Skyrocketting petrol prices will not keep patrons away from Perico's next gig, according to leading Brunswick environmentalist and social commentator, Damo Wilding. Wilding has applauded the latest news from Perico, that they will be "doing their bit" by holding their next gig in Brunswick where patrons are encouraged to walk to, rather than drive.
"It's really just economic sense" he explained. "With the current price of petrol exceeding $1.50 a litre, it's just too expensive for anyone to go anywhere by car anymore."
Perico guitarist Richard Oldfield, who is currently residing in Eltham, is believed to be cycling to the gig next Saturday, but believes that most patrons will opt for 'foot-power' or at the very least use public transport.
"Of course, if you don't live in Brunswick, and you have to drive, we've arranged for free entry next Saturday. That'll help the budget too." he said.
Perico play the Front Bar of the Retreat Hotel this Saturday night from 7.30pm. Entry is free.
