Steve Tallis Band
Mo’ Candy
(with Danny Loong)
Steve Tallis is an
Australian griot, a blues
shaman. Perth born, he has
lived and performed in the
US, Europe, Mexico and
Asia – supporting some of
the biggest names in music.
Steve‟s influences include
Leadbelly, John Coltrane,
Tim Buckley, Captain
Beefheart, Sun Ra, Van
Morrison, Howling Wolf,
Tom Waits, Jack Bruce and
Bob Dylan.
Hall of Fame in 2004.
Since 2008 he has lived in
France and the PBC is very
happy to have him back for
this special visit.
43 Cambridge
43 Cambridge have never
followed the trends, instead
writing music they love as it
comes, with most songs
evolving from long writing
sessions. Rock is the best
word to describe the
band's style, but the songs
can be very diverse.
Musically, 43 Cambridge's
songs have both a light and
dark .
The guys play over a
hundred shows a year,
relentlessly touring around
the nation with their own
bus and P.A.
Julius Lutero (Trio)
WA‟s Julius Lutero is one
of those musicians you
want as your best mate and
on first meeting feel you‟ve
known forever.
With influences rooted in
the blues Julius‟ musical
style has evolved over time
to add funky grooves,
acoustic ballads and what
he calls „melodic reggae‟ to
his essentially warm and
melodic style. To see and
hear Julius perform is an
experience that will leave
you with a new best friend,
a nd a st ran ge ye t
compelling desire to go out
and change the world for
the better.
Perth‟s hip organ trio, Mo'
Candy, cook up a swingin‟ mix of
Texas shuffles, New Orleans
funk, ‟60s soul-jazz and gritty
Chicago boogie.
Spearheading Mo‟ Candy is
the dynamic vocal and guitar
style of Trevor Jalla, who has
returned to Australia after four
years in Singapore, during which
time he fronted Universal Blues
Band at the International Blues
Challenge 2003 in Memphis
and Buddy Guy‟s Legends in
Chicago. His soul-blues vocals
complement a hip guitar
approach reminiscent of
Albert Collins, Jimmie Vaughan
and T-Bone Walker that is at
once authentic and refreshing.
The engine behind the band is
the inimitable Hammond organ
of Bob Patient. A blues icon in
his own right, Patient is one of
Australia‟s finest players who
regularly performs with
international acts. His fat bass
lines and thick chord-melody
approach set up the foundation
for the trio‟s unique sound.
Drummer Joe Whittle is
equally at home in the blues,
jump, funk, soul-jazz and hard
bop idioms. He adds a groove
that draws deep from the
rich history of African-American
music. Mo‟ Candy are sure to
satisfy even the most die-hard
blues fans. Be sure to catch the
trio for a mo' better time!
Danny Loong co-fronted
uBlues and still lives in
Singapore. An avid blues fan and
a mostly self-taught musician, he
is a gifted pianist, guitarist and
harpist. Teamed with his good
friend, Trevor, this will be a
night to remember for all.
Blue Shaddy
Singer/songwriter and guitarist
Jim McClelland, his brother Belly
(harmonica) and Sandra (bass
guitarist and wife of Jim) were
born and bred in WA's remote
Wheatbelt – a harshly beautiful
environment complete with
dust and flies, but with not a lot
else to do but focus on their
shared love of music. When you
listen to Blue Shaddy‟s songs you
get a strong sense of where these
three come from and it is very
much apparent that their heart
still lies in their country roots.
Currently between the studio
and the old stone homestead
recording their latest album (due
for release next autumn) Blue
Shaddy have had an ultra-busy
2010 playing on stages all over
the country. The summer festival
season looks busy, so take this
opportunity to catch Blue Shaddy
Live @ the PBC.
Rick Steele
The PBC President grows in
stature and enigma by the gig.
Revel in a musical life well lived.
Tuesday 14 December
Marco & The Rhythm
Kings
Once in every blue moon, a
band hits the scene with the
perfect ch em istry and
everything just seems to fall
into place. Marco & The
Rhythm Kings have truly got
that mojo workin‟... smokin',
in fact. Re-uniting Tornado
Alleycats‟ Marco Agostino
(vocals/rhythm guitar) and
Andy Jarvis (lead guitar), along
with killer rhythm section Neil
Bushby (upright bass) and
Brian Booy (drums), these
rockin' cats tear it up, with
wild rockabilly and swingin'
rock‟n‟roll to blow your dance
shoes off!
Boom! Bap! Pow!
Fronted by dynamic vocalist,
Novac Bull, Boom! Bap! Pow! is
their name and trashy doo-wop
pop‟n'soul is their mission.
Nominated for three 2010
WAMI Awards and recently
revving up the North Coast of
WA on the WAMI regional
tour up Boom! Bap! Pow! have
also supported The Four Tops,
The Temptations, Martha
Reeves & The Vandellas, Royal
Crown Revue, Steven Malkmus
& The Jicks, The Miracles, Mary
Wilson of The Supremes, Joan
Osbourne (USA) and Bluejuice

