Weird Al Yankovic played the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Saturday night to a packed crowd of chanting Weird Al fans. I got in the middle of them and found out that Al is more loved, by more people, of all ages than ever.
The dress code for the night was loud and the headgear; tinfoil.
Thanks to everyone for allowing me to accost them with my microphone, and to the man himself Al.

Kiss played Sydney on Saturday, and just the Kiss stage show is larger than life, so are their fans. Out the front of the arena were three generations of fans, dressed and made up, ready for the huge night it was.
Even “The Elder”, a lesser appreciated Kiss offering got a mention.
And we finally got the definitive answer as to why Gene Simmons is such a legend.

Two interviews with Mr Brian Canham from 2008 and 2010, in which Brian talks about his career with Pseudo Echo and his hair.

How much fun was producing Chocolate Starfish? Brian Canham solves many of your Pseudo Echo issues.
