Perico Defies Organisers to Rock Street Party

Due to overwhelming popular demand, and despite official rejection by the Sydney Road Street Party organisers, Perico are proud to announce their sanction-busting Super Street Party gig for 2006.

Denied the right to perform on the "official stages" by Street party Organisers, whose lame excuses included "you're too old for the children's stage" and "we can't afford you this year", Perico instead take to the "Car Park" stage, next to Rosario's near the corner of Glenlyon Rd and Sydney Rd.

Perico will be bookended by Brunswick's best DJs and come on at 4pm.

Perico denies slave labour link

Aging rock band Perico today lashed out at union accusations that their t-shirts were made in sweat shops in China. Spokesperson Big Col said the rumour was a slur on the band, all of whom are religious and ignores the great work they have done in the third world (Pascoe Vale, Preston) in the last year.

"In fact they are made in India by children so I wish these people would get their facts right" an angry Col stated at a press conference today. "It makes me sick, we are trying to help the unemployed children in India and all these people do is behave un Australian"

"It is another example of cutting down the tall poppies, the same way they slag off Rove McManus and Shannon Noll " Big Col said.

Perico Blasted by Police

Soft rock group Perico were today blasted by Police.

It is alleged that leader singer Tim 'the tool' Gartland smiled during their set on Sunday night at the Railway Hotel in Brunswick. Senior Sergeant Jack Off from Brunswick station claimed that Mr Gartland showed his teeth whilst singing the bands controversial current hit song and pro refugee anthem 'Pamper the Tampa'.

Mr Gartland was taken into custody after the gig but released without charges after giving an assurance that he wouldn't repeat the offence.

"Man it's the first time its happened, we all make mistakes and I know I have let down fellow lead singers and the band by my actions" Mr Gartland said.

Though Gartland was relieved not to be charge by the Police it is believed that further action could be taken after the Lead Singers Union of Australia (LSUA) were flooded with complaints following the gig.

The Boys do Noise

The last three songs at Sunday's Perico gig at the Railway were filmed for Noise TV before the boys were whisked away for an interview of hard-hitting questions and intelligent responses.

We don't have any idea when or if the footage and interview will be shown, but promise to keep our many dedicated readers of this blog well informed.


Pictured, above, is a television, which Perico may appear on at some stage.
