Sunday Drivers in Smash Hit.

Around 100 people packed out the Retreat Hotel on Sunday night to see the inaugural Sunday Drivers gig featuring Mark Sinton & the Prefabs, Thrill City Radio and Brunswick super-rockers Perico.

Well-known Brunswick drinker, Damo Wilding, was impressed.

"It was so pumped in there.. it was like a Saturday night, not a Sunday." he said.

"Only it was different 'cos I would have had to get up early the next day, being Monday, if I actually had a job to go to, that is."

Perico, who had just completed 6 gigs in 4 weeks and were in white-hot form, are likely to be in short recess for a month or two before re-appearing in March. More details to follow.

Perico Returns

Hot off the tails of a whirlwind regional tour, Brunswick quartet Perico return to familiar territory this Sunday 21st Jan at the Retreat Hotel, Brunswick as part of the "Sunday Drivers" megagig.

First off the grid, and firing on all cylinders will be Mark Sinton and the Prefabs, followed by Perico, with the turbo charged Thrill City Radio gunning it down the home straight.

Engines will be started at 7pm, and $5 gets you pole position for all the action. The Retreat kitchen is open all day for re-fuelling.

Retreat Hotel is at 280 Sydney Road Brunswick (near corner Glenlyon Road)

Farewell Show for TCR at Sunday Drivers

Thrill City Radio have announced that their final ever gig will be as the final act on the 21st January's Sunday Drivers gig at the Retreat.

Also on the bill is Northern-irish born Mark Sinton and his band, the Prefabs and Brunswick all-star rockers, Perico.

The line-up for this supergig is one of the strongest assembled this year so far, and appears to be a sho-in for next week's Golden Parrot.

Sunday Drivers kicks off at 6:30pm at the Retreat on Sun 21 jan. $5 cover charge.

3/4 lengths back in as Yarrawonga ROCKS

"The fashion police haven't made it up to Yarrawonga as yet" said a disturbed Richo last night, commenting on the 3/4 lengths being worn by both bass player Greg and guest muso Sean Payne.

"I thought we had an agreement about wearing that type of thing ... obviously I was mistaken."

The 3/4 incident was the only sour note on an otherwise successful 2 gig tour to the Murray.

Perico return to Brunswick on the 21st of January at the Retreat Hotel.
