William Shatner (Barbary Coast), Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galacticia) and many other sci-fi notables came to Sydney in 2000 for a convention in the Sydney Entertainment Centre. The first press conference had some wacky questions, but this time not from me.
This is from my Rewind show on Channel V, Foxtel that was a weekly retro music show every Friday & Saturday night.
Check out that WTF look on the Shatsters’s face…

Hordern Dance Party Special with Maynard from Hordern Pavilion Dance Party Special. Maynard
With the recent passing of DJ Paul Holden I was inspired to post the entire hour of a Special I did on Rewind on Channel V in 2001. Using footage originally shot at many dance parties by Charles Amsden in 1988 – 1990. I put some memorabilia and the clips of all the original house tracks. (although I know the Rozalla track is a remix, but we couldn’t find a broadcast version of the original Everybody’s Free at that time.)
Enjoy, the show is dedicated to DJ Paul Holden and everyone else who was there.

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.

April 1989 & Bananarama tour Australia for the first time. Maynard chats with Jacquie O’Sullivan (who replaced Siobhan Fahey when she left to do Shakespears Sister) about Melbourne nightclubs, safe sex and heavy drinking during their World Tour. This is a real time capsule from 1989. You don’t get so many questions about condoms these days.
Jacquie O’Sullivan, Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward turned up at Maynard’s Madd Club on the Monday night in Sydney, that is where the above photo was taken, about 2am.

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.
Which explains why this story comes with a language warning.

This show is ribald and NSFW.
Maynard and Tim wonder who the real men are, without the help of Joe Jackson, but with the help of Sting’s underpants in Dune and a Zebra penis. Tim reads out a list of 80s singers he has a problem with. You may be here for a while…
