Anyone going to see DKM on the 25th at the Metro in Melbourne? An awesome band who have a reputation for being extremely good live. This gig would probably be the most anticipated one for the year for me, definately one worth checking out.

Bought the recently released DVD and if the live shows on that are any indication it is going to be pretty savage!
 
Yeah am trying to weasil out of work to get there, fingers crossed it all pans out, going to be a blast. Sos going to have the get the DVD too, haven't been able to get it in Warrnambool is it true that it goes for around four hours?

"So come on rally round this brave and valiant cause, with tradition, honour and pride at its core!" - Heroes from our past.
 
Yeah the dvd is choc full of stuff and goes for about 4 hours, its got:
A full set from the ST Patricks Day show
65 Days of Hell - road trip doco
behind the scenes - misc shows, trips and shennanigans
All of their music videos
Labour Day doco

I am a big wrap for it, very entertaining and covers a lot of ground from their earlier days right up iuntil some of their Blackout shows from 2003.

Would love to hear Gangs All Here and Skinhead on the MTBA live at some stage!

Awesome gig! They truely are an amazing band live, deserving of their reputation. The crowd was loving every minute of it, the set was mostly from Blackout with a few rippers thrown in like Pipebomb on landsdowne, The gauntlet, Skinhead on the MTBA. Was stoked to be able to get up on stage and send out a few OI! 's during the last song.

Can't wait to see them again.
 
One of the best live shows I've been to, really blew me away luckily my friends are Metro veterans and we got upstairs on the balcony and had a great view of the action. Got to love the Murphy's - setlist wise Heroes from our past, Barroom hero and the Gauntlet were the highlights for me, also enjoyed that cover of Teenage Wasteland(I think thats what its called, they played it near the end, I remember hearing it on a movie called Summer of Sam).
 
Oh yeah picked up the On the road DVD after the show so far so good with what I've seen of it, disappointed they sold out of those cool Ice Hockey tops with the Pirate Logo on the front so quickly, also the beer prices they raised the price to like $4.40 when the band was on and after they went off stage it dropped to $2.60, plus certain people piking it early.
 
Plus it was Tooheys.... bah! Those hockey jerseys are pretty cool hey, got one of them straight away. What did you think of the support acts? I thought they were quality with the second group really going off. Good value for money at 33 dollars I reckon.
 
how's the new pipe player? is he a performer like spicy?

i didn't go this year but went to the show at the corner last year. or was it the year before.

Haha yeah you lucky bastard, going to have to order one off the net now hope it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. Only caught the end of the second act and they seemed alright, was more interested in fuelling up at that stage though. :p

Not funny Nicole, whats your song? ;)

Can't remember ... some silly person told me it was a slow song too, which is completely wrong!

Oh Forever wasn't it?

I thought for months that was a love song but found out late last year somewhere that it is about remembering the deceased. Either way it is still quite slow. :p

True(agreeing with sonofscray), a friend who wasn't a big Murphy's fan heard it for the first time the other night and cracked up the whole way through it, heres the lyrics for those yet to have the pleaure of hearing this classic -

I play in a band, we're the best in the land
We're big in both Chelsea and France
I play one mean guitar and then score at the bar
There's a line of chicks waiting for their chance
So come on now honey, I'll make you feel pretty
These other gals mean nothing to me
Let's finish these drinks and be gone for the night
"Cause I'm more than a handful, you'll see

(chorus)
So kiss me I'm ****faced
I'm soaked I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round

I can bench-press a car, I'm an ex-football star
With degrees from both Harvard and Yale
Girls just can't keep uo, I'm a real love machine
I've had far better sex while in jail!
I've designed the Sears Tower, I make two grand an hour
I cook the world's best Duck Flambe
I'll take the pick of the litter, girls jockey for me
I don't need these lines to get laid

I'm a man of the night, a real ladies delight
See my figure was chiseled from stone
One more for the gal then I'll escort her home
Come last call I'm never alone
I've a house on the hill with a red waterbed
That puts Hugh Heffner's mansion to shame
With girls by the pool and Italian sports cars
I'm just here in this dump for the game...

I'm a pitiful sight, and I ain't all that bright
I'm definitely not chiseled from stone
I'm a cheat and a liar, no woman's desire
I'll probably die cold and alone...
...but just give me a chance, 'cause deep down inside
I swear I've got a big heart of gold
I'm a monogamous man, no more one night stands.
Come on honey, let me take you home.
