lounge, Saturday May 23. Entry is $7.

I'm looking forward to seeing my friends on the Karova stage again (they're playing with Pony Up! at Karova on the 14th of June, too, if you miss this gig). Hope they get a bit of local support, seems like a lot of Ballarat people - especialy the younger crowds - are skipping the entry fee and coming to gigs after 12 to catch the last part for free, or waiting until the DJ is playing, rather than supporting local live music. Disappointing, a trend that I hope isn't going to continue...
