Perico breather, my idea says singer

As Perico lead singer, Rockin' Timmy Gartland, enters his third week of total abstinence, he admitted on Tuesday night that Perico's 3 week breather from gigs was associated with his desire to breathe something more than the putrid air from a styvo.

"Perico gigs always make me drink too much, smoke a lot, and generally overdose on happiness" he told pericoloco.

"I need a break from happiness and fulfilment, so I'm pleased we're not playing again until Thursday the 11th of October, at the Brunswick Hotel, with RPG Radio.

Guitarist in Name Sabotage Scandal

Brunswick has been rocked as allegations surfaced last night that Perico guitarist Richard Oldfield, is behind a school boy prank to rename Perico as "Pericho", after himself.

"Yes, we've always wondered when he was going to make his move" confessed Perico drummer Colin Robertson, who was unsuccessful in renaming the band Pericolin in November 2005.
"but quite frankly I didn't think he try it on when the band had its biggest gig for 2007 scheduled this Saturday."

Mr Oldfield wants to rename the band after himself.

Mr Oldfield has denied the allegations and has, according to reasonably unreliable sources, been ringing the Retreat, street press and anyone who'll listen to try and get the name changed back. But pericoloco can report that he missed this one.

Perico, who play the front bar of the Retreat Hotel on Saturday night, are part of a four band mega night, with Wild Turkey (7:30pm) , Mick Thomas & Craig Pilkington (10pm) and The GoSet (11:30pm). Perico come on at 8.30pm in the front bar. Entry is free.