a special festive performance

Patient and Ric Eastman – with

Rick Steele.
Collard, Greens &
Gravy CD launch
Highly-acclaimed blues trio
Collard Greens & Gravy are
returning to WA to launch Juke
Joint Boogie, the fifth album by this
multi-award winning blues
act. The album‟s direction is
based upon the early Sun
Records' Blues recordings, of
such artists as Howling Wolf,
Junior Parker and Doctor Ross.
“The music of those artists had a
raw, primal, rough and tumble,
which despite being record in the
1950‟s, sounds more mean than
most recordings since” says
vocalist and harmonica player Ian
Collard.
The album marks a new first
for the band, in that they have
recorded mixed and mastered
digitally. Just as the studios
recording blues in the 1950‟s
were pushing the technological
possibilities of capturing the
sounds of the artists, so this new
album is a recording utilising the
technology of 2010.
Tuesday 28 December
Chain and guests
The iconic history of the great
Australian blues band Chain was
added to this year when Matt
Taylor was inducted into the
WAM Hall of Fame at the PBC‟s
Charles Hotel home back in May.
He leads Chain into a new year at
this show, surely the most
awesome end to 2010 for any
blues fan worth their salt.
… also performing tonight is
singer/songwriter P J O‟Brien.

November - December 2010
Barrel House - Tuesday 23 November
P
ort Macquarie-based trio
Barrel House came together in early 2007
when singer/guitarist, Dwaine
Cameron, felt the need to
experience a bigger onstage
experience that he just couldn‟t fulfil playing solo. In searching for this experience he recruited two amazing local musicians in Jarin Penniall and
Jorden Howell to form Barrel
House, a three-piece blues, roots,
rock, dance and funk outfit that in
its short existence has plenty of
people taking notice.
The „experience‟ has since
been attained but by no means
settled for. Barrel House are
continually challenging themselves to make each show better then the last. With over
250 shows under their belt,
covering a good chunk of Australia, Barrel House are working very hard to become the
ultimate live band. While there
is structure around their live
set, no two performances will
be the same as the band like to
feel their way through each and
every song, often letting crowd
reactions determine the length
of a particular section. It is
these grooves that keep people
out of their seats all night.
Nasty Dogz
The Big Old Bears
The Nasty Dogz are a tight,
professional three-piece hardhitting rock and boogie band
performing rock classics served
with a bite.
Their repertoire ranges from
original material through to the
classics of Led Zeppelin, The
Who, The Cult, Black Crowes,
The Cruel Sea, Rolling Stones,
ZZ Top, Doors, Pink Floyd,
SRV, AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and
right through to newer, up-todate material from the Red Hot
Chili Peppers, U2, Live etc.
Hailing from the hills of
Perth, these young musicians
are creating a new sound with
an old feel.
With influences dating back
to 1920s blues, folk and ragtime, and the use of many
different instruments.
Known for their high energy,
banjo-swinging, fiddle-grinding
tunes, The Big Old Bears will
keep your foot tapping all night
long!.
