On today’s show, I chat with Michael from Melbourne based band, Forklift Assassins. I first came across the band in pre Covid gig days, and more recently, my band, Relays, have done several gigs with the group, including a couple in Adelaide. Forklift Assassins may well be one of the country’s hardest working bands, seemingly playing somewhere most weekends. The band play a punk influenced brand of hard rock in the vein of Motorhead and even when playing for a small bunch or punters, always give 100%. They’re the kind of band I love to play after because they always set a high bar with the delivery of their music making it incumbent upon subsequent bands to bring their own A game! You have your chance to see Forklift Assassins play Bendigo at Rock the Vine part 1 this Saturday, along with 9 other acts.

Bendigo – situated in the geographical centre of Victoria. Should it be the central to the tour itinerary of bands playing Victoria? Yup. Could it be? Let’s you and I do what we can to make that the case! When the venues book out of town bands, I’ll aim to play them and if possible, interview them. I’ll support the local acts too, because we wanna hear local voices and sounds too, right? When you hear about these gigs and you dig the act, buy a ticket in advance. Deal? Together we can support our great local acts, while putting our beautiful regional city on the rock and roll tour map!
