Perico Deny Christian Rock Charge

Brunswick band, Perico, have denied rumours that fans are about to see a change in musical direction by moving into the "Christian Rock" scene.

The denial comes despite a leaked set list for this Saturday night's gig, obtained exclusively by this blog, which includes songs with titles such as "The Hill Song" and "Go to Heaven". It's no seceret that Bass player Greggy Ay is known for his fondness of church choirs and that the band have suspiciously stopped playing Sunday morning gigs.


"If we did [switch to Christian Rock], it'd be for profit, not for the prophet" explained God-fearing drummer Col Robertson, who's often seen wearing a "Jesus is my Home Boy" t-shirt.


Singer and guitarist, Tim Gartland, was more emphatic with his denials saying that the only "Churchy" thing that the band would ever consider doing is a cover of "Unguarded Moment" but even that wasn't likely because the vocals were too hard.


Perico play two sets this Saturday night at the Retreat Hotel front bar in Brunswick as part of their Diamond Anniversary celebrations. Amen.
