Perico Nominated for Queen's Honours

Rumour was awash Sydney Road coffee shops this morning that Brunswick rockers Perico were favourites for this weekend's Queen's Honour.

The professor and Perico bass man Greg was non-plussed.

"It's not really about the awards or even the money, fame, chicks, drugs and all that." he said."It's about the music. So I won't even be watching the awards this weekend."

Guitarist and groom-to-be Richo said he'd heard all those rumours before.

"Every year it's the same thing. Rumours are spread that we've been nominated, the gossip is all over the tabloids and then...boom...we find it's all crap. So I'm not getting my hopes up. "

The annual award is struck in memory of Freddie Mercury from Queen, whose birthday we're celebrating this weekend. The award goes to the band with the best moustache. This year Drummer Col has been sporting a Chopper-like growth on his face that some people think might actually qualify, lending weight to the rumours. The Award will be announced on Monday.
