Perico to end Fitzroy Hiatus

In breaking news, Brunswick home-boys Perico have announced their return to the Fitzroy pub scene next Sunday. Opening up a double-header set with fellow Brunswigians The Vile Reign, Perico play their virgin gig at The Old Bar in Johnson St, Fitzroy.
Perico renaissance man and Lions supporter, Richard Oldfield has been reportedly ecstatic since hearing the news and allegedely hasn't stopped singing to the tune of the Marsellaise "we play The Old Bar in Fitroy..."

Perico Take Sponge bath

Last night, Brunswick studs Perico, showed why they are more than just career-focused money-grabbing, slightly hedonistic rock stars, by performing in front of nurses at the Children's hospital.

"I've always wanted to perform in front of a nurse, " declared frustrated drummer Col, "instead of just behind one." - a reference to the many years Col has spent sitting behind singer/guitarist and male nurse Tim Gartland.

The gig, part of a nursey cocktail celebration and awards night, was attended by close to 100 people. Band spokesman and harmonicist, Richard Oldfield, told pericoloco that "there were dozens of excessively drunk nurses everywhere."

However, he was quick to reject reports circulating the hospital of untoward activities involving a sponge, a stethescope and a rectal thermometer.

The Dinner Set, this Sunday.

Following the staggering-home success of Two-Up Tuesday at the Brunswick Hotel on ANZAC Day eve, Perico are proud to announce this week's barbeque stopper, this Sunday evening, May 6th 2007, at the Retreat Hotel, 280 SydneyRd, Brunswick.

Located allegedly only a torpedo punt from Perico House in David Street, the Retreat is in many ways the spiritual home for the band. Certainly Tim, Richo, Greg and Col have spent a lot of time there drinking spirits.

Apart from regularly featuring the best musical talent going, or supporting Perico's drinking habits, The Retreat is also renowned for its hearty and well-priced meals. That's why Perico have found the best combination evening for you that's possible.

We suggest you get there at about 6pm, grab your table near the front (if you haven't already reserved one), and join Perico for a counter meal and jolly conversation. Soon after, Mark Sinton, a fine friend of Perico, and a sharp musician, will provide entrée with a one-off solo set. The main course (Perico) will be served shortly after, and will consist of some new exquisite tastes as well as some old favorites.

The whole thing will be over by 8:30pm (it is a school night after all) and entry is free. Meals are extra.

Hope you can make it. See you there this Sunday.
