STRETCH LIMOUSINE PULLS INTO THE PBGB SHED
 
Not too long ago we had a visit from  three likely lads who each have a bit of PBGB Shed time under their belts.
 
We've known Yarnnie Drakopoulos for yonks. In fact one of the earliest gigs PBGB ever did was at Yarnnie's 'Cantina' tapas and cocktails nightspot in Merimbula waaay back in the early days. Yarnnie is a long time friend of The Shed. He's an accomplished drummer but being left handed he finds it difficult  to just join in the regular fray.
 
Yarnnie is also the boss man at local community radio station 97.5 Sapphire fm. Sapphire djs are great supporters of PBGB and regularly play our songs. So yea, Yarnnie is in our good books !
 
Anyway, Yarnnie and a couple of mates have put together a band they call  'Stretch Limousine'. Yarnni's Stretch Limousine cohorts, Stevie Knight and Kingi Wineti have both logged up Shed time, but haven't until now been involved in a Shed  recording session.
 
So when Yarnnie called up and asked if Stretch Limousine could use The Shed to knock up a demo cd they could play to pub and club bookers we said  "Sure, come on down"
 
So back in August, they lugged in, plugged in, and with nary a pause knocked out a clutch of songs from their repertoire. Basically they just launched into a set from their repertoire while the recorder was rolling.
 
Neil took the songs home and did some rudimentary mixing, but basically what you hear is what they played on the spot.
 
The song featured here is a Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble cover called 'Hug You Squeeze You', a relatively obscure SRV tune that Double Trouble featured in their live repertoire for years before it finally turned up on an SRV compilation cd around the year 2000.
 
Anyway, have a listen by clicking HERE
 
Nice job boys !
 
We have a few more songs da boyz recorded on the day up our sleeves, and will be posting  a couple more in due course, so, as always, watch this space !!
