Sandwich Club @ Candy's, 29th June
Last Thursday night, The Sandwich Club transcended the realms of the world wide web and revealed itself, in full living colour, to the Sydney live music scene.
People kept touching me on the nose, as one often does when flesh is there to supersede the façade that is 'html'.

Bright Red stopped the arriving crowd in their tracks as they made the initial scurry from the door across to the bar. Mini-skirts and chick-rock tunes swept the crowd around towards the stage, sweetening them up for a memorable night at Candy's Apartment. Clearly our photographer, Quilts, was most impressed with the girls.

In between sets, Ace Squad did more than just 'fill the gaps' . An intimate little setup in the back room got some legs shuffling in to catch a glimpse of Justin Hawkins from The Darkness. Or close enough anyway. Great little side dish.

Tic Toc Tokyo, up from Melbourne, were in town for little over 48 hours and took home with them a swag of new fans, one of whom I noticed flashing his new TTT CD around like Charlie Bucket and his golden ticket.
I can’t speak more highly of these guys both on and off the stage. Their positive approach to music is authentic and their humble nature belies their brilliant musical ability and potential for great success in the years to come.
No doubt you will be seeing them again soon in Sydney, be it a bigger venue and a much tighter squeeze.

By the time The Camels hit our plates, the crowd were bouncing like a bag of Mexican jumping beans, as the band left them pounding their knives and forks on the table, 'we want more! We want more! We want more!'.
The Bad Teeth DJs drained the last of whatever energy we had left on the dancefloor, before we all headed back to the Clubhouse in Glebe for a dishevelled bag of goon and sunrise on the roof.
Thanks to all the bands for sharing this special night with such enthusiasm.
Thanks to Mrs Chuckwagon for dishing up a fine selection of tasty sangers (I found one with ice-berg lettuce and swiss cheese, ahh the taste of my childhood).
And thanks to all you cherry tomatoes that rolled on down and made the night a monumental one for the Sandwich Club.
The party is nowhere near over…
Welcome to the Club!
